Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
All I can say is you should get out more.
its because Im out and about around the world that i think this!

UK leaving EU is the most extreme political action I have witnessed in my life. Relatively speaking, it feels like the pre-step before an 'Ayatollah' moment like in Iran.

I am genuinely scared of European Right wining ideology: Recent history shows us how their beliefs play out.
The human race does not become wiser over the centuries. we read our actions and mistakes every generation. The people who witnessed and know about the 1st and 2nd world wars are all dead. Its all theory now.

Everyone wants and enjoys power. Its in the hands of the far right in the UK. The entire world woke up this morning and shuddered. Make of that what you will..
 
Isn't it more that pols shouldn't gamble away their responsibilities in referenda?

People voted for the Conservatives based partly on that promise. A total of 52% of the UK electorate voted for pro-referendum/right-wing parties.

So you were born after Syrian civil war started? Or maybe after the fall of Yugoslavia?

British far right is dead as it should be. Give it a break and check back after a few days, things will stabilise.
 
Who was saying that the democracy is a good idea?

People with IQ lower than 110 should not be allowed to vote. I am dead serious on that.

In fact, is is better if people didn't vote at all for these types of things. Too big decisions in the hand of the idiots.
Democracy offers no serious answers for giving votes to idiots and ignorants.
 
What does this mean for Education in general? that's a large worry of mine.

I'm personally planning to undertake a Masters degree next year, £10,000 grants available for those who wish to do post-grad study I wonder if that will be slashed soon.

Really do not like the way this country is going.

Reforms into making schools academies, raising tuition fees to £9,000 per year of study now Brexit will really make research, grants difficult, will policies change?
 
How about an entrance exam. You need to score 50% or above before you can vote?
I've thought for awhile that this would be a great idea. An exam based on the issues. If you fail, you cannot vote.

Representative democracies, hell the Athenian democracy itself, were not established with universal suffrage FOR A REASON.

Please read:

Jesus Christ some of the posts on the Caf, Facebook and Twitter with a blatant disregard for the democratic process.

There is a difference in the Alabama literacy test and a test on the critical issues of the election/referendum.

For the world's sake, I hope you remain dumber
And me really. Us leaving the EU could could cost me my job and or workers rights. Trump could lead the world to Nuclear Annihilation. After all Nuclear is the most important part of America's Nuclear Triad.

After yesterday though I cant trust the intelligence of the world populace.

Not good mate.

That's worse than secondhand smoke!
 
This.

The whole "democracy is great, as long as the result tips the way we want it to" vibe going on in here is strange to say the least.

Altso the ostracizing of elder people who voted leave. So, you are likely to die in the next 15 years? You shouldn't have the democratic right to vote then.
How about weighting votes in relation to your average remaining life years?
 
And me. I was only joking I'm more about the rights of the many than trying to push elitism.

It's a combination of
1. Higher education becoming more expensive and less valuable in terms of a job
2. Mass media increasingly reflecting the priorities of its owners and advertisers

because of which the poor will consistently self-harm in elections. Even so, it's worth pointing out that the strongest divide is by age.

Restricting voting would be a dream for the same forces that have created this mess.

Oh the test wasn't to see if they were intelligent enough just to make sure they agree with me
