LONDON | Protesters flock to London to back new vote on Brexit

LONDON — Thousands of protesters gathered in central London on Saturday to call for a new referendum on Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Organizers want the public to have a final say on the government’s Brexit deal with the EU, arguing that new facts have come to light about the costs and complexity of Britain’s exit from the bloc since Britons voted to leave in 2016.

‘BREXIT’ MOVE TIPS SCALE IN GCC’S FAVOR: REPORT The UK’s impending historic withdrawal from the European Union (EU) is opening new opportunities for advancing the position of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as an economic powerhouse, casting the spotlight on the strong bilateral trade ties between the GCC region and the European island nation, according to a new report titled ‘UK’s EU Referendum: Why ‘Brexit’ Matters to the GCC.’

Ką britų referendumas reiškia Anglijai ir Europai?

Ką britų referendumas reiškia Anglijai ir Europai?

„Brexit“ – tai britų išėjimo (angl. British exit) trumpinys, nurodantis, kad britų surengtame referendume 2016 m. birželio 23 dieną balsų persvara buvo išreikštas britų pageidavimas išstoti iš Europos Sąjungos. Įdomu tai, kad jokia kita valstybė dar nebuvo išstojusi iš ES iki šiol. Referendumas sukėlė sąmyšį pasaulinėse rinkose, tarp jų – valiutų rinkoje, – Didžiosios Britanijos svaro vertė…

Mr. Brexit

“SOON THEY WILL BE CALLING ME MR. BREXIT” -Donald Trump [1]

This tweet reveals a lot about the endgame strategy from the Trump campaign. Looking back to Brexit, it was a horribly unpopular opinion early on in the referendum. It was seen by some as associated with isolationist nationalists, racists, or the uneducated masses. But it was supported by many major party leaders of the conservative party after public opinion began to shift slightly towards sympathy with The Exit, tying them to the alt-right movement that has been growing in the past eight years in the UK. In the final weeks before the vote, there was a heavy blitz of supporters, publicity, speeches and more that generated a deafening roar of news coverage. The poling in the UK is traditionally pretty inaccurate, and this election was no different. The news had nowhere to pull from but the shotty polls or the public outcry for Exit that was going on in the final weeks. This, I believe, is what tipped the scales ever so slightly over the 50% mark at the end.

But how did Exit even get that far? And how did the protests against the EU develop and reach so many people?

This proof of concept is a hand reaching out for someone to help me research this.

The British Exit - Sovereignty and Safety

One way we can look at the behind the scenes of the Brexit movement is looking at the officials in the aftermath. Many resigned or redacted support directly after Brexit won. This is in part because people didn’t know the magnitude of the economic backlash that would occur from the decision, or the instant stalemate between the UK and the EU in regards to exit negotiations.

I think that this may point to The Appeal to Pity [citation], a logical fallacy that shows itself mostly in large public opinion shifts towards ultimately destructive ends because the issue at hand is the underdog. Exit was the underdog, but after the multitude of sexual assault statistics came out, and after the heavy language about sovereignty were pushed right at the end when the media was attempting to make sense of the noise the votes were cast in confusion. And when the mind makes decisions in confusion, it will choose the option that it has heard the most about. [2]

Now what does this have to do with the US Presidential election? As Trump pulls more and more support from the Republican party, and manages to moderate himself more and more, his underdog status may push him over the edge at the right time. The dangerous thing about The Appeal to Pity is that it cycles in opinion. If you look at the Aggregate Polls from right after the GOP Convention, Trump gets 50.1% but only a day after begins to fall rapidly in the weeks following. Trump's recent speeches are moving him closer and closer towards the middle while Hillary continues to move a bit more left. The trend in the polls is towards 50 - 50. Now, Hillary is still significantly up in the polls. But for who Trump is, She should be much much further ahead of him. I predict a continuation of this roller coaster polls world. And I would even bet for Trump to win at 1:4 odds. Even though a candidate who was ahead in the polls at this point in the race hasn’t lost since the forties, I think it’s definitely possible for Trump to root his own underdog status so firmly in the ground that he can get just ever so slightly over the finish line.
