I dream of the day when we have a new political party that isnt based on what class people think they belong to. We could do with a lot more referendums if you ask me. The Swiss do it and they seem happy enough.
 
The hysteria was prior to the event, we are now in the reality. The results are clear for all to see, the currency (for example) was already low because of the turmoil things like referendums cause I.e. £-$ being at 1.44 now we are where we are its at 1.37, yet last night when it looked as though we were remaining it climbed above 1.50. Time will tell

It will mate (time), and I'm no expert - I've not got a clue to be fair, but I do know the media love to whip up some hysteria so try an look for a balanced view.

I then look at this and wonder...

Not going to lie, I was astonished when I saw the result earlier today. And a bit fretful.

But now, on reflection, lets just roll our sleeves up and get on with it.

For many reasons, the majority of the UK have voted for us to do one. When, as a nation, we pull together and sort stuff, we are a pretty formidable group of islands. #2012olympics.

Swerve the acrimony, the blame, the fear. Play the hand we have been dealt, and play it together.
 
I do kind of respect the leave voters (excluding the ignorant, elderly, immigrant objectors) for their bravery of voting us into the unknown.

My default 'fear of change' mentality played no small part in my stay vote, but since lots of things have been going south for about 15 years anyway (NHS, house prices / ratio to earnings, pensions, interest rates), something did need to change, whether this is the right change we'll just have to wait and see...

From Great Britain to Little Britain.

Well said.

See, this is why you're a moderator.

Actually, then you look at Mick and the rest of them. How they got the gig I'll never know.
 
If there is one person to blame if people are looking for one it's the man who has cut and run at the first sign of trouble and left the country in the lurch.

The joke of it all is that in a referendum that apparently we couldn't afford to lose , the people convincing you to choose the winning side didn't even bother to try and offer reasoned arguments or facts or anything that would convince you to join them.

The fact this man was elected by this country only a year ago means for every single person not happy with the vote , take a look at who you voted for in the election and you brought it along yourselves.

Personally, I'd say this is typical England. The England that has long been lost to EU parliament and the modern age. The country once stood on its own two feet and ruled the world. Now we are back there it is time we so what is English do best and become the country we have spent hundreds of years being.
 
Of course it isn't the end of the world, and Britain won't cease to exist, but it will be worse off as a result of this. The clip earlier of Obama talking about negotiating on trade collectively being more efficient, but there are so many other issues that require similar collaboration, whether it's on climate agreements, various regulations around things like driverless cars and blockchain, sharing criminal data and so on. Anything where international collaboration is fundamental, it helps to be at the table, and we've just voted to ostracise ourself from it.

So sure we'll still muddle on, but our global role will be diminished in a big way.
I am sure the economy will be fine in the long run. However if we keep excluding sections of people from a fair share of it and allow reckless businesses to offshore the profits and not make a fair contribution then we will have still failed. You are right about international regulation being made harder but the political exit leaders hate regulation. It gets in the way of a quick profit and protects consumers. Upset by the vote but more upset about the likes of Hartlepool that are left to scrabble through life and we have not noticed or cared enough. They have been living through what Liverpool did in the early eighties. I was trying to get my first job at the time and it was soul destroying and I did not have to pay the rent or support a family. I hope this wakes us all up.
