I don't know if you are joking, but that's how communists came in some countries. They claimed everyone was corrupt, then they founded "people's party", etc. The rest is known to everyone.

Really?

1. Campaigning for Brexit despite his prime minister.
2. His Brexit campaign wins, which is bad for UK's economy.
3. He backtracks, then he says that you shouldn't rush to leave.
4. He decides not to run for prime minister and conservative's leader.

You are either stupid or a leave voter. Or, maybe both.

Let me correct you a bit.
1. Bullshit, his prime minister was OK with it.
2. Bullshit, why should it be bad for UK's economy?
3. So what?
4. So what? Who knows who actually made the decision ...

The closing off of or restriction on a nations ability to trade with its neighbors is never good for an economy. The only argument you can make for brexit is that the loss in economic value is worth the increase in national sovereignty.

Are you an oracle? So far, nobody said, the nation will not be able to trade with its neighbors ...

Hope this guy will get banned, as I did for calling someone an 'idiot'.

Treason to campaign for a different outcome to the PM when the PM made it clear that the govt. were free to campaign as they wished? You are, dare I say it, an idiot.


No, treason is to risk your country's economy just to become the next PM. Just like what Boris Johnson was trying to do. Don't just tell half of the story. There is nothing wrong in having different views. What's wrong is when you do it for political gains, don't really believe in what you preach (Brexit in Johnson's case), while making your country less than stable.

Are you forgetting there was a democratic vote attached to this?
The leave campaign is not come military coup, it is a simple democratic decision.

Lying while campaigning is not a criminal offense (sadly). All the lies were debunked long before the referendum.
'Voters are dumb' is not treason.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

How is that? The UK for hundreds of years has benefited from opening new markets and lowering barriers for it to trade.

is a rather interesting video from Professor Michael Dougan where he assesses UK’s position following vote to leave the EU.

Protectionism might reduce economy but can be benefecial for citizens within the country(CAN not always), people also like distribution of wealth etc, that is not to say Brexit is a good idea to go about it but more "economy/GDP" is not always the most important factor.

He's a funny man, because he claims to be unbiased but then spends his entire time picking apart straw men. We know, for example, that the UK can veto Turkey's membership of the EU - but it categorically would not do so given that it was the UK govt that most eagerly pushed for Turkey's membership in the first place, because they were so keen to expand the market.

He says that it is a common lie that the EU commission adopts legislation. I would challenge him to give me one single example where this has been claimed to be the case. The EU commission proposes legislation and dictates policy making direction. These are powers the parliament does not have.

We know, as well, that the UK could have, in theory, vetoed treaties leading to further integration. I say in theory, because in practice they have failed to do so. The British public would never have voted in favour of the Lisbon treaty. The Irish rejected it... until they were made to take another vote. The French and Dutch also rejected it, in its earlier form as the EU constitution, through referenda, so they renamed it and didn't give the French/Dutch public another say. The national govts of Europe are absolutely complicit in what has been happening with the EU, so this result is a message to them just as much as it is a message to the EU itself. It is time to start standing up for your people.
