To the various 'wise pundits' issuing doom scenarios for the future (15 years even!) of Britain after Brexit I would like to say it is a very wise man who knows what the hell Europe will look like even in two. Would you agree?

As I have said before, she will do or say anything to stay in power.
Although even if this is passed ... is she really in power?
A week is a long time in politics. Two years more so. But one can make general predictions and modify them according to how events unfold.
Ultimately we're all doomed. Doomed I tells you.
merkel mmm how she is still in power..god knows, single handedly destroyed europe and still ongoing, she basically runs europe or the germans do, with her at the helm, as for the future... i see civil unrest
with the right wing taking power in many eu countries, fed up populace.

I do agree, Khandro. I predict several years of turmoil.

This morning Martin Schulz was head of the SDP and thought he was going to be German finance minister calling his mad proposal for a united states of Europe and the shafting of the UK over Brexit, by this evening he has no position at all other than that an ordinary MP.
Aujourd'hui roi, demain rien.

For the non-Italian speakers it means, Today king, tomorrow nothing

The Chair; It's a sort of joke, but don't worry about it.
Prediction referring to "the future" is classified as abductive prediction. Quite different from both inductive and deductive prediction.
This right wing movement amongst the youth of Germany has gone largely unnoticed over here but is growing.

Togo; In the new orthodoxy anyone who wants to protect their borders is - you name it; 'Nazis, fascists, racists' etc. etc. but, you know what? I too want Europe's borders protecting, and I don't care what anyone calls me, and there are many more, the numbers are growing daily. It would be a great pity though if it has to be left to extremists to call all the shots before our politicians see the writing on the wall.
//. It would be a great pity though if it has to be left to extremists to call all the shots before our politicians see the writing on the wall. //

No Khandro....it would be a great pity if we had to become extremists before the politicians started to pay attention. Whilst ignoring the groundswell of opinion they express bemusement at recent results in elections and assume that more of the same will correct the anomaly. We are headed for violent confrontation on more than one issue unless the penny drops in the cloistered polito bubbles around the World.
Khandro, i agree, the politicians liberal lefties who live in a separate utopia to the rest of the populace...nice wage = i dont have to live like the plebs and the circles they move in, it's all rosey over champaign free flights and hotels best restaurants etc, people are sick to death
of being walked over...and paying for it, know your place cretin.
