Brexit Bungle

But I have a different question now. This is the Brits' vote, not ours. But is it just their problem?

Do you think Brexit, if it happens, will affect the U.S. much, or Anlgo-American relations?  Or is that just too far into the looking glass at this point?  I know some US corporations are moving their headquarters out of London on the assumption they can better access the EU market from, for example, Ireland.

If Hollo is out there I wouldn't mind hearing if, or how, he thinks Brexit might measurably affect the EU/Austria.

I definitely don't think this is just their problem. This will affect many countries, some in a positive way, some negatively.

I do see the point made. But then again - how is it undemocratic to do a referendum, no matter the circumstance. And now there IS more information, after all. The deal as it stands. No one could have had a total understanding about a yet non-existing Brexit deal back then.
 
- What about a referendum about having a second Brexit referendum. Would that be acceptable?

I don't think it's undemocratic, but I don't think it is something that should be done. The shifting winds of politics could result in referendums being constantly voted on, over and over. It's not a precedent that is good.
