This is another view of the protest that appeared in the previous shot. At this point it seems that the number of Leavers were starting to exceed the number of Remainers significantly. Which is pretty much the way the election played out, actually.
Before anyone accuses me of being a partisan of the Leavers or Boris, I can actually see both sides of that particular argument. I doubt that leaving is in Britain's long-term interest, but what concerns me more is that Brussels seems to have no understanding of why this result came about and why there are increasingly strident calls to leave in countries outside of France and Germany, much less any desire to reflect on that. I honestly have no idea whether the European Union will survive another decade. There are forces holding it together, and there are forces trying to pull it apart. If we undergo another economic collapse even of the magnitude of 2008 again I don't see any likelihood that there will be a European Union in the 2030's. The divide between the have members and the have not members will become too great an issue to be wallpapered over. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
