If only there were people willing to move to your country from their current bad situation, so eager for citizenship they’d take on any job.. it’s almost an arrangement too good to be true

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoThat's not what people voted for in 2016.
- jlokier 5y agoBrexit as implemented isn't what most people voted for in 2016 either. Just ask them. Others have. The more common answer is some variation on "I didn't vote for this Brexit". Particularly entertaining are the business owners now going bankrupt who voted for Brexit, now saying "I didn't know this is what Brexit meant when I voted for it". I'd also argue that the fundamental, defining feature of democracy is that the people most immediately affected by an issue vote on the issue. So it's not democracy when the people most affected are not included in the vote. That's fake democracy, where the foxes vote who to have for dinner and the other animals don't get a say, but it's what we have, so here we are.
- GordonS 5y agoAnd one of my common responses is "well, this is the Brexit I voted against". Many of these consequences were completely predicable.
