"...maybe even the Commonwealth..."

I knew it.

That makes zero sense

You'll see. Everybody getting serious. It has been playing around until now.

There would have been more elegant ways to handle it, but now it happened through a cold wakeup shower.

I guess there's a non zero chance that common sense prevailed then.

Your posts about Germany and the EU make zero sense and betray a complete lack of understanding of the facts.

One of the biggest economies in the EU just left. How could it be stronger? I think it's safe to say that makes no sense.

thethethe has been solidly Remain so pretty sure he read remain as leave.

One of the strongest correlations in voting is between having a degree and wanting to remain.

Gonna give andre the benefit of the doubt on being an outtard as something to do with France.

And also lol Every single person in this thread even the betting markets had this completely wrong. So explain the facts for me? Whatever that means

Some would be just ticking boxes. However, all of the arguments that I've seen put forward by economists (people that should know what they're talking about) have been on the side of remain. On the other hand leave had Gove stating that the British people have had enough of listening to experts. Any person that is completely clueless about the underlying issues should be able to look at that and make an educated decision on which argument is the correct one.

Looking at the Pound, it seems that it actually ticked up slightly when Wall Street opened. I would hate to be the trader explaining that to his boss.

I did mention before that the only good argument I had heard for us leaving was that it would be good for Europe to be rid of us. EU not in great shape though so there's risk the patient will die on the operating table.

Haha nah, I just have very little faith in the British public.

Britain has been a pain in the ass for EU for a long time. Yes, it has 17% of the economic strength https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econom...European_Union but clinging to the Pound and not Euro must have caused damage along the way, just to take one example. Now the ones that are left will be committed. And new motivated members will be coming.

jezebel is very similar to the onion

lol though ****ing incredible that the debate was, again:

LIBTARDS:"Leave is a terrible idea, the people voting for it are doing it out of rank xenophobia, it will crater the economy


SMART LOGICAL INTERNET GUYS: "A classic ad hominem fallacy. Actually there are many reasons to vote leave and it's awful to call people racist, Leaving is good for the economy."

Is it possible that people without degrees might have it a bit too bad in euroland ?

Man very exciting that this thread has attracted so many of our SMPier fellow 2p2ers to share their particular brand of insight, but check out this dude's avatar and read his posts in this thread.

As much as I dont care for his brand of politics your being a bit fair comparing him to Erdoğan

flywf, i'm entertained, please go on.

Hope you'll survive. It was not your fault.

EU got amputated, but it may have been a leg with gangrene.

I was just making a note, there's no real elaboration.

Back to the point, I can see this backfiring badly on Trump and the GOP. Remember, a huge partisan divide here is that liberals are empirical pragmatists who form policy based around science, and conservatives are ideological zealots who reject all sorts of science if that science tells them their policies are bad.

The "economists say Remain" vs. "Your gut says Leave, what do those eggheads know, that's how we go into this mess" debate seems to be on the way to getting settled in favor of people who know what they are talking about.

It might spook some soft Trumpers into taking this **** more seriously.

so much anger, get rekt globalist pigs

next up more counties leaving

Splitting EU would be as crazy as splitting the US into 50 states.

Nah, next up a tighter union without the UK holding it back

Lol at the comments itt. Seems as if people would much prefer a dictatorship (left center or right leaning doesn't matter) than a democracy. That's scary.

The fact is: the majority of voters clearly felt / were tired of having a foreign body dictate laws/ regulations that they did not agree with.

Give them props for having the balls, for swinging for the fences for something they want to change.

Sovereignty > worthless paper with imaginary value dropping
