Yeah, the people have spoken and deserve to get what they voted for, but this is objectively terrible for the UK. Oh well.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard"

It is. And that's fine, it's how it should be, even if sometimes it sucks.

I'm so happy they are finally leaving.
It's like when you are married with someone and that things really don't go well and cannot improve, it's better to divorce and remain in good terms.
The UK has never liked being part of European integration, hesitating all the time. It's better for everyone that they leave rather than remaining and being unhappy.

De Gaulle was absolutely right when he vetoed the British candidacy to the EEC. It wasn't going to work for reasons of certain fundamental differences.

For the record, I do believe leaving the EU will have an adverse effect on the United Kingdom and I'm sorry for all of those who wanted to remain, but the UK in general was not interested in the project of European integration, but in having a seat at the table. It's been always a roadblock to the aspiration of most EU member countries in deepening the European project.

I agree completely. That's why I always thought the Norway model was the best for everyone involved. Remainers should have advocated for that instead of petulantly trying to overturn the results of the referendum. Maybe if they had, these elections would have turned out differently (or maybe not, who knows). Either way, the results of these elections have ruled out even that option.
