Is this actually true though? I don't know much about the situation but I'd assume Europe doesn't want them to leave.

Crono 06-23-2016 04:03 PM

i want them to leave...just out of curiosity

Sir 06-23-2016 05:47 PM

imagine the memes

Sir 06-23-2016 07:04 PM

this is going to bring a whole new meaning to union jack

Admiral 06-23-2016 07:17 PM

Even though personally I'm out, I reckon we will remain in the EU. If it's what the majority want then fair enough, but I still believe this is a golden opportunity

Sardon 06-23-2016 07:21 PM

I have a european citizenship and so if the uk left that means I wouldn't be able to move there :(

Uk must stay.

If I was British I would vote to stay. I'm not too educated though and have questions for people who vote to leave.

1. You guys are tiny, how could you support yourself if you leave. I don't know too much about Britain but as a tiny island I can't imagine you have much industry.

2. As far as I know David Cam wants to stay, isn't it a little concerning your PM isn't confident you'd make it on your own.

1. We are one of the biggest economies in the world, I have full expectancy that maybe the first year things may be a bit rougher but once this whole referendum blows over and reality strikes countries will trade with us.

2. You won't find many Brits that actually like David Cameron, and don't hold his opinion too highly (yes he was voted in, but first past the post is absolute rubbish and needs to be changed) and if anything, the fact we have a PM who isn't optimistic and doesn't believe this country could survive on its own speaks volumes for itself really.

We're the 5th biggest economy in the world but only a tenth of the size of the United States making us relatively small in comparison. With all the countries in the European Union we are around the size of the States. This allows us to negotiate better trade deals as we are able to act as a whole unit. If we left the EU we'd be left to trade by ourselves and because we're a much smaller economy we'd find it harder to negotiate and would most likely be worse off. If we were as productive as Germany and were running a current account surplus like them then maybe leaving could work, but we're far from it and I don't see the benefits of leaving outweighing the costs.

I strongly dislike Cameron but it's not just him who wants to remain.

There's also a lot of people who want to leave but half of them are known for being racists or just down right idiots.

Remain:

David Cameron, Ed Balls, Mark Carney (Bank of England), Barack Obama, Nicola Sturgeon, Stephen Hawking, Christine Lagarde (IMF), Paul Johnson (IFS), Angela Merkel

Leave:

Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, Borris Johnson, Gerard Lyons, Vladimir Putin, Katie Hopkins, Duncan Bannatyne, Bernie Ecclestone

Okay Admiral was starting to convince me but idk how this list makes me feel...

Sir 06-24-2016 01:04 AM

You're going to listen to a man named Ed Balls?

and Donald Trump said he doesn't know much about it, so he isn't going to weigh in on the Brexit.

He's knows as much as most people in this country do. Most of the propaganda around the leave side is mainly immigration based and just talks about how bad it is for the country.

Results are currently coming in from polls. Only 9/382 constituency results have been announced with leave leading by less than 1% so far and the value of the pound has already collapsed.

Now I'm not from the UK, so my opinion on this matter is of little importance. That being said, I found this article that that had some points that reminded me of the reasons the US declared independence from Britain back in the day.

Is it true you guys aren't allowed to have Dyson vacuum cleaners?
