I Do Not Follow Politics

I dont really follow politics but I am surprised and quite proud of my little country today.. we were given so many threats and scaremongering stories about what would happen if we left the EU... that many people were literally voting stay just because they were worried what would happen if we left.. that's not a choice..
I thought for sure we'd stay in.. i am proud that people had the guts to take a leap and vote leave.. seems we aren't such a bunch of wusses as i thought :P

@Laifu1: Thank you for clarifying the MaoMao. Your third sentence, besides being condescending, is incorrect. I'm well-educated and well-traveled and find left-wing thinking to be an intellectual strait-jacket. [Perhaps incidentally, the historical Mao came close to destroying Chinese culture, which I respect highly. I do hope you don't venerate him.]

To ALL: the attached piece published today on marketwatch may be helpful in understanding likely motives and consequences of the vote.
