[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised that they didn't have some kind of two-thirds majority rule built in for a significant change like this, but it is what it is.  Britain's exit will actually be easier than most other countries -- they kept their money out and never joined Schengen. [/quote]

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). [/quote]

Uninformed voters should not be allowed to vote.

While this would seem logical on the surface, in practice it's completely unreasonable. First of all, how do you define uninformed? Once you've defined it, how do you determine whether someone is uninformed? We can't even enforce ID card verification in the US without the Liberals crying racism and you think we will be able to put in place "informed voter" requirements?

Sure, some voters are uninformed, but what I do trust is that they will vote based on what matters to them the most in their lives. They may not have sophisticated understanding of the major issues, or have lost sight of the forest for the trees. But every one has the right to vote his/her conscience and no one can take that away from them. [/quote]
