Don't forget the main thing - you will keep the payments and the immigration :-) Plus you have to keep the regulations, but not the institutions, as now, you will not be able to influence the regulations :-) What a nice BREXIT! :-) At least, you have earned one good thing - THE INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! | ||

Uk politics are such a mess, and I think that can be best demonstrated by asking if there is anyone in the country that is currently pleased with the state of affairs. There seems to be no plan or anything in place, and I feel like that country is in limbo. Ignoring whether I want to be part of the EU or not, I want 2 viable parties, of which we currently only have one in England, and I want the process of leaving the EU to begin, now that that is the path we have chosen. | ||

The SNP are watching the English majority disqualify themselves from being allowed to make decisions for Scotland. | ||

"The pound remains higher than it was in 2013 and 2014," the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip said in the article, as he made the case that risks associated with Brexit have been "wildly overdone." Johnson did not clarify against which currency he was measuring, and as the pound weakened further in this morning's trading his assertion left many scratching their heads. The pound is much stronger, since 2013, against the Ukranian hryvnia, Kazahkstan's tenge, and Mozambique's metical—yet that may owe more to localized problems (war, devaluation, and a commodity rout) than reflect any kind of confidence in the U.K. economy. Crucially, Johnson's assertion is also true against the dollar—but the dollars of Namibia, Jamaica, and Suriname rather than the usual yardstick (the world's most-traded currency), the dollar of the United States. Against the U.S. currency, the sterling was, by 9:50 a.m. in London, at 1.3359, set for its lowest closing level in more than 30 years. www.bloomberg.com What a guy. | ||

I'd be able to understand the leave vote a bit more if there was less racist bigotry and anything greater than total incompetence from any of the main parties. | ||

Cameron just spoke in parliament. Respect the decision and uk decides when to leave. Looks like a 2nd vote is off the table,it would have been rather ridiculous anyway. So now we have 3 months in limbo I guess,time enough to find someone who dares to trigger article 50. Or is it? All this nonsense that nay sayers are racist bigots and what not. That,s a good way to make sure the eu will never criticize and improve itself. Those people are just as narrow minded and stuck in their vision of the world as the nay sayers. Against eu? Oh,then you must be a racist bigot And not to forget, have low education as well. lol stereo types. Not only racist bigots use them. | ||

This is the exact situation they're hoping to avoid. This is the case study people will refer to in the future to show why not to hold referendums on important shit. In other news RBS and Barclays have suspended trading after stock prices plummeted. | ||

Good luck folks, it sounds like its going to be a nightmare for the next year or more. The only government resignation is Cameron's and that's just announced, not actual. This is the shadow cabinet. Completely different. I can explain how parliamentary government works if you like. | ||

They are the just the opposition pretending they have a government aswell from which they criticize those actually in power. That is why they all resign so easily. The position is mostly meaningless anyway. | ||

They get to speak at the dispatch box responding or asking questions to the government. At the moment the opposition has no official spokes people for large swathes of policy, today Emily Thornberry now shadow foreign secretary had to respond to defence questions because the shadow defence minister wasn't around. | ||
