EEA requires all the same laws we always implemented plus freedom of movement, so it would be a sad and hilarious outcome.

Even better: You'll also lose your voice in Brussels. I'm sure the Leavers will be pleased.

 

[T-Rex.]

How different is EEA to what we have now because it sounds more like a status in the EU change rather than...practical effects?

My understanding is it'll be exactly the same as it is now (in terms of money paid in, freedom of movement etc) except we'll actually have no say on EU regulation whereas we currently do and like to pretend we don't.

 

[Arksy]

Sovereignty is the only thing we get, that'll be enough to appease most leave voters.

And in simple terms, that's what a lot of leavers wanted.

 

[iNvid02]

nobody knows fuck all yet, its all just for show

 

[Hazzuh]

I'm a physics grad student and everyone I know is incredibly worried. Lots of people get the majority of their funding from EU bodies.

UK Votes To Leave The EU |OT2| The UK on Holiday at Bernies

 

[Shito]

Have to pay the same, don't get the same benefits, can't vote the laws to abide to even less so veto them, open borders.

ie: the "ironic" effects

 

[BossDarkseid]

1) Still the same freedom of movement
2) Still pay EU to access single market

BUT

1) Have to follow all of EU's regulation with no voting/veto rights
2) No funding from EU for city building etc

My understanding is it'll be exactly the same as it is now (in terms of money paid in, freedom of movement etc) except we'll actually have no say on EU laws whereas we currently do and like to pretend we don't.

Oh.

Somethingsomething "you played yourself" .gif

 

[TheFatOne]

Cameron putting on a master class on deflection.

 

[call_kotaku]

What prevents banks from moving out of London even if they get a Norway-style deal?

What are the advantages from being based in London?

 

[ferrasvansen]

Well then, as far as China is concerned, UK can say bye bye to EU... after 10 years

haha brilliant, Boris and Gove done us over... well fucking played, bastards.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

So what are the realistic chances that Ireland is unified, Scotland is independent (or form a Gaelic Union with Northern Ireland), and London becomes an independent city-state if the UK actually leaves the EU?

 

[Chinner]

And in simple terms, that's what a lot of leavers wanted.

Except freedom of movement will remain.

 

[danowat]

And in simple terms, that's what a lot of leavers wanted.

Well, that and a reduction in net migration, but I am sure they'll spin it in a way that looks like they'll manage that.

 

[Zaph]

Country is going to shit and old white lady uses her one question to the PM to assure everyone they're not racist.

Fuck off

 

[AHA-Lambda]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

 

[ReplacementPelican]

'Will the Prime Minister condemn people calling Leave campaigners racist!?'

Oh fuck off.

 

[Par Score]

When do we begin? "That is a question for the next leadership"

What about the single market? "That is a question for the next leadership"

Sugar in your tea? " "That is a question for the ne... one please"

As I said, until the Tories sort themselves out, we don't have a government and nothing will happen.

3 months minimum of waffle and chaos.

 

[Mr. Sam]

1) Still the same freedom of movement (actually slightly looser as there won't be any passport checks at Eurostar, the tunnel, the ferry at Dover...plus travelling to EU via flight using just a driver's license instead of passport would be possible)
2) Still pay EU to access single market

BUT

1) Have to follow all of EU's regulation with no voting/veto rights/no place in EU parliament
2) No funding from EU for city building etc

I knew this already but BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

gg wp

 

[Steel]

Ooooh now free movement got brought up.

And Cameron dodged that shit.

 

[FlammableD]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

lololol

 

[RedSparrows]

And in simple terms, that's what a lot of leavers wanted.

But they won't be getting it, really.

Sovereignty seems to have been interpreted, broadly, as 'we make our own rules, 100% of the time'. Nothing you ever do anymore is like that. EEA won't be like that. We'll have less power because we threw a hissy fit over the issue of sovereignty and in all likelihood lost some. That's only if we go EEA, of course.

