That is why you don't leave complex political decision in the hand of a simplistic Yes/No plebiscite. Britain is such a mess right now and it is 100% self inflicted. I will be enjoying the popcorn.
Na, its why you do not let kids vote, that seems to be an ongoing issue. If you need too check with a parent, you're too young to vote.
