re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

The problem of the EU's democracy is that it isn't ours. Like everything else they believe in, it binds every member nation and is never going to truly reflect what the majority of people of the member states want. We can change our government and some say Corbyn's going to revolutionise the way things are done in the UK. How's he, or anyone else, going to do that when the future in the EU is inexorably more central control with correspondingly less able to be done by our own directly elected governments? It doesn't stack up I'm afraid. As 1 of 28 (or more) member states, our voice is just one of many, few of whom have similar national goals, interests and objectives to ours. We've seen in Greece what happens to those who dare to want something different from those based in Frankfurt who know best.
