Is anyone here directly affected by this? Other than simply by living in the UK, I mean?
Does anyone think they will lose work because of the ensuing separation?

Is Brexit the first shot in a larger, upcoming anti-globalization movement?
- There is a bit of an anti globalization movement but I think in some ways its dangerous in how everything is so connected.yurimon
- to me its just failure of EU policy, major downfall would the promises/propaganda... gap.yurimon
- Its the peoples choice. If they want, they want it. It is a democracy. I await the ramifications.docpoz
- to be fair i though a referendum for joining or leaving should have been at least 2/3 of the population like in some other countries to be actionable.yurimon

I read that this is just a "vote", there is no legal action required, that's up to the politicians. Is there any chance that people scramble to save this? Everything I've read suggest they are all deer-in-headlights and a re-vote would be, could be, very different.
It's hard to imagine something like this coming down to a 1% over votes.
- Although it could hurt the trust between people and govt if they choose to go against the vote. Even if it seem like the right decision.pango
- Cameron pretty much set up a trap for the next PM.pango
- Sure, but given the magnitude and the naivete of so many, surely there are movements already started to change it before it is really doneformed
- It's not like the presidency where you "know" what will happen one way or the other. I don't know enough, but was curious to read thatformed

The question is how generous the other 27 countries will be. And the answer is surely: not very. For the EU, Brexit is a catastrophe. Europe is beset by crises: the euro zone is troubled and divided, the refugee problem has not gone away, countries such as Hungary and Poland have lurched in an illiberal direction, and populist (and often anti-EU) parties are everywhere on the rise. Both France’s president, François Hollande, and Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, face tricky elections next year.
In practice the EU will offer Britain only two possible deals. The first is to join Norway in the European Economic Area. This would preserve full access to the single market. But, like Norway, Britain would have to make a hefty contribution to the EU budget (Norway pays about 85% as much as Britain per head), observe all EU single-market regulations with no say in making them and, crucially, accept free movement of people from the EU. It is hard to imagine a post-Brexit government accepting this. The second is a free-trade deal like the EU’s with Canada. Yet this does not cover all trade, does not eliminate non-tariff barriers, excludes most financial services and could take years to agree.
The other option for Britain is to revert to trading with the EU as America, China and India do, under normal World Trade Organisation rules. But most economists say this would make the economic damage from Brexit worse. It would bring back mutual tariffs on cars, pharmaceuticals, food and fish. It would reinstate many non-tariff barriers. And it would exclude most services, including financial services.

After the '90 Europe changed and this change was a disaster for one country.sted - If the pound stays low for a short while, British exports would benefit. hiring British would be beneficial on the world market.yurimon
- EU relaxed its standards and qualification to enter into the EU as you seen with greece and other eastern block countries. Alot of these countries benefitedyurimon

- Aye, f_m, I think there'll be a huge reaction against them when their voters realise how much they've been lied todetritus
- Both campaigns ran with paranoia and falsehoods, but the Leave was particularly insidious because they were on a hiding to nothing and almost expected to lose.face_melter
- So now they won, they are flapping like fuck and desperately trying to throw some kind of coherent policy together. Fuck them and let them burn.face_melter

so, even within 24 hours it emerged that two of the 3 main issues that the Leave side campaigned on were not what it seemed the Leave voters voted on.
1. Nigel Farage said it was a mistake for Leave campaign to promise £350m for NHS
2. Daniel Hannan MEP said leaving EU does not mean zero immigration from EU
Also, who the fuck runs and wins a "leave EU" campaign and then turns around and says there is no rush in invoking the regulation that allows the UK to leave the EU????????
I think the EU were right for saying they need to invoke Article 50 without delay.
- The rest of Europe are calling out Boris and his merry gang of cunts for the opportunistic chancers they are.face_melter
