WOW - Brexit fucking wins -- the results of decades of neoliberal economics, income inequality, negative effects of Climate Change and the blow back from this fucking endless stupid War on Terrorism and the resulting anti--immigrant/refugee calamity.
This beginning of provincialism/balkanizing of maybe first Great Britain and then maybe mainland Europe is not good @ all for trying to solve global issues -- and it might spell bad things for the US election in the fall -- xenophobia, isolationism is never good.
So to my American friends -- if you don't know about this UK election -- get your head out of your ass and read up on it.
And what's amazing, though, is regardless of the result, the voting process there was how democracy is supposed to look like -- high voter turnout, no major pre-election and exit polling to skew the results.
Also what is amazing is that the polls didn't close until 10 PM, and the votes were all hand counted through the night, with the news media and policy wonks up all night to report on the results.
It makes the US voting process look like a big pile of stinking Koch monied and influenced piece of shit.
