I'd go on a limb here and consider this to be the start of the dissolution of the Union. Scotland will not forgive this, and if this is really shaping up to be a Black Friday (Asian markets are taking a heavy beating as I write), Sinn Fein will pull Northern Ireland towards reunification within five years, at most. |

As someone from a different forum wrote, this is one case where "those with lower intelligence have seismically changed the course of the country". Based on more information I gathered everywhere, it's an alliance of baby-boomers longing for past glory tainted with selfishness, and of uneducated idiots who made that mess a reality. That didn't take long and that isn't going to stop any time soon. |

You people are making it sound like the leave people are looking for the resurgence of the British Empire when it is probably more like the fractures will likely extend to the remnants of the UK likewise splitting apart.

To be frank I don't personnal care if Scotland leave they have nothing of value and only a drain on Englands revenue, if they leave they'll have to cut their public spending by half.
And to be honest anybody who can't see that the EU has pretty much been imploding for years is blind, you have countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and portugal that in dire financial state you have some of the big German bank on the verge of collapse the EU is a frigging ticking time bomb. |

They may be 'uneducated','ignorant' and so on.... the point still remains - they are majority and they proved it. Minority in that case can only sit down and watch as they celebrate. Isn't democracy great thing? Now we all need is for Trump to in US elections and this year will be recorded in history as "most interesting one". |

All I see now is the GBP and British companies dropping value at the stock exchange. Furthermore, businesses have started moving their assets and headquarters out of Britain. Enjoy time in the wilderness if that's what you really want. |

Well with 99.5 percent of the voted counted, its official. Leave won.
EDIT: “We have done it without having to fight, we have done it without a bullet being fired. Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent nation.” In case you were wondering if Leave was headed by a sane, decent person... Last edited by MCAL; 2016-06-24 at 01:21. |

Not even a mighty warrior can break a frail arrow when it is multiplied and supported by its fellows. As long as you brothers support one another and render assistance to one another, your enemies can never gain the victory over you. But if you fall away from each other your enemy can brake you like frail arrows, one at a time.
Genghis Khan People talk about independence all the time and about doing things yourself but the reality is that as a society we need each other for the greater good. But hey what do I know right? When you let emotions rule you then you're bound to make crazy decisions but as others have said this has been coming due to the incompetence of certain people. On the other hand I'm sure Putin is smiling with glee. |

The German stock index DAX has opened with the biggest drop since 2008. Opened with a 10% loss. The Nikkei in Tokyo dropped by 8%. The Swiss market index SMI also lost 7% with their banks suffering the most. UBS and Credit Suisse stocks dropped by 13%. Fun times.
