Brexit

I've been following this pretty closely on the Guardian web site (it barely rates a mention in the Canadian press, except in business sections where it receives a lot of attention). My sympathies lie with the Remain crowd, I agree with whoever said they have largely botched making their case before the British public -- I blame Cameron and other Cons, though Corbyn has been pretty lukewarm.

Having said that, I have no idea what the long-term fallout would be from a brexit, it seems like it would be damaging to the EU itself which is already under considerable stress, due to rising nationalism and xenophobia among many constituent countries. And I think Britain would find itself cut off from a huge, important market at least for a while, which will likely be very, very damaging to its economy. I can see many head offices of large corporations (including our main client) there relocating tout suite. And then there's the Scotland thing.

Really hope it doesn't happen. :-&

Phone polling is generally more optimistic and seen as a more reliable indicator, but lots of pre-election polls were way off last GE so who knows. It's certainly a nail-biter, you're right there.

I voted Stay a couple of weeks ago. I have very little idea what most of the points made by either side were (it takes ages for the carrier pigeons to get over here), I just can't see how splitting up into smaller and smaller units can be helpful in any way. Also, I'm not sure I can complain about immigration when I'm living in another country.

We can only hope.
