Funny how the media is all doom and gloom, but then when I read the comments section, people are optimistic about it.

That's what I usually see too. It says a lot as to how biased the media really is.

It's a good first step, and it will be fun to see the media wets themselves over this, as usual.

Of course, there's the radical Islam problem that England has plus other degeneracy like in Rotherham. Until that's addressed, Brexit could be a semi-Pyrrhic Victory at best.

It'll be a bit easier to deal with radical Islam now that Merkel won't get her way with them.

The screams you hear over both Brexit and Trump are the sounds of a million gravy trains derailing.

They can rant and scream about holding endless referenda all they want - at the end of the day, the EU itself has explicitly announced that it has recognised Britain's intention to leave and wishes that intention to be formalised.

except for Cameron, who resigned right after

I respect Cameron for falling on his sword after having backed the losing horse; I would have respected him more had he first promised to at least begin the process of invoking Article 50.

The younger, liberal voters suggested having more and more referendums until they get the result they wantSadly, "liberal" is a misnomer for them. So is any noun or adjective that suggests the possession of any shred of common sense. There can be no further referenda - the EU wants you gone ( ... )

Usually a PM resigns after a major setback (according to one of my friends who watches UK politics more). Cameron, despite being more conservative, wanted the UK to stay. He voiced his opinion, lost, but bowed out respecting his constituents' decision.

Scotland already voted no in 2014 but given that they chose to stay in the EU, their opinion might change.

One of the finest hours for the Britons. And it was a moment where some politicians actually sounded like statesmen. Farage, Hannan, and perhaps others I overlooked, seemed to meet the Platonic ideal of a statesman when debating for "leave".

With Farage finished with his lifelong goal in the UK, I wouldn't mind coaxing him into a leadership role here. We have a few important positions open to foreigners, after all, and I'm all for adopting the talents grown elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Sounds like a great idea once Obama leaves office!
