you have the role reverses. The people who vote for things like the Brexit feel like they have been screwed because life didn't go their way. Usually because they are uneducated and unfit to hold a high skilled job, which are the ones most available today.

England will be just fine. They may falter for a few years but they will come out stronger than ever. In five years they will be much better off this way than if they stayed on the course they were going. That is why they voted to leave.

I'm not even saying he's wrong about this, only that no one should take him seriously.

Obama spewing his elitist crap over in England was so typical. Was he actually threatening them? What a tool. He has 6 months left and everyone knows it. I am glad his words went in one ear and out the other.

Agree, fascist, is a much better description.

Mussolini discovered government bureaucrats were really bad at producing anything but very good at stealing.

In all likelihood, the UK will have more free trade agreements as a result of leaving.

The EU did not have any trade agreements with the 5 largest non-european economies -- USA, China, Japan, India, or Brazil.

Two of those countries are English-speaking with very close historical ties to Britain.
