Worst thing was one of my neighbours voted out because he was certain the vote would end up being stay... Knob head
To be fair there was an immense amount of confidence in Danish and other European media that the UK would choose to stay, I think a lot of people were lulled into the sense that this was a pointless vote, that it was more of a gesture to say "Look, you actually have a choice!". The fact that it then turned out to be a huge surprise, is well, not really a surprise with hindsight. If you look at the UK as it is, it has a completely failing left wing that has abandoned all its core voters, you've got a populist right-wing party that knows it doesn't have to be held accountable, because it has little to no opposition. My theory is that a lot of people truly believe that politics are static, and so for a bit of craic they said, hell let's see if our voice actually matters - and so a lot of people voted in favour if leaving simply because it was _something else_ - variety is the spice of life? And I am assuming that a lot of old-timers in the left wing circles probably voted out for entirely different reasons, but that voice was squashed.
The issue is not really that the UK left the EU, the issue is that it was done in the most messy and unclear way, and that a huge proportion who wished to maintain certain values that the EU stood for were overruled. A huge reasoning behind that was a genuine lack of left wing debates in regards to Brexit, a lot of people went down the more liberal route and simply stood firm on their belief that it never should have happened, so when the vote went through their voice became negligible. Fighting for better leaving terms would have been a more noble cause than simply calling for a second referendum which they knew would be redundant. (Oh and if anyone wonders why I have such a personal vendetta against everything that went down, it's because they forced me to go down 1 and half year of useless paperwork to get my partner citizenship)
But anyways, bleh, politics! Ugh! I'm going to drill open all my cheap frames and make them serve as component mules! Viva la... revolution?
