re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
It is perfectly reasonable and right that people should have facts to help them make a choice and if we had a decent political class whose main goal was serving the interests of the people and nation we might have had those facts. What we have ended up with partly because of us the public is a bunch of selfish individuals many bought and paid for chasing their agendas as told to them by their paymasters or just doing what benefits them personally with no care or concern for either the people or the nation.
The UK is a fine nation with predominately fine people but our elected representatives are of the lowest calibre that I can remember and they have turned this referendum into an embarrassing farce that will do nothing but damage to the UK. I didn't vote in the 70's as I wasn't old enough but my vote is decided not so much on the past although that has been a factor but on what I believe will happen in the future given the course the EU is on. I'm voting with my kids future in mind as they will be the one's that suffer and pay in future and I'll likely be a pile of ash in 10 years so that's my reasoning.
Whatever the vote we the public must not make the mistake of the past and forget the conduct of our politicians we need a new group of politicians and get rid of the current lot as they have demonstrated they are incapable of doing what needs to be done. Whether we are in or out of the EU we need strength in our representatives to get what's best we clearly don't have that at the minute.
