Probably a little fucked up.
I hope it leads to another Renaissance though.

The EU is dead - the only question is how much damage will be wrought while the unelected masters of the EU try to prop up the ship. The concept of European unity is not dead, just the organizational structure of the EU, now that the people have discovered it is a sham. This was all discussed during the Lisbon Treaty fracas of 2007/2008, but it was shoved down the people's throat regardless of their opposition.

This.
The reality is that these Exit votes will be tampered with. There will be the classic model of saying the sides are neck and neck right up to the date. Then the Stay side will win by some safe but totally fraudulent margin.
The real question is if the people of these nations have the courage to act when this happens.
That's when you'll start seeing damage being done.

The EU only dies if they let it. Hence the propaganda machine in full swing, most likely followed up by the vote fraud.
Then again, this is the EU. They may simply disallow the results and require it be redone if they don't like the outcome.

European people have a long history of effectively objecting to their governments.

IF it happens. Unlikely it shall. The UK is insanely corrupt.

Interesting if a domino effect were to occur. Having seen the blatant media and government manipulation during the Scottish independence campaign, I don't see much hope for Brexit. Either way the EU can't continue in current form much longer.

How serious are the chances of a Brexit? How serious are the chances that voter manipulation can tip those chance? I've been loosely following this, but I always thought this was like a Sanders nomination deal. Popular with a large crowd, but not enough so to make it.

I really hope Leave wins, but we all know the left will "magically" find enough postal votes to hand Stay the victory regardless of the actual results.

GOOD!
Forcing people to do anything will always have a price.

Brexit, the first to leave a sinking ship.
