Dutch are different from England, lots of people opposed to the EU in its current structure for sure but that is vastly different then actually leaving, our media landscape and recognition as a small country instead of a powerhouse also means we are unlikely to vote leave(if the referendum even occurs). We also have a 1 man 1 vote voting system so the disenfranchisement is not as bad as it is in GB

host of different reasons as to why we won't leave

were fine.

If xenophobia and racism are on the other side of the spectrum to political correctness, then I take with all 10 fingers the xenophobia and racism.

I normally just ignore the morons shouting words like racism with zero evidence. I cant even imagine how uneducated you need to be to connect "racist" and "xeonophobic" to everyone that voted for Brexit. It's mindboggling.

The irony is that Scotland wants to now have a second referedum.
My prediction:
They vote to leave the UK then in about 5 years time there's a rise in right wing Scottish nationalism because they're sick of all the English refugees being such a drain on all their public services and finances, so they also vote to leave the EU.

You can debate if it was actually racist/xenophobic or not, but immigration was one of the leading issues that pushed the entire issue.

If you can't see how the Brexit debate was linked to ideas of racism/xenophobia, then you're blind.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

And how can you tell if people are racist/xenophobic for wanting better immigration controls? Wouldn't that depend on their reasons for wanting a better immigration system, or are you one of those people that think mass uncontrolled immigration is a good thing.

There could be many reasons why people have a problem with the way immigration is at the moment, and it doesn't have to be racism or whatever else. I have always been pro immigration myself, i do believe its good for the economy, however there is a limit.

So as i said, people shouting the words racism without any evidence are mindboggling, it does nothing but try to shut down the debate.

But this is exactly the problem. Because it is exactly only idiots, who consider "racism/xenophobia" and "being against an uncontrolled immigration" as synonyms.

I live in the North of England, and i can tell right now this vote is based on racism and poverty, both of which have fuck all to be involved in the EU but are caused by Leadership incompetence of successive ruling goverments

I am 48 years old and i have never been so disappointed in my fellow man.

With that line of reasoning, we will never be able to say that anything is xenophobic or racist. Or use the words in a modern context, since there could always be a "a good reason." They will be reserved for historical events where the intent of the actors has already been decided upon. Sounds risky.

I don't know why you think wanting stronger immigration policies is linked to racism/xenophobia.

It seems like you're the blind one to what a slippery slope fallacy that is.

We are talking about Britain here, one of the, if not the most multicultural country/'s in the world. I normally stay away from these debates as most of them happen in the USA thread and i'm not completely educated on stuff like the problems with racism etc over there, i don't believe its as bad as some make out but sure there are problems.

Now Britain is a completely different story, i have never seen people so open to LGBT community or ethnic minorities, its a great thing to be a part of. Not saying there is no racism, you're always going to get the odd idiots but to say that people voted Brexit because they don't like people of a certain skin colour is laughable, and it has no basis.

If Liberals spent their time accusing actual racists of racism we would all be a lot better off and wouldn't need these endless debates.

The EU deserves this for having unaccountable civil servants dictating policy.
Merkel deserves this for her absolutely disastrous migrant policy.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

And what exactly is racism? I mean not the definition in wikipedia, but what people think of when they hear "racist" and "racism". First thing that comes to mind to me are the nazi party, ss officers and Hitler. Or neonazis and football ultras in recent times. How many real racists exist these days? I mean people who'll go all the way and start killing inviduals of other races... Very, very, very few i think.
The fact that immigrants and mostly the economic immigrants are not liked by big chunk of the modern societies has nothing to do with racism as pointed few times in this thread.

"Native" Germans are dying out. What is "disastrous" about importing human resources from other countries?
The leaders dont care about the ancestry of the citizens. What they care about is cheap labourers who do as they are told. If the old population gets lazy, get a new population.
This is perhaps the smartest move they could have made. The immigrants will work cheap jobs with comparatively bad conditions and they will be thankful for that. Its the ultimate win for the german society.

Whats sad to see is an entire generation of kids who don't know what it means to have freedom doesn't understand why you'd even want it in the first place.

Their great-grandfathers died fighting for sovereignty, what luck you must have to live in an age were you only have to tick a box for freedom.
