Hopefully this starts a chain reaction in the EU. Countries like France, Austria and the Netherlands would all be reasonably likely to leave if given a chance. There are probably others too.

Hold on, hold on!! There's a line here, mister, and Scandinavia is way ahead of France and Austria! I'd bet that Finland, Denmark and Netherlands are the most likely candidates now.

Let them dominos fall!!



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

it was a close one but austria just voted for a clearly left leaning pro eu head of state against a clearly right leaning eu skeptic, even though the migrant flux went straight through them, so i'd say count them out.

Alright, today's the day that will determine the future of Britain. It's still a tight battle, with the majority currently leaning to leave.

Some key questions:

1) What do you think about the overall situation?

2) Do you think Britain should stay or leave?

3) Did you participate in Taco Bell's free taco promotion that occurred on June 21st?

 


Personally, I think Britain leaving will cause a chain of other countries to break away from the EU as well.  Hopefully Britain will improve if they declare independence.  Also wish best of luck to all Britains here. This generation will feel its impact the most.

 

You might wanna update your thread title. Britain hasn't left the EU and won't be able to for another 2 years of negotiation. And it's still up to parliament to decide if it comes to that.

Oh, nice eye. I should correct that right away

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

EU should force them out immediately. It'd be hilarious. 

Yes, the EU should kick one of the pillars of the Union that has been essential is keeping the poor countries afloat. I'm sure that's what's going to happen.

Technically it's the UK kicking out itself. So if they decide to go on with this delirium the EU has all the rights to force the process and make it fast. It seems they are already fighting about who will take the European Banking Authority that will leave London City. 

But let's no worry! We are more than ready to welcome back with open arms the fellow Scots and Northern Irish!

And? People shouldn't be using that as proof. 

Why? Becuase of the 'small' poll number? I'm guessing both sides of this election used polls and numbers lower than that for their statistics. Just making the point that 1000 is a standard number for polls (as apatheticly as possible). 100,000 people, 100 people as long as the poll is fair and a good sample diversity it can be taken as a valid portrayal of paterns. Take 1000 people poll from a university campus only or a retirement homes only, it won't be a fair sample.



Hmm, pie.

What the http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-referendum-results-londoners-call-for-capital-to-become-independent-state-after-brexit-vote-a3279801.html
How would that even work, a city with no resources of its own.

London has one massive advantage, it's the financial capital of the world, almost every business and investor transaction takes place or goes through London, as a result it generates the main bulk of the money for the UK so as an independent state it would be better off than the rest of the country. London remaining in EU's alliance would mean business goes on as normal.

I was thinking about the logistics of having border crossings all around London and the amount of food going in and waste coming out. I guess London can negotiate to own the Thames to assure free flow of goods by boat. Business might go on as usual, but those 9 million people still got to eat etc. The amount of trade deals that would involve.

I believe it would be wiser from both parties to re-negotiate the migration part and let the people re-vote after 6 months or so, the difference of 2% is just too small to be decisive

An online petition has gone up for a revote due to the small margin.

‘We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum’ - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/brexit-petition-for-second-eu-referendum-so-popular-the-government-sites-crashing-a7099996.html

100,000 gets it a debate in Parliament. As I type this, it is at 395,084, and increasing by about 1,000 votes a minute.

So where is that market collapse that project fear warned us about? Britisch Pond is already recovering and all i see is this:

London -3%
Frankfurt -8%
Paris -8%
Milan -12%
Madrid -12%

Looks like Brexit is hurting other markets more than Britain itself.

We're still part of the EU, we won't officially be out until the declaration is sign, Johnsons says that's in 2 years although the EU may push for it to happen earlier, the day we're officially go watch the markets for a few weeks to see what people meant.

Looks like the fearing mongering and sensationalist headlines are working.
