Well, not just no, a crushing no.
No reason to recap, plenty of places for that, but a massive turnout and a good crushing ten percent margin, despite universal political elite support is fairly convincing.
Sadly the leftist nitwits are spinning this as an anti-liberal thing, which in some part it was, but want to ride the "social Europe" (read sclerotic dysfunctional economic model) into the sunset. Sunset in this case being a terminally declining Europe.
Regardless, the train has stopped and there is now a chance that reflection rather than blind full speed aheadness will have a moment. For the Europeans whinging on about Europe being set back ten years, I say this "Europe was just spared a nasty derailment."
A pause for digestion in a long term project is not, let me repeat, not a disaster, it is wisdom.
Prattling on about no plan b and rerunning referendums until the right result is had is disaster.
