Sinn Féin (Leading Republican part in NI) are already calling for a boarder vote for a united Ireland, since a large percentage of NI counties favored to remain. They probably wont get it but it wont stop them crying about it anyway. Lots of folks who voted leave have little idea of how the leave vote will effect Northern Ireland, which is the only part of the UK that shares an open boarder with an EU member (Republic of Ireland) and thats pretty disheartening.

So this Nigel Farage guy seems to be a pretty big guy in the brexit movement...
interview this morning when the mighty british nation left the small and week EU article I guess this now means that instead of giving all that money to the EU the English will now give all that money to the commonwealth and still the EU because soon you have to pay duty? I wonder how pissed the Scots and north Irish are right now.... |

And judging from what I've seen lots of leavers didn't think their vote would matter or don't even know what leaving the EU could actually mean. It's a pretty bad day for common sense that's for sure.
"Woman on Radio 4 who voted Leave. "I'm pleased. Don't think it'll affect us cause we're elderly. For the young people I'm not sure."" |

That video a few posts above is so heavily painted in pro-brexit sentiment it hardly shows an objective view.

Regardless, it will take at least two years for the UK to actually leave the EU so it's not like the money will be instantly available. And nobody knows how the government is going to use the money - the money that is left after buying access to the free market which won't be much. |

S(tupid)M(inded)H(umans)... that's the first word that comes to mind when people don't know what's the meaning behind their vote in any election/referendum.

Somehow this Brexit vote, rather than make the United Kingdom stronger and independent from Europe, may have doomed it with how Scotland and Northern Ireland are now talking about having their own referendums, the economic backslash from the rest of the world and might begin a chain reaction causing other European countries to follow suit.

Of course if negotiations go over time they'll just make an extension. Barring Boris Johnson desperately dragging it on (and he will, because the Leave fuckers have no plan whatsoever on what to do), it won't take that long. EU wants them out, now. Moreover, right now European economies will be on a holding pattern vis-a-vis Britain, and the less uncertainty, the better for everyone. UBS, et al are waiting to know if they can keep their London offices open and fully staffed or if they need to get in on that Frankfurt real estate market ASAP. Millions of EU citizens are uncertain about their status and will not be able to commit a future either way. And like a perfectly selfish shithead (i.e. a Leave voter :P), I have some liquid capital and I'm now looking for ways to profit from the volatility. Any takers? Invest in the Pound? Wait for a recession to fully set in? Buy skyscrapers in Frankfurt? |

OTOH, that 2 years countdown only starts when they officially announce they want to leave, and that referendum isn't legally binding. They may chose to drag their feet there. I don't know what that would do. |

^June 23, 2020, Boris Johnson finally invokes Article 50. 3 minutes later the United Kingdom's membership in the EEA is declared null and void, the City of London formally secedes from the Union, with a recently re-elected Sadiq Khan as its first Sovereign Lord Mayor...?
Okay, probably not. I'll need the Benjamins to wipe my tears as I mourn the rise of conservatism, the slow death of humanism and idealism in the face of tribal hatred. I'm going to need lots of Benjamins. Depending on how the EU reacts we may yet see another wave of market fluctuations, I don't know man. |
