The Brits won’t have the balls to vote for Exit, just like the Scots didn’t have the balls.

The future for Britain has already arrived.

The no vote will lead to world markets going up 2% to 3% on Friday. Joy to the world. All is well!!!

The British people may vote to leave the EU, but the vote counters will claim they will remain.

Then again, I never thought Trump would be where he is either…………

If voting changed anything, they wouldn’t let you do it. No brexit. Bank on it. Pun intended.

Admin is wrong on two counts:

The Brits will vote for Exit from EU, BUT it is very likely that voter fraud by the Establishment will occur and the official results will be to stay.

The Scots did vote to leave but there was horrendous voter fraud by the Establishment.

All I hear from TPTB is the economy will implode if they leave. Job losses, pension losses, defaults, etc. So they are basically telling the citizens to vote money/greed over liberty.

I think the voter fraud will win and they will stay. The economy still implodes and the job losses, pension losses, defaults, etc still occur but the banksters reap better rewards.

my guess is “No” because they will listen to John Oliver

what will happen as a result?
The Muzloid Mayor of London will be PM in a decade, San Bernadino, Pulse in Orlando, Paris bombings, Swedish rapes, etc…

It’s craziness. Will the people wait until they are a minority in their own country to fight back?

If they don’t exit the EU (as they should), they will be 60% Muzzy in ten years with all the benefits and joys that go with that outcome.

If they do go (which I hope), they may experience a short, sharp recession which can be overcome with a little uncharacteristic work and zeal and they’ll be better off than before. The history of Europe is one of war, almost constant disputes, arguments and fights.. The English/Scots and Irish have the English Channel to fend off the rest of the continent like we use the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

They need to use it.

Odd tidbit, went to my online trading account this morning. Held a number of shares of GBB an ETF which follows the British pound/USD exchange rate. The online calculation showed a massive loss, doing the math the share price worked out to $19.48. The market price was $38.90. Not sure the reason for the difference. Put on my tinfoil hat and thought about building 7. Took my small profit.

I did believe there was no way TPTB would allow Brexit, thus the purchase of GBB. Just not so certain, when the herd goes one way a lot of money can be made being a contrainan. I still think no Brexit, but not putting my money on it any more.

The Brits are a bunch of pussies. They will bend over and drop their pants to the EU just like they will do for mooslim migrants.

They may be pussies, but they don’t like being called pussies. Get the popcorn ready!

Vote counters be damned..I say color them gone…The long term fallout will be positive. The EU has no trade deal with China, Russia, US or India. The Brits will make trade deals with those countries. Extricating themselves from the umbrella of a protectionist EU will make for a richer country. Hopefully they will end up like the Swiss with a bottom up system versus the top down system of the EU. The Brits need to shape their own destiny. They are aware of that and I believe that collectively they have had their fill of being dictated to by unelected officials in Brussels that could not care less about British culture or sovereignty. For their sake, I hope I have not misjudged them. We shall see.

This is a promising situation in which to take the current temperature of social mood, particularly because of the historic tensions the British have felt regarding Europe. The fact that there is an election in the first place, and the outcome hangs in the balance are somewhat helpful by themselves — the opinion polls are definitely showing an increase in feelings of separatism, dissolution, rejection of others, etc. compared to a decade ago. An outright ‘leave’ vote would be a clarifying moment, signaling that social mood in that area of the world has turned decisively negative and divisive. A positive vote would be more of a ‘business as usual shall continue until further notice’ message.

Those who fret about the idea that rigging an election by itself could significantly change or influence the overall trend fail to understand that all such attempts occur within the closed system they are trying to affect, and become just another input into the overall movement. Not a single revolution in the history of human civilization was voted on in advance, and ‘officially’ endorsed — it either happened, or it didn’t. Don’t expect to see any sort of ‘Fourth Turning Referendum’. We must look at the reaction to the announced Brexit vote outcome to see whether people accept it, or rise up against it. A vote is only one momentary, isolated event in a long chain of collective social behavior. We should keep that in mind as we brace for the American election this fall.

I have to agree with Admin at (09:31am) it will be a no vote. The Dow will soar and Janet will do her Bullwinkle impression and pull a rabbit out of her hat. Brits are pussies and could not manage to get out of a wet paper bag much less the EU.

Did that murder actually change the people’s support for Brexit or did it provide the excuse for the PTB to change the poll results as a cover for rigging the election?

Hard to vote for change it is, and scary. Therefore, even though deep down we all know all western democracies are headed for disaster, we will vote for an establishment candidate with the lies from the press and academia as intellectual cover. A possible vote for brexit does not change the direction.
