It sounds like the cart was before the horse with that referendum - many people didn't understand the racial/social consequences until after the vote. In a radio interview I heard one young woman say that she didn't think her vote would count, so on a whim she voted "exit," but that wasn't what she really wanted. Does she get a do-over? Is it time to pull up her big girl socks and live with the consequences, or will enough people finally realize they didn't take it seriously and ask for a new vote? Referendums are a way to learn the public opinion but it could become a huge see-saw tipping first one way, then the other, depending on passion vs fatigue with the topic. And if they are binding or not. Britain's younger people just learned a difficult lesson - if you don't vote, you lose.

Get your popcorn and settle in to watch, there are going to be some interesting political histrionics on the world stage.
