Excellent poll, especially Departugal.

Got a generous chuckle out of me.

Don't think anyone will leave. EU will make sure by making the English bleed if they want to get a trade deal.

Well that's my question. What do the consequences look like? How hard would the EU want to hit the UK?

 

[SporeCrawler]

No one. They will wait and see how the UK fares

Well that's my question. What do the consequences look like? How hard would the EU want to hit the UK?

Pretty hard. They have an incentive to make UK regret it also to scare other members from leaving

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Someone vote for Oustria




Czechout ftw

 

[Vampirolol]

Many in Italy would love to exit but I think that right now the sentiment may still be in favor of the EU. The system needs to be reformed though, ASAP.

 

[dracula_x]

Would be silly to leave before waiting and seeing what happens to the UK.

Yep. It would be stupid to leave now.

 

[Xando]

Reading a positioning paper from the german finance minister seems to suggest they wouldn't make any concessions to keep others from going the same way.

I would think the are others going even harder on the UK.

So either the UK accepts free movement or they won't get a single market.

If they accept that they basically left but got the same rules with less of a voice in the EU

 

[Always-honest]

"the Ditch" ?, haha.

Anyway, it's probably England begging to come back.

 

[sora87]

I hope other countries populations aren't as stupid as ours

 

[KingSnake]

Actually this October in Italy we'll have one of the most important referendum in our history.

I thought it was clear from the context that I was talking about referenda regarding the exit from EU.

Referendums don't happen solely due to election pledges..

A referendum happens if someone calls it. That someone needs to be usually a head of state. Luckily there won't be the case anytime soon for the ones quoted in the OP. And after Brexit I don't think any of the normal politicians will be as reckless as Cameron.

Opposite feeling Vamp: leave will win. The system need to be reformerd, e we must create the united state of europe and there is not such occasion like this one

 

[Red Arremer]

I see it being the Netherlands, Sweden or Austria tbh.

Luxembourg

I know it's a joke answer, but probably not.

 

[SJRB]

I definately expect a lot of traction for a Dutch exit referendum. Even though the prime-minister said not many people would be interested in one while a national enquiry learnt that at least 52% would be interested in a similar referendum.

 

[nature boy]

No country with the Euro, don''t care what some idiot politician says.

 

[fabricated backlash]

I know it's a joke answer, but probably not.

Austria yeah... they'd be delusional enough to believe they'd survive that.

 

[Vampirolol]

Opposite feeling Vamp: leave will win. The system need to be reformerd, e we must create the united state of europe and there is not such occasion like this one

If we leave for that reason then I'm all in for leaving, but I feel like the system can be reformed without stepping out.

 

[ebil]

France isn't going to happen anytime soon unless Marine Le Pen wins next year's election (and if that happens we're screwed in more ways than one). Everyone else is largely pro-EU.

 

[Dennis]

When the Netherlands and Denmark have left the EU as well they should join a union with the UK.

 

[Akiraptor]

It depends on how the EU handles the UK. If they're kind, it might encourage others to seek independence, which is why I'm betting they won't be.

Other countries will definitely explore the option though, especially ones with powerful movements on the right. The pendulum swings back.

 

[DrFurbs]

After seeing what is happening in UK right now, they would be mighty stupid to.

Why , what's going on?

 

[JDB]

Us (Netherlands) leaving would be the dumbest thing considering how small we are and how much we rely on trade, but I'm sure it'll somehow happen.

 

[nature boy]

Folks, you cannot leave the EU and continue to have the euro as your currency.

 

[KingSnake]

Why , what's going on?

 

[Abstrusity]

Can we blame David Cameron for this?

You could even make a song by taking the James Cameron song from that one south park episode and substitute "James" for "Dave."

Either way, I sure can't wait to visit the dilapidated hollows of what used to be a first world continent.

 

[Crayolan]

Thumbs up for "The Ditch" and "Departugal"

Portugal:
the Far-Right anti-EU parties in Portugal have no representation

the establishment Right coalition is Pro-EU (now sitting as main opposition)

the establishment Center-Left party is Pro-EU but have formed a coalition government with two Far-Left parties who are anti-EU

if Portugal ever decides to leave the EU, it will happen from the Far-Left not the Far-Right.

not going to happen. Portugal is a relatively centrist country that swings from Center-Left to Center-Right like a ping pong

---------

Spain however is more volatile politically, FunkyPapa would be best versed at explain it

Germany. Trump's an expert on German nationalists.

Trump also predicted the unraveling of the EU, saying, “It looks like it’s on its way and we’ll see what happens.” Trump said he knows many Germans who are fanatically patriotic — “to a level you wouldn’t believe” — and that, fed up with immigration, he could see them supporting a German exit, a move that would deprive the union of its most important member.

Funny because even far right alternative for Germany want to stay in

 

[Frankfurter]

No one.

 

[ElTorro]

No KrOUT option for DeutschGAF?

 

[Bonfires Down]

Hey, you forgot us swedes.

Not that I think it would happen anytime soon, but here is part of a recent article:

But the numbers could change if Britain leaves the EU. In that case, more people in the survey want to leave the EU than those who want to stay. 32 percent would vote in favor of continued membership, while 36 percent would vote no. Almost as many, 32 percent, are uncertain.

 

[sinxtanx]

Departugal

 

[unrealist]

Sorry for being a naive guy living in the East .. I see many people posting the UK as a country .. isn't the UK a state with 4 countries?

 

[Khaz]

Hey, you forgot us swedes.

Swedone ?

 

[Arksy]

Swedone ?

I'm partial to Swexit myself. D:

 

[Venom Fox]

After seeing what is happening in UK right now, they would be mighty stupid to.

Why what's happening? Cameron quitting? Oh you mean the markets? The ones that nearly fully recovered hours after...

 

[Kyoufu]

Gonna have to go with Thor 2 here.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

No country with the Euro, don''t care what some idiot politician says.

Not even Greece? I could see that happening tbh.

 

[Caronte]

If nothing happens to the economy of the UK, everyone most likely. The EU will implode.

 

[Regiruler]

Where is Thor 2

 

[Venom Fox]

If nothing happens to the economy of the UK, everyone most likely. The EU will implode.

Nothing will happen. After today's market recovery I expect we will be fine in the long run.

 

[nature boy]

Not even Greece? I could see that happening tbh.

Greek people spoke loud and clear last year, they don't want to leave the Euro.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Nothing will happen. After today's market recovery I expect we will be fine in the long run.

...There is no reason to think that. No good reason to expect the opposite either but the effects of the UK leaving the EU won't be seen until they, well, leave the EU.

 

[KingSnake]

the effects of the UK leaving the EU won't be seen until they, well, leave the EU.

They will be seen before that, but you don't relocate companies over night.

 

[fabprems]

"Check out" got my vote, I mean, I don't know how this not lead the poll right now !

 

[funkystudent]

Departugal is my favourite so ill vote for that.

 

[FreezeSSC]

You know Russia's gotta be loving it right now.

 

[TaterTots]

I keep seeing posts saying its the right wing republicans wanting out. Can someone give me a brief description of why? I can barely keep up with U.S. politics as is.
