The turkeys voted for Christmas I have lost faith in the intelligence of the British electorate.

As a foreigner, I wouldn't dare to comment on that.... More likely it's a feeling of being left in the lurch by "the powers that be", as I see it. I just read an article about that subject, written by one Thomas G. Clark on anotherangryvoice (click the link to read his original post)

Hi

I voted to leave, a decision on my part, the EU and the way it was going was simply not for me.

I have no ill feelings towards those who choose to stay in the EU at all.

I certainly would not wish to see it's demise.

It was just not for me.

I am not stupid, I knew leaving would cost us money.

I am not a Xenophobe either, I have EU Citizens in my house on a regular basis.

I also undertake work for the Government of an EU Member State.

What I do not like, and would also object to here in the UK, is Juncker and Co.

They wield far too much power.

If it was not for that, I would have voted to Remain.

I could not do so , Democracy is everything to me.

I will not and cannot be dictated to by 3 or 4 unelected prats.

Juncker was the leader of Luxembourg, the biggest Tax Haven in the EU.

I have no time for the man at all.

In other words, you'd prefer to have the EU reformed into what it once was: the EEC.

I agree with you.
