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.
