What are the chances we get a 'better deal' from the EU and end up staying in?

None. Threatening to leave has been the UK's shtick in EU negotiation for the past 20 years.

 

[Floody]

Birmingham going leave. Holy fuck

Just said on BBC

That'll probably be the final nail in the coffin.

 

[trh]

Business people want out? Wasn't expecting this.

It's what people on either side of the fence thinks about these people. Leave voters basically trust no one.



At this point you might as well let UK burn to the ground to serve as an example. Fucking people, man.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is a referendum to leave the EU, not to commit genocide or start a war. I worry for your sake if you can't see the difference.

What if after the gay marriage vote in 2012, someone came in after and overturned it like you are saying should happen with this? That would have been inexcusable.

What gay marriage vote in 2012? If it were up to democracy, 80% of states would still be against it.

What about segregation?

 

[Mikeside]

what are the pro leave camp saying about the GBP freefall?

 

[NeOak]

None. Threatening to leave has been the UK's shtick in EU negotiation for the past 20 years.

Seems it is time they went through with their threat then. lol

what are the pro leave camp saying about the GBP freefall?

If they had any idea, they wouldn't have voted to leave.

 

[byropoint]

Holy shit, did not expect this one.

 

[El Topo]

Just the end of the UK

Nonsense. This will surely have economic and political repercussions, but it's not the end of the UK, it's not the end of the EU, it's not the end of the world.
Now, if Trump wins, then we're talking. Until then? Nah.

 

[plagiarize]

So, basically, retired people worried about immigrants taking all the jobs and the EU putting regulations on their pillows have overridden the desires of people actually in the market for jobs.

GREAT.

 

[Operations]

Scotland and Northern Ireland will leave and Cameron will go down as the man responsible for destroying the UK.

 

[Kathian]

Omg Suzanne Evans (UKIPer) just claimed on Radio 4 the markets are crashing due to project fear and government propaganda.

She also talked loyalty to your country and the markets should show some.

What a mad fucking loony moron.

 

[nephilimdj]

Already looks like its been re-jpg'd 10 times, is it even legit

 

[Zackat]

how low can it go

 

[gotstrangepowers]

What Networks are United States viewers getting live coverage from?

CNBC

 

[MassiveNights]

I'm getting pretty emotional about all this now.

Farage tipped me over the edge.

 

[CrocMother]

technically they can say no, but they won't, unless they want riots

At what point are riots a preferable short-term price?

 

[Haloid1177]

For this one day America didn't make the dumb decision. Feels good. Sorry BritGAF.

 

[Crashdown]

Well, at least it was democratic.

 

[Moosichu]

Business people want out? Wasn't expecting this.

No. It's asking people if they trust the given types of people.

 

[Scum]

"United Kingdom", my arse!

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Yeah



I can't really see that happening. Surely there's no reason for them to even exist if it's a a Leave vote?

You're kidding right? Of course they'll still exist.

They're even more far right tories than the tories

 

[Hazzuh]

Scotland are almost certainly gone, I sincerely doubt NI is going to unify with Ireland and Wales has no mandate for an indy ref considering how much it went for leave.

 

[Faynwulf]

Watching the Pound fall... thinking "how low can it go?".

 

[toadsworth]

This is the best example of why direct democracy doesn't work in modern history. Incredible. Stay strong, UK.

 

[Madness]

Birmingham has voted Leave. This is it. It is a wrap folks. There is almost zero chance Remain wins now.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Leave for Birmingham?

What the actual fuck.

 

[Lime]

Emboldened right wing. Economic freefall. Ohhhhh shit.

Great recipe for fascism

 

[Fergie]

FFS went to sleep safe in the knowledge remain would win and woke up to find us 600000 behind. England......wtf are you doing?!? You believed Farage, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove over the experts? FFS

It's been a mantra.

"People are tired of the experts". Incredible isn't it.

 

[faridmon]

Leave won Birmingham? Wow.

Where did you read that?

Remain won according to Birmingham Mail.

 

[DjRalford]

The Sterling pound is $1.35 right now, after almost being $1.50

AYYYYY LMAOOOOOO

There'll be wild swings for a few days, there'll be a lot of poorer rich people come morning when the markets crash 10% on opening.

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

Im gonna die soon anyway so why not go out with a bang?

Are you sick?

 

[RK9039]

brb changing name to immortan joe

Just said on the BBC that Birmingham is leaning Leave. Disaster, what the fuck is happening?

Yeah this entire thing doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, I'll be Chum Bucket from now on.

 

[kirblar]

Well, at least it was democratic.

And people wondered why I said Democracy is often not ideal in prior threads on other subjects.

 

[PeskyToaster]

How do I make some money off this?

 

[PaRappa]

Scotland's going to leave the UK and go back to the EU

with near worthless oil and having to join the euro

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Cameron has to think about the future of the UK right. Cancel this ref. Resign!

 

[Ash735]

I'm laughing and yet confused about how Wales has pretty much just been:

"AHHA, Nobody expected the Welsh to vote Leave! Now we've surprised you all, we took the EU money and ran!"

 

[NeOak]

how low can it go

It keeps going dooooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn

 

[MetatronM]

Yeah



I can't really see that happening. Surely there's no reason for them to even exist if it's a a Leave vote?

Oh yeah, political leaders always just go home as soon as they score a major victory.

 

[plagiarize]

Scotland and Northern Ireland will leave and Cameron will go down as the man responsible for destroying the UK.

It won't be destroyed, but it's going to be hurt substantially by this. And yes, I see Scotland and NI leaving now.

 

[HighResTomato]

Leave for Birmingham?

What the actual fuck.

Yep, UKIP have been campaigning hard there.

 

[Syder]

Nonsense. This will surely have economic and political repercussions, but it's not the end of the UK, it's not the end of the EU, it's not the end of the world.
Now, if Trump wins, then we're talking. Until then? Nah.

Thanks Topo.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

what are the pro leave camp saying about the GBP freefall?

They don't seem to be acknowledging it.

 

[Makabe]

Do you guys think the EU would be better off without us, or the cracks will increase after us?

 

[The Elite]

I thought MI5 had this. You had one job.

 

[Baybars]

Wow even birmingham? The hell?

 

[QuicheFontaine]

But the official opposition is in pretty poor shape even without the added confusion of the referendum result. How is Labour going to win a snap election? It doesn't have Scotland to bolster its results, it saw a lot of defections to UKIP in Northern England in the 2015 election, and Jeremy Corbyn doesn't seem like a plausible prime minister to a lot of people. Unless you think that pro-remain Conservative voters and waverers are somehow going to punish the Cameron government. And even if they do that and Labour somehow wins a plurality of the seats, what, they rely on the SNP to get their agenda through? They'll be agitating for another referendum; how does a unionist party conduct business with the nationalists in government?

I thought Corbyn was asked about a snap election like two days ago, and basically replied "bring it on".

 

[Mii]

AmericaGAF checking in.

How quickly can Scotland move to leave the UK?

Is there a way for London to leave the UK?

 

[MassiveNights]

Well, at least it was democratic.

Not if you identify as Scottish.

I mean it is, legally, but I feel absolutely fucked over.

 

[Faustek]

I'm hoping that was all just talk to deter a leave vote, clearly misinformed about the UK people if so.

Come now, if anything we all know that British politicians favour the oak of a high class Dominatrix.
