Brexit: Should the UK stay or go?

UK will not be part of the Erasmus programme anymore though, so there will be no more scholarships and things will be a bit more difficult in general (red-tape wise etc).

We voted to stay with you guys under the assumption that we would stick together in both unions, now Little Englanders and lolWales have dragged us out of one of them. Talking about the Welsh, I can't believe its going to be *bleeping* them that have helped do us in to this extent.

Those *bleeping* fog eyed c****s. The EU was POURING money into their *bleeping* gullets. I wish a dragon actually DID occupy their *bleeping* land and torched it, because they're useless.

*Bleeping* Labour has already been blaming the SNP and Scotland for this, saying that we could have prevented it, someone needs to tell those buffoons how outnumbered we are by the *bleeping* English. We did our part, every single region in Scotland voted to remain, even the super eurosceptic one's like Dumfries ffs, Corbyn and his crew of planks cannot blame us for this mess.

I'm done with the UK now, during the Indyref I voted to stay in  even though my heart was telling me to vote leave, and now I'm regretting not listening. Sturgeon should just announce a unilateral declaration of independence because us leaving is just a formality at this point, no reason to drag it out.

Sorry if I offended anyone with my rant(except the Welsh, they can *bleep* off), but this shit is infuriating. Direct Democracy is an absolutely terrible idea when the voterbase is ignorant on the matter its voting on. There should never have been a referendum in the first place, Cameron is *bleeping* idiot for going through with it. With all the promises he's broken why did he not break this promise too? *bleeping* idiot.

Britain has voted for Brexit. What happens now? Nothing immediate, is the answer for EU nationals living in Britain and Britons living elsewhere in the EU, as well as for businesses on both sides of the Channel. It will all depend on negotiations that could take years—and no one is sure quite how many years, because the only precedent is Greenland, with a population today of around 50,000, which voted to leave in 1982. The first aim of David Cameron, the prime minister, will be to calm the markets. In Asia they have already responded to the news. The pound plunged by 9% against the dollar and as much as 13% against the yen, traditionally a bolthole for anxious investors. Japan’s main stockmarket tumbled by almost 8%. London’s stockmarket opens at 8am, and the FTSE 100 is likely to dive. Some experts warn that sterling could fall by as much as 20% overall. The chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, must now decide whether to issue an emergency “Brexit budget” as he controversially promised before the poll.

Mr Cameron has promised that Britain would immediately invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, which sets a two-year timetable to agree the terms of departure. But uncertainty about his own position could raise questions about this. If he steps down and a Brexiteer takes over as leader of the Tory party and as prime minister, he or she is likely to argue that Article 50 is biased against the interests of a country leaving the EU. Under Article 50, the terms of Britain’s departure would be agreed by the other 27 EU countries, without a British vote. So Brexiteers would prefer to negotiate informally, without invoking Article 50. The other 27 countries are unlikely to go for this.

The kind of deal offered is a longer-term question, with neither main option very palatable. The first is to become like Norway, which is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), in return for which it is required to contribute to the EU’s budget and allow the free movement of people. The second is to opt out entirely, trading with the EU under the rules of the World Trade Organisation like America, China or any other country. Most economists agree that this would do more damage to the British economy.

It will be hard for Mr Cameron himself to continue, though he may decide to remain prime minister over the summer in order to smooth the transition to a new Tory leader. The candidates for that post will be revving up their engines: Boris Johnson, a former mayor of London, triumphant from the Leave victory; the chancellor, George Osborne, perhaps too wounded by his attachment to the Remain side; and compromise candidates such as Theresa May, the home secretary, who made herself scarce during the campaign. The next leader will have to deal with a deeply divided party and with a Parliament whose MPs mostly supported Remain, and some of whom may want to block approval of full economic secession. Mr Cameron hoped his referendum would settle the question of Europe within the Conservative Party once and for all. It has done the opposite, and the storm is only just beginning.

Truly is an end of the UK
