The end of days may be upon us. The lamb with seven horns and seven eyes may well be about to break the seventh seal. There are rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment… At this time, a friend shall lose her friend’s lipstick and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before around eight o’clock but are gone in the morning.
We may or may not have voted for the end of the universe (Brexit) and America may or may not have elected a raving lunatic as POTUS. And many many people are very upset about that.
I REALLY DON'T CARE. REALLY. NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.
See, here's the thing. We live in what we refer to as a democracy. It's not what the ancient Greeks would recognise as a democracy. Their model simply wouldn't work for a population anything larger than a small town these days. Our democracy is what it is, and it isn't going to change anytime soon. If you have a problem with that, let me give you a hint: venting about results you disagree with the interwebs won't change anything. If you want change, be prepared to take to the streets with a pitchfork. But do remember the mess made by every so called revolution before you get carried away. (Syria started as a simple student protest)
So having said that, America has Trump and we have Brexit. Both are what our relevant democracies term 'the will of the people' according to the definition of that democracy. 'The will of the people' is the will of the people who turned out to vote on the day and not those who didn't vote. If you don't like the outcome, trying to convince people on a forum that they should have counted all those who really meant to vote the way you did, but didn't because they had a toothache, or were a bit busy that day is not going to change anything.
History is what happened not what you wanted to happen. It's a bastard like that.
So, at some point, we will leave Europe. Will it be better? I don't honestly know? But it will be what it will be. So unless you happen to be one of the Illuminati or a Bilderburger with and can shape world events, your posting on the web is just so much hot air.
About the only thing that will make a difference to the outcome is attitude; a positive national outlook will probably be reflected in market performance, exchange rates, balance of payments, inward investment and the relative performance of the UK vs EU negotiating teams which will influence the results for the better.
I do enjoy a good rant on a Sunday morning.
