Brexit Thread

[Gilrandir]

I did not feel I had to explain how humans have a tendency to be kept from actions by uncertainty but can become encouraged into action by seeing one man succeed. Nor did I feel I had to explain that restrictions, that would not be tolerated without the paralysis of uncertainty, are liable to be challenged once the uncertainty is removed.

In case of Brexit, it did cause more uncertainty. And other countries who were inclined to do the same now will watch the unfolding of the experiment with interest. Before taking rush decisions.

I remember being shown a video a while back that exhibited this phenomenon, here:


Note that the crowd didnt form for a long time until a second person nutted up and joined the leader, then it formed very quickly.

That about sums it up for me. Likening Brexit to a "nutted dance" and hoping the onlookers would join in.
