This is probably just an immediate effect. Things should balance themselves out soon enough.

The actual split is due to take 2 years before becoming fully effective. If some side doesn't chicken out or fuck up before then.

2 years from now when it goes into effect.... theres sure to be a negative impact for the UK.

Until then meh.... probably wont have much effect.
Eventually the UK will recover.
Unless this causes scottland/ireland to want independance from the UK.... that could probably have some sorta effect too.

Scotland will most likely leave for sure this time, the last time was close, but this actually adds fuel to that fire. 



 

Someone asks:
"Vote leave has either lied or misled voters. IF there is no negotiated exit deal within 2 years of triggering of article 50, the UK is out, period. No deal applies. Membership ceases and UK rights under the treaties simply do not apply anymore. This is so UNLESS all 28 unanimously agree to extend the negotiation deadline. Now, someone tell me: who has got leverage here? The UK? I don't think so.

Something tells me Boris had not been made aware of this little detail. Of course, neither had any voters either. He has told you of course "they will want to deal" , but fact is - the irony - that he has no control over this process and that time plays against the UK. No wonder he is now looking worried and playing for time."


Another answers:
"It is an unusually clear piece of officialese. The two year limitation except by agreement of all members is why we have seen suggestions that Article 50 should not be triggered until as late as the end of 2017"


Someone asks:
"I see, and in the meantime you surely expect that everyone else will be ok with the UK taking their seat at the Council of Ministers and participating in decision-making as usual, right? On matters that will have effect after the UK leaves, right? "

 

------------------

Sharing an interesting conversation I read somewhere else. Are we really sure the UK will not be affected until two years from now?

Also:

Marcus Weber and Joseph Daul, who head up the European People's Party - the parliament's largest group - said: "There cannot be any special treatment for the United Kingdom. The British people have expressed their wish to leave the EU. Leave means leave. The times of cherry-picking are over.”

"The EU cannot be taken hostage by a Tory leadership wrangle. We need an article 50 notification now." Guy Verhofstadt

It's kind of ironic though that Scotland would want independence from the UK to then give that independence away by trying to join the EU potentially resulting in less actual say in their own matters than they had as part of the UK. Puzzles me at times, Why can't everyone just be one big family and stay united.

It will probably help rich people who will be able to invest into the country, but the poor are probably going to get screwed.

Pretty much, I want the entire UK to stay together along with staying in the EU as I said one big family staying United but obviously that is in doubt now.

You either vote to stay in the UK and the EU or you vote to leave both the UK and EU, Not vote to leave one and join the other.



Everything we have seen so far has been a reaction to the prospect of leaving the EU. It says nothing about what will happen after the UK finds its new plateau in about three years.

Besides, its not exactly unanimous among economists what is going to happen and many of the more politicized forecasts have been pretty flawed.
