Well the financial centre of the World has just decided that it didn't need the EU as a safe net behind them. Thats why the UK has lost its AAA rating this morning.

Well the world will not go down, or everyone in Britain will get poor overnight. But it is a bad move for trade nonetheless.

the economy will be up and down for a bit but will return to normal. More importantly come on Europe now it's your turn, let's destroy this unwieldy behemoth and replace it with something better, that's not a cash cow for Europe's failed elite career politicians, that's based around trade and working together to achieve a common goal and make the world a better place but doesn't have the ultimate goal of dominance over us all.

and who decide a conutry raking? private society, that's it give them money and they will increase your rank(feel like pay 20 euro in war live to buy 4.500.000.000 renown).

How can they say a conuntry passed from a aaa to aa or b+, they have no real knowledge about that and either should have the power to tell **** about with out any pubblic controll.

i thought the EU was a pretty sweet deal for UK?

Also how are you going to recover from the fallout on your GBP? Have you started seeing any effects of it already?

[adei]

what made yall brits choose to vote to leave?

As a brit, I would also like to know the answer to this question

Main reason I believe is that a lot of people were misled by the propaganda and false claims, i.e the main swinging point used to leave was to remove people from the country... which won't happen since that's not how it works, and as we now see the £350 million promised to go into the NHS no longer will. What a surprise. Wonder if they will get a nice little raise after this one

[RyanMakara]

Well at least the Brits had a tremendous vote turn-out for this little stunt...
When the Dutch held an advisory referendum about the EUs trade agreement with the Ukraine we could get the bare minimum of 31% of vote eligible people to cast a vote, and while 62% of them voted against the treaty in particular, no decision on the outcome has been made. It's been 2 months since this has happened and our government still hasn't decided whether to toss the outcome aside or respect the will of the people; trying to find a hogwash backdoor way of outlasting the people's choice and still trying to sneakily ratify this treaty by altering a few lines, being too gutless to say they won't listen to its own populace when they could.

John Oliver is a huge cuck

Spoiler:

EU is pissed it can't milk the UK anymore to help keep failed member states afloat with it's welfare state and perpetual immigration that only works in the short term and will probably cause civil wars in the long run.

[Vayra]

Someone at a different forum I frequent had this to say about why you folks should leave:

Spoiler:

Here's an article I wrote for Huff Po which got bumped after the Jo Cox shooting which I think is cross party in terms of just saying "look left or right Europe is buggered, risks of remain are being ignored".

The main failing of the current deafening volume of posts backing remain is their UK centric outlook.

If you vote remain, you think you're voting for a status quo, keeping the relationship as it is today.

That was never an option, it could never be an option. If it were one, I would actually be on the fence about staying in.

However, European institutions are going one way, political and economic reality is going another.

Schengen is crumbling due to German unilateral policy making.

The euro area is facing FOUR major crises in the next 12 months and does not have the capability to raise necessary liquidity or force through structural reforms fast enough.

EMU has locked three of four major euro economies in a deflationary spiral that is expediting the collapse of the EU's economic power.

Youth unemployment is at such a high level in Mediterranean and French economies that there is a legitimate concern on the election of far right governments (or far left).

So yes pour scorn on all the little Englanders, working class people who are worried about mass migration, though this is a pan-European concern and they are joined by little Frenchmen and little Italians, who can and do vote for parties far more terrifying than UKIP.

Sneer at those who don't understand the benefits of EU funding streams or pan European access initiatives - the window dressing of the Lisbon Treaty - these things are great but they are doing what they were designed to do. Distract those they benefit from the fundamental contradictions and failings of the EU supranational structures. Delors and Giscard D’Estaing spelled out that this was their express purpose when they set up the movement from intergovernmental to federal processes.

The Euro doesn't work. EU institutions do not work. The single market does not work. Especially in terms of job and firm creation because it has a regulatory bias to vested interests and established corporates. We are in a customs union that can be very effectively lobbied at the top end and which stifles progress and innovation. We are losing the global race inside the EU.

So yes vote remain because of a revulsion for the fears and worries of the poor and ill educated,

Vote remain because you think you've picked up on the UK centric elements of the economic debate which has steadfastly ignored the huge looming problems facing the rest of the EU in short, mid and long term which dwarf any costs of adjustment the UK would face.

Even vote remain because you are ideologically wed to the idea of pan European government that can hobble UK domestic governance (the nasty Tories, boo hiss!).

And finally vote remain because the baubles of funding and easy travel just make your life easier.

It's your choice, I don’t blame anyone for making their mind up on the above reasons they are compelling. For many people on social media directly benefit from the EU, or they feel there is a value to the EU in their lives, whether in keeping Thatcher mk2 out of office or the idea that they can go and work abroad if they can find a job there.

But before you vote tomorrow take a step outside the UK debate and look at the rest of the EU. What’s happening to other countries and what direction the EU is going in.

If you vote to remain, you are voting to stay inside a building that's burning down and locking the door.

We cannot save EMU, we will never join the Euro.

We cannot arrest EU institutional momentum as that is driven by the need to save the EMU.

We cannot solve the economic crises that grip Southern Europe.

We cannot influence the populations of these countries to not vote in increasingly worrying governments, as a result of the significant costs of EU membership.

We cannot maintain the status quo. We never could and never will be able to.
