Agree.
Plus,
I'm really surprised how uninformed the voters were (according to Google who revealed there were a ton of "what does it mean to leave the EU?" searches).

The Queen, by all accounts, is a very astute woman.

She has been Queen of the UK longer than most of us have been alive. She was a young woman when the UK fought in WWII. She was there when the Common Market was introduced. She was there when Britain voted to join the Common Market. She has watched the Common Market evolve into a very different EU. She has stayed on top of British politics since the 1950s. She has met more heads of states and premiers than any one else. She knows fully well what almost happened in 2014.

She is not an ignorant woman.

Last week it was reported in the press that the Queen had asked a number of guests to Buckingham Palace to give three good reasons for remaining in the EU. The Palace refused to confirm or deny the report.

Her biographer has stated she's a sceptic of the EU and would support leaving the EU.

We will never know for sure. But I would definitely not assume that the Queen supported remaining in the EU.


The queen is an old white Brit. She probably followed her age cohort and voted to leave.


Like many others, probably didn't realize it would result in the dissolution of the UK.

I am in England now and have been in 3 cities sense brexit listening to the locals in pups, there is not the uproar from the "common man" as the media would have you believe. Even those who voted yo stay seem to be taking a measured approach recognizing there will be market fluctuations that will eventually stabilize as will everything else over time. It has been interesting to observe the maturity with with those for and against have been interacting.

Well the good news is that once the zombies starve to death, EU forces can take back what's left of England.

This. There is a lot of spin going on. It will take time, but the UK and the rest of Europe will adjust.

But there won't be a "U.K." Scotland will definitely vote to split and Northern Ireland given the chance might also. Oddly, those latter two will be in the EU.

Not so odd, because if they vote for independence within 2 years they will technically never have left the EU in the first place.

Short lifetime. Also, how does the argument change? Scotland already determined they were better off staying. All the reasons then are the same now -- there's no new good reason for Scotland to leave the UK.

So England and Wales will be what's left of the old UK.

Uh, something changed -- Brexit. But, I don't think the UK will actually carry through with Brexit.
