    Damn, seems pretty crazy.

    What will be the repercussions of this for the average citizen?

    Whats the general take on this from British citizens before this whole thing went down, did you guys always want out?

    I once talked to a guy in Spain about the whole EU thing and he said they mostly hated it.

    Well... Congrats / Sorry to hear. Cheer up its Friday.

    • We don't know the repercussions yet - noone does. And that's why voting out was so stupid.fadein11
    • EU has loads of problems - like any administration. It's weird how people expect it to be perfect when their own govts are just as bad...fadein11
    • But being in had v.little impact on us and way more benefits. It's xenophobia ramped up by our right wing mainly Murdoch press.fadein11
    • I know the long term big stuff is unknown. Im talking more like... mmm.. travel? Ability to work in EU countries... If you're from Spain and you live in UK,sofakingback
    • first thing we'll do with our independence is get a new, unelected new prime minister overseeing a new, unelected governmentFax_Benson
    • Do you have to leave now? Shit like that.sofakingback
    • in 2 years time we're gone. see ya! hello border controls and queues to get to france yayhans_glib
    • There is a convoluted process, i think there is a timeframe of two years to begin the actual process of leaving. So nothing will happen overnight.face_melter
    • Damn, thats pretty fucked up.sofakingback
    • But after Cameron is shit-canned, who knows how fast whole thing will go. The swivel-eyed gonks may just jam on the accelerator and gun it towards the EXIT signface_melter
    • Sounds like the EU big boys want us out quickRanger
    • I'm sure I read that this could escalate into several other countries proposing to leave the EU too. Like France, Spain and Italy.Ianbolton
    • @Ian, so far that narrative has been limited only to the likes of Geert Wilders, Marine LePen, the Italian Northern League, the AfD, et al.Continuity
    • It just ocured to me, actually, the enormous (but frightening) irony of the solidarity amongst the anti-EU extreme right.Continuity
    • @Ian, those countries know they're stronger within a "big" EU than going their way alone...OBBTKN
    • I think the changes the EU is going to do now after the uk leave, it's going to strengthen the Union, i wishOBBTKN
    • I wish this, too. We need the EU. We need a strong EU, and we need to stay true to its values.Continuity
