Forums - Politics Discussion - Brexit discussion thread- UPDATE: the majority chose leave!

 

Should Britain stay or leave?

Stay! 185 48.43%
 
Leave! 197 51.57%
 
Total:382

Now i am for giving voters what they vote for even if i disagree with it but i would like to say that you are all aware that is a chance you all who voted to leave may have just caused the beginning of a financial crash?

I think it is cool that Britain left the EU. I wish USA would leave NAFTA and say no to the TPP. They always sell globalization trade deals as creating jobs but the only thing I see is corporations going to the cheapest labor (Mexico and Asia) or biggest tax breaks. All for the almighty dollar. I'm glad to see England break away and govern themselves.

short term falls are cause by an unexpected event. Things will normalize.

The is a big loss for socialism!

lol ... what, the UK economy is basically socialist by American standards. 

This just means England (probably no UK in the long run as Scotland is likely to bounce) will become kind of a niche worldwide player now ... what do they even make? 

Range Rovers and fish and chips? They are economically not a big player globally going forward. 

The UK has the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world, hardly niche. South Korea and Japan do pretty well without having an organization making rules for them. They would be smart to expand economic ties with the commonwealth members and the US. 

Will be bad for UK short term, but long term it will be very positive. 

Scotland could bounce. It would be stupid for them. Especially if they do it to fall under EU. If Scotland is smart they will sit tight to see how this plays out. If things go south vote to get out and run to EU. 



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Europe has become brainwashed by the far left. Sorry mate.

 

Hopefully this knocks some sense into more people.

My British citizenship is now worthless

I know, but without the UK we are helpless against the leftists. Poland and Hungary can't possibly balance what Germany does together with Benelux and France. My God...



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

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Curious, but what country do you live in?


Also, I find it disappointing how many European nations are against guns. Never thought people would have such a big issue with protecting themselves. I wonder if crime and rape rates would decrease if guns were more tolerable in Europe.

I hope that Centeral and Eastern Europeans unite against the Germans and put them in their place! Whenever Germany runs the show, they always create a mess! Hopefully the smaller remaining EU nations can hold their weight, but we'll have to see.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

51% to 49%, can such a huge decision be made with only a 2% difference?
Might as well have been a coin toss.

Throughout the Brexit campaign, Leave’s message of seizing back control captured the imagination of mostly older, rural voters. Younger, more urban Britons strongly favoured Remain, many citing the freedom to work anywhere in the union.

Adding to the array of unknowns, a geographic quagmire that could yet send the United Kingdom into a new spasm of disunity — Scotland and Northern Ireland, by significant majorities, each voted to Remain, while England and Wales voted Leave. The dissonance was already triggering a reawakening of the still-potent Scottish independence movement last night, with separatists urging a new referendum on Scotland departing from Britain to rejoin Europe.

Goodluck with that.
