The Socialist Party did, here in Sweden we don't vote for who will be the Prime Minister, we vote for the party and they then choose who will become the Prime Minister, in 99% of the cases they will choose the leader of the winning party.

Good luck with that. How much of your exports when to the EU again? Oh, right.
This is going to be a terrible time. If Netherlands leaves, our economy (I'm Dutch) will seriously tank. We are exporting so much stuff through our ports to Germany, it will kill the economy for years upon years. We shouldn't even vote, I don't trust the public to make an informed decision about this.
Also means you're going to kill yourself working a job for less wages and less buying power.
Did none of you think about this? Did you all imagine you'd be riding in a better quality of life or something?

But don't you read?
The recession started 10 minutes ago
Thousands are losing their job this morning.
The banks are all going under.
It's pointless to execute previous plans to study move or whatever in the UK.
The narrative that everyone who voted leave is racist or xenophobic needs stop before gets out of hand. I think my Facebook feed is more civil then some posts I seen on GAF and that is fucked up.
I wonder how many leave votes where just to put middle finger to Cameron and get him to resign. I voted remain but not going get pissy and insult sling and doom say

You might be making a rash action. Are you sure you want to act during a panic?

"In one day we set back our currency thirty years, but it's great because think of the bargains we're going to give everyone else now! It'll make us MORE money than we already have, all we had to do was cause another recession! But WE caused it, not some other group of people telling US what to do!"
Okay, I seriously need to go to bed and catch up tomorrow. Good luck UK, good luck. If I stay in this thread any longer I'll risk my account.

Of course, but it's up to people to change it. All I'm seeing right now is this on the Internet.
Theres never been a single instance in my life when that kind of reaction has helped anything but yet it's happening.
No wonder England haven't won a World Cup for 60 years, we are clearly a nation of people who love to shit the bed.
We already do.

Joffrey if he grew up.
First we have to negotiate a favourable deal with Europe. We can only do deals with other countries if we have a good deal with Europe - while we are a large economy, we are much more attractive to do deals with if we can also provide access to the European market
And all this could take 10+ years.

How is this not a time for a precise time table?
Yes I did think about this. I thought about it long and hard. For balance though, my priorities were very different. For me, the biggest issue in this election was the issue with the lack of democracy within the EU.
Lots of Trump voters say they aren't racist even when they spend half their days ranting about blacks and Mexicans.
The #1 Cause seen from exit polling for Leave. Was Immigrants.

You seem to know something, but is it just you trying to divine something out of tea leaves or actual competent thinking? How can you tell this is the futute path of the country?

This is literally a reactionary post. Of course the market was going to dive given a change almost half the country are uncertain about.
What thread? That wasn't referencing anything lol

Yeah that vote to exit was a huge pile for sure. You're right.

Save wars started under false pretenses, the Brexit might well go down as one of the worst economic decisions in post WWII history. Absolutely shocking result. Completely ruined my day. The UK will feel the economic impact for decades to come. I cannot believe people voted "leave" because of immigration.
and not the 28% of the voting populace that didn't turn up?

It was kind of known that this was going to happen
I'm not a professional in this field but whether this adjustment took place over several months or overnight (like it is now) the fact that it is adjusting to much lower levels surely must be of concern. It is indicative of low business confidence and lower investments to be made in the future (given current information and expectation of how things will pan out).

The hell do you expect? Almost half of us that voted didn't want or plan for this.
The opposition literally has no plan other than "stop letting in so many immigrants!"
Beyond that we know fuck all about how they plan to lead us forward and by the looks of things they themselves don't have a clue either.

Strugeon statement this morning
Respect to her if she goes all in and confirms moves towards another referendum.
That's giving Wilders way too much credit.

Yep. It will hurt like a bitch. Guess some people have to learn it rough.
No I'm using common sense when I say that trade between EU and the UK will continue on in one way or another. I don't think that's bullshit. Has Mercedes come out and said they don't want to sell cars to the UK anymore?
Ok, so not everyone that voted leave is a racist. Some are idiots that are happy to throw the entire country into turmoil for the sake of a protest vote
Also some are swayed by continued newspaper headlines about loss of sovreignty and bendy bananas even though they're usually made up
Better?
Gambling the future of your entire country just "to put middle finger to Cameron" would be the most dangerously childish thing I've ever heard of.
