How does that explain the fact that they've just done what UKIP told them to do?

How does the fact that UKIP also wanted this result mean that they were the only people that were listened to?

There are an awful lot of politicians, business men and other 'experts' (atleast that's what they were called if they were in support of remain) who put forward a good case for leave, could it be that people were listening to their argument rather than UKIP? Or does that not fit your narrative?
 
Scotland leaving us would be the best solution to this mess.

It would give people and companies an easy option to restore the benefits they have lost.

Scotland needs to sell itself as the easy escape route.

They weren't the only people that were listened to, but they were the loudest and it was their narrative that carried the Leave movement.

The overwhelming number of experts voted 'Remain', including just about every economist in the country.

I never saw a good case for Leave from any experts. It always came down to 'Herp derp, keep out the darkies and the Eastern Europeans, once we're out of the EU we won't need to accept asylum seekers any more.'
 
The respect they deserve for being a selfish group looking out for their own interests, and screwing over the following generations?

They're the only generation with first hand experience of not living in the EU, I think we should trust them more than a fresh faced bunch of graduates with no experience of the world and a bunch of businesses who benefit hugely from a large pool of unskilled cheap labour and government hand outs to support that cheap labour.
 
It doesn't matter, the common man has spoken, as the political class allowed him to speak.
He said it is time to leave and face the unknown, and now we deal with the unknown.
The promises made thus far have been suggested to be false, but that does not matter, th often lie on manifesto.
What remains to be seen is just what agreements are in place in 2020, and just what it means for us.

What really is to be seen, is if outward investment and internal investment in the uk go ahead now, that will determine the depth of job losses, and depth of recession we may face.

Although I thought that the statistics places the leavers in the low educated, lower socio-economic groups that likely haven't see the outside of their own towns... I'm not sure the 'older is wiser' argument stands in this context.

So you saw what you wanted to see to let you belittle anyone who doesn't agree with you then.

Although an indyref2 is a certainty a vote to leave certainly is not.

The currency question and all the other issues from the last time have to be addressed. With the background of a much lower oil price.

Also the timing is critical. If it takes too long and it is shown that the UK can be successful outside the EU the vote would be to stay.
