The Brexit Votes Have it: The U.K. Is Leaving The E.U.

[theboyfromxtown]

What annoys me is when people say that Britain voted to leave the EU.

No, it did not. Only England and Wales voted to leave, whereas Scotland and Northern Ireland most definitely voted to remain. The fact that prior to the referendum, nobody considered the implications of such a result speaks volumes about the inadequacy of our current brand of politicians.

Someone pointed this out to be the other day. I have lost that reference but here is another one

Britain = England and Wales
Great Britain = England Wales and Scotland

So I guess that it would be true to say Britain did in fact vote to leave the UK!

It's been so long that I did geography that I'd forgotten these differences.

If you include Northern Ireland, then it was a two-all draw.
