"You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you don't understand what you're voting for. The idea that everyone should get a say just because they live here is dumb. I live here but they don't let me drive F1 cars because I'm unqualified. If people don't understand what the political choices they make can achieve then why should they get a say?"
I'm saying that people have been in such a bad position for years they want change and they don't care where it comes from so long as something happens.
Do you expect people in a worse position than yourself to just accept it? Do they not get a vote because thier education was different or not as good as yours? Is thier life experience not valid because they were not brought up to worry about politics or global trade?
No they just want to get up, do thier repetitive job, get paid, go pub and go home. If your packing a kiln full of plates then you don't concern yourself with the European Market or affairs, you dont worry about an extra couple quid on a holiday you might get to go on once every 5 years and will be paying for on credit for 2 of them.... but you do concern yourself when you go to the break room and only half the people speak the same language as you do, you do concern yourself when your on the same wage as 10yrs ago because the company can keep hiring in people who will work for less and you do concern yourself when you can not pay your bills, you go to the local town and every one in cardboard boxs and doorways is English speaking young and able workers and when you walk out of town you constantly see Eastern Europeans setting up in council housing. That is why the vote was to leave, not through rational thoughts but through emotion of a shit existence.
That is why stoke on trent and similar places had a majority leave, its because the people have been deprived for so long they see people in suits as the enemy, the ones making a fortune off thier hard work. They see bankers and CEOs as the people making thier life worse, taking profits while they stagnate and gradually afford less and less.
The whole point of my argument, there will have been a lot of people that voted to leave because of the political lies, but do you honestly believe anything a career politician says? I certainly don't, but there will have been a vast amount of people who didn't even consider the policy's, they just want change and that's a way to get it or at least something different.
This goes back to my point of why trump was voted in, why the national parties are gaining momentum..... hell, its even why the Natzis got into Germany all those years ago.
And this is my point to why we should try to find a positive in what has been done, it can't be changed.
