I admit I still don't understand the Brexit thing, or at least I don't understand the way it's been unwinding...
If public sentiment really was so closely split on whether they should stay in the EU, then there's clearly some kind of reconciliation required. But apparently, since there has been A VOTE to exit the EU, that means there must be a complete exit from the EU, no matter what the organizational and economic and even cultural wreckage it creates?? Why don't the people in charge just say "wait, that vote was fucked up, let's stay in the EU but renegotiate a bunch of our membership conditions to satisfy the objections raised earlier...?
