Brexit
 

The voting as to whether or not the UK should exit the EU begins today. The offical result should be reached on Friday. What do you think, should the UK leave? Yea or may?

UK the country leaves the continent Europe? What

European Union, not the continent.


EU is far from perfect but we're better off staying in than leaving. All the reasons to leave seem like such bs compared to the reasons to stay.

nuh uh not until you turn 18

Im not realy interested bout it but why do they wanna Leave ?

I'd like to leave out of pure curiosity.

#VOTELEAVE

We need to be optimistic about this, its a golden opportunity that other countries could only dream of having

The EU is like the Titanic and this referendum is a lifeboat, it may be rough for the first year but once reality hits we'll come out stronger and better

EDIT: Misread the poll and voted nay, I meant the other option (whichever is leave)

Stronger and better? Pretty much every economist is saying we'd be worse off by leaving and I'd agree. Although I guess since it hasn't been done before there's a level of uncertainty so I don't think anyone can predict exactly what would happen.

I want the UK to stay..

Nah Nah I know what you guys are up to.


If you vote to leave, somehow you guys will remove the UK by pulling it out of the earth where it will live in the sky. You thought your plan was full proof but I figured it out.

let daenerys stormborn rule

fool*

Ryan is dumb, pass it on

Vote to leave, it will make some interesting news

well ****, you got us

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

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

imagine the memes

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

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

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.

KEK I hope you're kidding

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...

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.

20 reasons you should vote to leave the European Union

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

I mean british owned the world before ww2
British army owned alot of countries such as the british colonies that formed canada,the us,bermuda,india,jamaica,australia ect.
They can support themselves well.

That article seems incredibly biased but there's always reasons why those rules are put in place that might not always be obvious.

The BBC do a good overview of the pros and cons of the EU: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politic...endum-36027205

And yes we have Dyson vacuums, I'm guessing certain models are banned here though based on that article.

well damn it's offical UK gonna be single and ready to mingle.

damn, the absolute madmen actually did it



now let us have Trump

lmao they actually did it

So Great Britain is out, this is a sad day for the EU and Great Britain, here are some polls on everything ;(

So who is going to break away first? Northern Ireland or Scottland?

EVERYTHING IS DROPPING
things ain't lookin good
if you're in the UK

EVERYTHING IS DROPPING

this does not accurately represent my views or feelings about the situation. it's just that if it rhymes, it's true. for best results, sing to the tune of "Everything is Awesome!"

GG UK

I'm actually fricking suprised majority voted leave.. only time will tell if this is good or bad(Obviously there will be few years to re-establish what's going to happen)

Most who voted out was basically take back control of our own laws etc also think the Eu will crumble same time uk will be sorting **** out, sure there will be struggles(Prices raised/taxed more/less benefits) but that was always going to happen when taking a big risk.

OH and to put out to all the Americans this EU debate has been media bias from start to remain in! So take it as you will and vote, don't back out of voting for your next president.

Lol, Britain was built on lots of different industrial work back in the day only reason they ended up in eu was because of the war and to become closer to other countries but also by doing this we cut out trades with many countries and had to go of laws made/accepted in brussels.

and @David Cameron he was original person to want out of the EU and made the referendum happen for majority verdict then started to backtrack on himself because now he'll soon be done for.

EDIT: David Cameron Has just resigned.

Cameron just stepped down

north ireland flirting with the idea of a united ireland and scotland will prob want to **** off and become its own country since the vast majority voted to stay

maybe the english being third world semi ******s (except rufus he is bae) is gonna pay off afterall

Neither.Why?

This was the expected outcome of a leave vote, but hopefully things will improve in the long run.

No. He promised to hold one during the General Election. He never wanted to hold a vote, he was pressured into doing so.

You forgot to mention Wales.

Damn, that's sort of sad for the young people. It's the old British people who voted the most to stay, and they only have around 20 or less years of their life. Pretty much 60% of young people wanted to stay compared to 20% to leave. They have to live for the next 70 years with the decision the old people made.

Honestly, for these long term situations, young people's votes should be weighted more heavily than seniors.

I don't know **** about Wales, other than some inappropriate sheep jokes.

Oh yeah actually it was Gordon Brown who first brought debate around then David Cameron decided that it was time to have the vote on the eu(After they give some offer) He did say in one of the vids/press conferences that UK would be ok outside of the EU but then later on Once campaigns started stuck with remain, that is very understandable because of his role/would be affected-that we now know he's resigned after losing debate(October for next person in)

I thought we'd remain in to be honest, but it's the turnout that ultimately decides and many who was undecided should have registered to vote and vote to remain if was unsure on decision.

I completely expected a rigged vote to stay in or for the government to completely ignore our votes if it resulted in leave. Turns out I was wrong

It's a shame really, another london riot would've been nice. I could do with a new flat screen

France just became the 5th biggest. Great Britain is now only the sixth. Next thing you know we will have to call it G6 cause Russia ends up being a he seventh xD

And that's before we've even left yet, it's going to get much worse when we're actually out and we're most likely going to end up in another recession.

Economists said it was going to happen yet more half the population still voted no, it completely boggles me as to why.

More polls and Data coming up. This is a really impressive one.
