The polls open in the UK in about 10 minutes. By this time tomorrow we shall learn that the UK has probably voted to remain in the EU – by a surprisingly large margin.
(Neither “leave” or “remain” fit my desires, since I would like to see the UK stay in the EU but I would like the EU to suffer a very bloody nose. A third alternative “remain with conditions” would have been my preference).
The Brexit campaign has been a boon for cartoonists and there have been many very good ones. (A simple Google search produces a huge number and the quality is pretty high).
My favourite is one by Alexander Dubovsky in Cartoon Movement because it matches my view of a dysfunctional EU with the UK threatening – with the risk of being overwhelmed – to leave a rudderless raft.

I can also relate to this cartoon. I too hope that the UK chooses to stay and hope to see considerable EU reform in the near future. But no matter what the context, I can’t help getting annoyed about the UK being called “England”. Grrrr. Is that unreasonable??

Yes, but the cartoonist is not from the UK and for most non-UK citizens, England is synonymous with the UK (much to the frustration of the Scots and the Welsh and the N Irish) In the former commonwealth countries (even Australia and S. Africa) it was and still is the “English Queen”. Outside the UK, Victoria was the English Queen rather than an Empress.
