5. I don't think the UK is that fucked. Yet.

The numbers I'm seeing indicate that more people voted for pro-Remain parties (LD, Green, SNP, PC Change etc) than voted for pro-Leave (Brexit, UKIP).

The two main parties have no idea what to do regarding Brexit. Labour have no clear stance. The Conservatives want to leave but are divided on how much leave there should be (hard Brexit, Brexit in name only, etc).

I'm hoping that there will be a new referendum and there will be a clear "Bollocks to Brexit" message given.

On the plus side... T_i_B May 2019 #1

On the bright side, the Lib Dem+Green+Change UK vote is almost as much as Brexit+UKIP muriel_volestrangler May 2019 #3
