"Brexit" is a stupid loving word, I won't use it.

Personally, I hope they do vote to leave. Just to rub salt in the wounds of the dumbass Scottish who squandered their chance to get off that sinking ship.

A "Chunnel" is a tunnel that goes under a channel. The British smushed the words together because they're awful garbage people.

They should leave the EU and the English speaking world can just create a single government letting all other nations know that any act against us by them or their people will end with us glassing everything in their borders, and then to prove me mean business blast "Rule Brittania" across all signal/radio channels while we carpet bomb a random county's entire capital in to nothing but a parking lot over the course of 15 minutes.

Yeah, Scotland held a vote on whether or not they were going to be a different country. England was all like, "don't leave, you're too stupid to govern yourselves, you retarded children. if you stay in, we'll give you more self-control, and cool stuff like ponies", and the dull-eyed Scottsih said, ok and voted to stay English. Then the English, said, "lol, no, you ain't getting poo poo".

the uk will probably vote to leave the EU, against our own interests and fuelled purely by cheap, misguided nationalism, as part of the ongoing breakup of large international organisations in favour of large multinational corporations. i look forward to working for Maas biolabs

UK should defiantly leave the despotic EU. i have been hearing rumors that the germans really want to form an EU army, you know so that they can take italians to quell riots in france or whatever just like the old roman empire (as national armies might not what to oppress their own people).

the ones that want to leave have been talking about starting up a union with other commonwealth nations to substitute the EU. i think thats a fantastic idea, lets have world English Empire or Canada/US/UK/Australia. it would be much better and more powerful than that smelly EU!

The thing the filthy Europeans don't understand is that if you want to be a world power by joining all these disparate states together then you have to be a citizen of the EU first and German/French/British second. You'll see East/West coast rivalries and New Yorker's and Texans bickering about whose state and policies are better but we're Americans first and foremost. You can't just vote to leave your union when times are bad, like yeah the American South takes more from the federal funding bucket than it will ever put in, and removing them from the US would probably save a lot of money on infrastructure/welfare programs but we didn't just let them walk out on the union in 1860/1861 and we won't didn't vote to force them out when the recession hit.

It's almost as if trying to take a bunch of different peoples with different customs and different languages who've been warring on and off for two thousand years and lumping them together into a "union" is an idea that probably won't work.

I like to ride the train in the chunnel, CHOO CHOO!

3rd longest railway tunnel in the world (2nd until recently), and the train goes really fast....like 186MPH. But it's reduced to 100MPH in the tunnel so we don't wake up the fishes.

The European Union is not comparable to the United States, is not intended to be, and most people do not want it to be. All these disparate states are not being joined together.

A strictly defensive European military alliance would be a good thing because then we could have mutual defense without also having to be part of American empire-building.

yes it is a good idea to give a monolithic corrupt bureaucracy (that has no democratic accountability) an army!

maybe if the EU had a real parliament and elections, and was you know a proper nation it would make sense. but i have big problems giving an army to an organization that is as transparent and accountable as the Chinese Communist Party
