I would think, as things stand, more likely than not.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Very likely, unless people use Le Pencils.
People fearing for a world war....come on.
its because Im out and about around the world that i think this!
UK leaving EU is the most extreme political action I have witnessed in my life. Relatively speaking, it feels like the pre-step before an 'Ayatollah' moment like in Iran.
I am genuinely scared of European Right wining ideology: Recent history shows us how their beliefs play out.
The human race does not become wiser over the centuries. we read our actions and mistakes every generation. The people who witnessed and know about the 1st and 2nd world wars are all dead. Its all theory now.
Everyone wants and enjoys power. Its in the hands of the far right in the UK. The entire world woke up this morning and shuddered. Make of that what you will..
Have people come out of their Anderson shelters yet?
It is our only hope.
Cameron is resigning, why can't he just take on for the team and say feck it to Brexit.
People voted for the Conservatives based partly on that promise. A total of 52% of the UK electorate voted for pro-referendum/right-wing parties.
So you were born after Syrian civil war started? Or maybe after the fall of Yugoslavia?
British far right is dead as it should be. Give it a break and check back after a few days, things will stabilise.
Democracy offers no serious answers for giving votes to idiots and ignorants.
His back benches will defect to UKIP and the results of ensuing GE will be worst election outcome in europe since 1933 Germany.
Give it a few days, things might get worse.
How about an entrance exam. You need to score 50% or above before you can vote?
75% of young people voted Remain according to YouGov.
For the world's sake, I hope you remain dumber
What does this mean for Education in general? that's a large worry of mine.
I'm personally planning to undertake a Masters degree next year, £10,000 grants available for those who wish to do post-grad study I wonder if that will be slashed soon.
Really do not like the way this country is going.
Reforms into making schools academies, raising tuition fees to £9,000 per year of study now Brexit will really make research, grants difficult, will policies change?

Right, because a world war has never happened because of major economic problems in Europe before.

Jesus Christ some of the posts on the Caf, Facebook and Twitter with a blatant disregard for the democratic process.
It's ok. Just disappointed with today's outcome.
I've thought for awhile that this would be a great idea. An exam based on the issues. If you fail, you cannot vote.
Representative democracies, hell the Athenian democracy itself, were not established with universal suffrage FOR A REASON.
There is a difference in the Alabama literacy test and a test on the critical issues of the election/referendum.
You can almost guarantee that fees will go up.
This
And me really. Us leaving the EU could could cost me my job and or workers rights. Trump could lead the world to Nuclear Annihilation. After all Nuclear is the most important part of America's Nuclear Triad.
After yesterday though I cant trust the intelligence of the world populace.

Independent: Brexit result: What does it mean for the UK’s higher education sector and students?
Wow Just wow. Just reading the news at work. 2016--- what a year man.
It was meant as a joke. After all I'm on the side who is upset that we are trying to close our boarders. One of the ones who is ashamed at the hatred that caused the exit vote.
That's worse than secondhand smoke!
And me. I was only joking I'm more about the rights of the many than trying to push elitism.
Shouldn't post after drinking all afternoon. p'd off with the vote and P'd up. Not a good combination.
Why does everyone keep saying this? What else has happened?
How about weighting votes in relation to your average remaining life years?
It's a combination of
1. Higher education becoming more expensive and less valuable in terms of a job
2. Mass media increasingly reflecting the priorities of its owners and advertisers
because of which the poor will consistently self-harm in elections. Even so, it's worth pointing out that the strongest divide is by age.
Restricting voting would be a dream for the same forces that have created this mess.
Can't see any problems that would create, well done.
Wait do you get negative votes when you live past 80?
I envy you, I'm not nearly drunk enough to deal with it.Shouldn't post after drinking all afternoon. p'd off with the vote and P'd up. Not a good combination.
At least the vast majority of the oldies have put something in, work and/or money-wise.
Oh the test wasn't to see if they were intelligent enough just to make sure they agree with me
Add stupid to the front of that and I'd agree with him.
Fixed for you.
