The UK is voting on June 23rd on a referendum for staying in or leaving the European Union. I think it would be best for the UK if they left, but since I'm thankfully not British, I don't hold any strong opinions on how they ought to vote.

I don't trust the intentions of the White House towards the EU. I think the UK should leave.

Brits voting today.

Almost 50% of precincts reporting and the Leave vote is leading.

Well, looks like it won.

Not quite there yet. As of this post, 92.1% of the votes have been counted, and it's only just barely in favour of leave.

Now at 96.9% of votes counted and 51.7% in favour of leave, Brexit has secured the majority of the vote.

we fucking lost

aaand everything's falling apart. gj people.

Leave voter on BBC: "I'm shocked & worried. I voted Leave but didn't think my vote would count - I never thought it would actually happen."

June 24th will be remembered as the UK's Independence day.

Cameron to step down, dodged a bullet with EU army and Turkey joining the EU, and the EU will likely fall apart with one of their biggest member states leaving.

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN

It's an opportunity to abandon the EU's recent Americanized economics for an approach that actually works.

I'm actually staying in the UK right now, it seems to be a pretty unpopular decision with the people I've talked to.

Of course, someone who actually lived here would know much better.

There's a big gap between young and old with opinions on the EU, so you should expect that if you're not talking to a lot of old people.

It's a shame though, that old people are being called fascist Nazis who shouldn't be able to vote for something that will effect younger generations when their generation is famous for fighting Nazis and fascists specifically tbh.

Yeah this definitely matches up with what I've seen and heard.

The baby boomers didn't fight the Nazis.

How old are we talking here? When you talk about Nazis and fascists, I think of people born before 1925.

The turnout by age group goes up with age with the oldest voting more and more for Brexit. Boomers also voted mostly for Brexit but I wasn't talking about them.

I can't believe the UK is fucking dead

If Cameron's successor is even worse, then that may be true.
