It was 3 years ago.
Unpopular PM took the referendum for a majority not realising those extra MPs would campaign against him..... Which they did.
Next PM was actually just a fall person who did everything she could to lose the election, lose the decision, and just got in her own life boat.
Now the new captain has his sights at the iceberg. No going back now.
Spoiler:
the ship is the Tory party. Not the UK

The problem with that, is that not all lies are created equal.Brexit might lead to a period of prosperity for Britain, but there's just as much chance that it won't. And it certainly won't in the way they've been promising. Just because some politicians were arrogant enough to think the EU would allow them to have their cake and eat it too, doesn't absolve them of responsibility.
I'm just saying people sometimes comment in a way to imply one side is more informed than the other. It's not necessary, especially because it's not true.

I would argue that as it stands, one side is definitely more informed, as they know what remaining in the EU actually brings, whereas those that want to leave have a lot less certainty.

Britain wants us to be more involved in charity right. Like Princess Diana was.
Maybe if we all start to act like the richest nation on the face of the world we can start to earn our title.
Or will we choose our big stick to be something harmful.
A big charity stick is worth America's effort.

To be fair, "we're more informed than you, we're better, vote our way" could get plenty of people on the remain side.Point is, even if you believe one side is better...you're not gonna win anyone over by framing the argument that way.
For once we actually have a decent thread discussion here with jokes.
I wonder who's missing... hmmm
Bottom line is that majority of brits voted to leave. Sore losers can cry like little babies about "racism", the winning side being "misinformed", and the vote being "non-binding" all they like. It still won't change the fact you had an election and the people decided. Pretty sure the "leaves" didn't vote to leave the EU in name only but to actually... you know...LEAVE.
I guarantee you if the "remainers" had won any sore-loser talk about having a do- over vote would've been squashed immediately. Oh, and any talk about the vote being "non-binding" would've been squashed as well.
All of this whining from the losing side is just epic-level butthurt, nothing more. 👆

I would argue nah. No one side is better and people need to stop pretending otherwise as it is pointless.

Arrogance isn't a nice thing, no... But that doesn't somehow erase that the remain side have a better idea of how things will go than the leave side.
"They're as bad as each other" is a nice sentiment, but it falls kinda flat.
I mean, nobody on the remain side is as bad as Boris, to be fair.