 

[Jezbollah]

Except freedom of movement will remain.

This and the 350m p/w for the NHS....

What will the Leave voters think?

 

[Calabi]

It does feel like they are setting it up to fail somehow. They have all these demands, access to single market, to still be a world player, to continue investment in science etc. None of the assurances they want can be assured.

Maybe not setting up for another referendum, but setting up for a way out and to say that to leave would not be in the best interests of the UK and here is why.

 

[Hazzuh]

So what are the realistic chances that Ireland is unified, Scotland is independent (or form a Gaelic Union with Northern Ireland), and London becomes an independent city-state if the UK actually leaves the EU?

Scottish independence seems likely, NI uniting with Ireland is very unlikely IMO and no chance of independence for London lol.

 

[D4Danger]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

Fucking clueless idiots running this country.

 

[SuperSah]

What's the general message here, then?

 

[HazySaiyan]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

Good luck with that one LOL

 

[nOoblet16]

I think freedom of movement is here to say no matter how much protest it gets.

 

[Snarfington]

What's the general message here, then?

We had a good run.

 

[danowat]

What's the general message here, then?

They done fucked up.

 

[mnz]

What prevents banks from moving out of London even if they get a Norway-style deal?

What are the advantages from being based in London?

Notice how he didn't address it at all, because he knows it's impossible

 

[EdwardTeach]

Well then, as far as China is concerned, UK can say bye bye to EU... after 10 years

No they are saying it will take 10years to negotiate a trade deal with China.

 

[BossDarkseid]

What's the general message here, then?

You know when you think no one can be that incompetent as to make a bad matter worse?

 

[Steel]

What's the general message here, then?

We have no idea what we're doing.

With a subtext of the UK rejoining the EU in all but name after leaving.

 

[InsaneZero]

What's the general message here, then?

Literally "i dunno"

 

[ferrasvansen]

No they are saying it will take 10years to negotiate a trade deal with China.

We have not got enough trade negotiators for any of this shit.

 

[nOoblet16]

This and the 350m p/w for the NHS....

What will the Leave voters think?

They may have our money, but they will never take our freedom.

 

[BahamutPT]

Sounds like Cameron wants to drag triggering article 50 until new trade deals are in place, am I getting this right?

More like he doesn't want to deal with it, so it's up to whoever comes next to trigger it.

 

[SuperSah]

This is awful :/

I think it's going to happen guys

 

[BlastProcessing]

Sounds like Cameron wants to drag triggering article 50 until new trade deals are in place, am I getting this right?

Why would the EU agree to that? It would give the UK massive advantage in the negotiations.

 

[El Topo]

We have not got enough trade negotiators for any of this shit.

See? Already new job opportunities in Britain.

 

[platocplx]

More like he doesn't want to deal with it, so it's up to whoever comes next to trigger it.

Yep. He wants no part

 

[Real Hero]

I can't believe boris and gove are not even there, fucking hell

 

[pigeon]

What's the general message here, then?

I agree that it's important to have a general message and definitely parliament and the new government will want to determine what the general message should be in the coming months, but I definitely agree that a general message is wanted.

 

[Audioboxer]

This is awful :/

I think it's going to happen guys

It is, they're just going to drag it out for as long as possible for maximum damage.

 

[danowat]

This is awful :/

I think it's going to happen guys

It will, it's the only way to salvage anything out of the whole sorry affair.

Like I said, Sovereignty will be enough to appease most leavers.

 

[Chinner]

This is awful :/

I think it's going to happen guys

It's going to happen.

 

[Khoryos]

Can Scotland and Ireland just get together to kick England and Wales out of the UK? We can be a new country, with no EU membership, and they get to keep it.

(Then I get to move back to my ancestral home)

 

[darkwing]

Well then, as far as China is concerned, UK can say bye bye to EU... after 10 years

but UK is the 5th largest economy in the world....
