That all started because the majority were right handed. So if you were Sir Lancelot riding along the road and you met the Black Knight coming at you, you would want your sword hand toward your enemy. They just never saw any reason to change, it is quite easy to get used to having driven there I know.
In fact they thought being left handed was very bad and to this dal doctors still use the word sinister to mean left.
Of course since each side of the body is controlled by the opposite hemisphere of the brain left handed people claim to be the only ones in their right mind.

Stealth racist vote. The 2% flipped between the day-of poll and the results is people intending to vote exit, but lying to the polsters. Due to being ashamed of the reason.
Seen this pattern often enough in the US.

Cameron will be replaced by an even more blazing Tory git, so no gain there.

Large section of the British public told the faraway bureaucrats to fuck off.
This they did despite being intimidated by the "Russians are coming" and the manipulated polls with falling value of the pound.
What they knew was that the Poles and Lithuanians had come in huge numbers since 2004, Romanians and Bulgarians are coming, other Balkans were coming and geeze! the Ukrainings and Turks were knocking.
They had seen new people enjoying benefits that they had not contributed to in any way or form and told Cameron that they do not like this shit.
They had also seen how the influx of Poles and Lithuanians depressed wages.
Well of course this was of no concern to the pen pushers in Brussels and London.
The pen pushers went to bed last night confident. Lo and behold they did not realize that their confidence was base on manipulated polls designed to discourage "leaving voters".

So you don't want anyone moving anywhere.

And they will now be punished severely, with a sick economy and a Tory gvt. that will love to have it as an excuse to slash benefits and worker protections, with no EU to say them nay.

What you do not realize is that Europeans are afraid of cheap European workers.
The Dutch recently snubbed the Ukrainians.

The European Central Bank is in Brussels but The City of London is where all the business is currently being done. If there is a shift away from London to, say, Frankfurt, that's when the Brits will come to realize the magnitude of their mistake.

There's an idea out that London should declare independence and rejoin the EU, to prevent this among other things. Worked for Singapore. Leaving the leavers should be OK, shouldn't it?
