[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51308833]Yes in fact this would probably be called a mistrial and there is no double jeopardy then Yea... stay classy[/QUOTE] it's almost like a) this was a shitty metaphor to begin with (like i said), and b) i'm a person who clearly isn't 100% clued up on legal terms, procedure, and methodology? imagine that. crazy. your reply [I]definitely[/I] added to this discussion. thanks for that man

I never followed brexit very closely, but if I'm reading this right, brexit vote won primarily because a good deal of people who wouldve been remain votes just couldn't be bothered to go vote. lol

But it's fucking hard to get the youth to vote for a variety of reasons. And even knowing this, the referendum had the largest youth turnout for a long time if I recall. We're just really really bad at actually getting the youth out there and voting. At least I did my bit.

[QUOTE=Roger Waters;51307402]all brexit has done is successfully derailed absolutely every other important part of politics for the forseeable future in the name of some bollocks that, if it goes through, will just continue the entropic decline of quality-of-life in this country. and if it fails it'll probably all go to shit anyway as the EU will sanction us or some bollocks. no matter what voting yes to leaving has turned the key and now there's nothing to be done except burn to death in a methane gas fire like we're trapped inside a great big pipe full of poo and farts and there's no way out except succumbing to the flames or submerging our heads in the great lake of liquid, steaming shite that we're paddling in. poke your head above the surface and have your eyebrows lashed off by smoldering farts, or submerge yourself again and turn blue under the surface of shit. damned and damned. [editline]4th November 2016[/editline] realtalk brexit is a betrayal of both sides because das politiken cannot even begin to have balls for either side of the decision, and so all they're going to do is waffle back and forth because they follow the money. the money isn't on either side, no matter what they do they're gonna lose something somwhere, so all they can do is waffle back and forth, trembling like a tit on a tightrope[/QUOTE] Jesus dude that metaphor got really weird really quick.

If a few hundred extra Floridian Gore supporters had gone to the polls in 2000, we might live a very different world right now

They're going to be so fucking butthurt for the next 20 years. I can't wait until more pressing issues bury this in the news.

It's not like on other elections and votes where the margin is large enough you can tell the losers to shut up.
