Interesting times ahead. I also think the UK will fall apart. Northern Ireland will leave them for sure to get into the EU, would do them way more good with the border to Ireland, which stays in the EU for good. Not so sure about Scotland, but a new referendum for independence is inevitable at this point.

Short term changes should be disastrous, financial markets are already reacting. UK people should prepare to pay a lot more for their stuff in the future. The sterling pound is falling off a cliff right now. Don't know about long term though. It will take at least two years until the UK can officially leave the EU, most likely longer. The EU will make the UK pay, if only to show other nations that leaving the EU is an expensive task. The UK will also have a really REALLY hard time making new trade deals with the EU and also the US.

But well, let's also look at the good stuff! With the Sterling Pound so friggin' cheap, my next holiday in the UK should cost next to nothing! =P

Yeah the "United Kingdom" as a thing is probably done. Scotland will vote to leave in short order, and once that happens people in Northern Ireland are also start to buzz about having a referendum.
