So you think that A who are reporting on what B have said are infact manufacturing something that B are supposed to have said and B just go along with it? Are you seriously that stupid? | ||

Might be the start of the end for EU. Le Pen usually gets slaughtered in the second round of voting, so no chance of that ever happening. People urgently need to stop blaming the EU problems that are entirely home-brewn. | ||

Because apparantly there is a correlation between highly educated (people that, on average, are informed, understand the mechanisms) and the youth (people that, on average, are informed, and HIGHLY affected) that want to remain, and on the other hand older people (less informed, less affected) and poor (BLAME THE EU) to leave. | ||

In The Netherlands there are at least 5 different things which you can vote for (both 2 houses of parliament, regional government, local government, european parliament and the water board). As far as I am aware only 2 States hold referendum's and we don't have any national referendum's. The US has so much crap to vote on, Senator/Rep for both DC and your State, Chief of Police/Sheriff/Judge(s)/Water councils/Local councilman/Mayor/etc., but for me, the most important are the votes on amendments to State Constitutions. http://dos.myflorida.com/elections/candidates-committees/offices-up-for-election/ http://dos.myflorida.com/elections/laws-rules/constitutional-amendments/ That's just offices. There are ballot initiatives you vote on for your city as well as State amendments to the Constitution, etc. On top of that, people can participate in jury duty and other civic engagements. Common Law countries just have much more participation in more things for the plebs. Which was my main objection to the post that something as important as choosing your own "ruler" shouldn't be up to the people, but to some technocrats or other Government bureaucrats. I have a good feeling that if this referendum was solely about the economic/trade side of the EU that remain would have walloped leave, but that's not what this vote was about. The people voting for leave aren't voting on an economic basis, but about self-determination and national sovereignty. As an American, that's something I can really empathize with. I wish I could get a vote in Florida on whether to remain or leave the US. :p | ||

I did too, it's no surprise that London would vote against much of england as their demographic is wildly different. Education very strongly correlating to remain votes and young voting remain, old voting leave is much more interesting | ||
