UK General Election 2017

There was only one real election and the Brits voted for a Brexit, next election was about who's going to ignore it. Same here, we (the Dutch population) never wanted a EU-constitution or associaten-treaty witk Ukraine because we don't want trouble with Russia but we got it anyway. We voted against both but it's signed anyway. Elections, kidding me there is no choice only an answer and the answer is stfu

So who did you vote for on Thursday? Tories? UKIP?

Asking that to me is just as meaningless as me asking it to you, you will always get the same regardless.

Europe is just not important to that many people here. However there is a minority of people, and a significant number of media barons, who are really bothered by it. When people were presented with a referendum, most took it either as a chance for a protest vote, or as a way to get a bit nationalistic.

They called it a 'protest vote' here as well, think a little further, it's no settled matter for the EU to exist it's thrown upon us. I can see it as nothing else than a very aggresive entity that has very little popular support, and who will never take no for an answer. They frankly scare the shit out of me because they are sure of themselves, and are so hostile to those who doesn't want them. It's 1984 but in 2017

Hard Brexit has bloody significant knock on effects.
