It won't be sold like that by the major European partier or their press. It'll be sold as "Do we really want to leave and end up like Britain?", the same way Greece was sold to the UK public as having gone to shit solely because of the EU.
So nothing planned for after a win...dayum.
there will definitely be a domino effect, some people will lose their jobs and watch the NHS still crash and burn.
The amount of people I know who have voted leave is staggering and when I ask why, it's "immigrants stealing all of our jobs" and "my doctors has a 5 day waiting list because of these immigrants"
I digress.
Because people have never closed the door behind them?

The stability in the EU is indeed a problem, but this problem is caused by lack of democracy, it's not just the people of the UK who are fed up with the way the EU treats 'it's' citizens. Of course the non-elected politicians would like to punish the British for beeing democratic and make them less powerfull. But free trade, and I don't mean treaty's like TTIP which are just partly about free trade and more about shifting power to multinational company's, is by nature benificial to both parties.
The EU really needs the popular support on the continent, especially now they've lost it in Britain. It would be very dangerous for the powers in the EU to sacrifice the interests of the remaining people to punish the UK and scare off other populations who might consider an exit.
Because apparently the Tory cuts have nothing to do with these pressures and it's all down to immigration you see.
It's not how they'd like it to be sold, it doesn't mean the Euro skeptics aren't going to use it though. 'better together' didn't quite have the impact the Remain party thought it would have.
No there's isn't a fecking plan at all.
We don't even know who's going to make the plan that doesn't exist yet to lead us through this mess since Cameron had no desire to leave in the first place and his position as PM has taken a massive hit anyway.
Just got up and can't believe this result - why would you want to bankrupt your own country, you have to be seriously stupid.
Well the money that was going to be spent on the NHS has already gone up in smoke but why listen to people who know what they're talking about.

The difference is all of Europe is watching us sprint into a recession.
That's us! Fancy negotiating a trade deal with this island of imbeciles? Hey come back...
So how is it racist?
People being worried about immigration are not racist.
The weak remain campaign was at fault and they didn't discuss immigration. Cameron and Corbyn are at fault for this.
Really? Explain why, because no one can possibly predict that.
The people I feel sorry for are one that voted remain. The pain is coming.
The markets and the pound have already, in just a few hours, fallen more than they did at the last recession, you have to back decades to find comparable examples. Be a miracle if it doesn't happen.
According to the Lisbon treaty they only have 2 years for that.
I think that Scotland should be governed by it's own parliament and that parliament alone, the same as England. The current system of Holyrood, Westminster, Brussels is a dysfunctional mess that if it did not already exist, nobody sane would propose it. It does little but make politicians, yours and mine, less accountable and therefore disenfranchises us.
Going out now.
I feel numb, can someone hold.me...
I'm very sad here (and angry). The UK will now fall into a black hole of its own making. Disastrous, and the worst thing that's happened to my country in my lifetime.
Explain why we won't go into a recession. Because no one from leave can predict that either.
Yeah seriously, so many racists have come out of the woodwork in my circles. I honestly have not met anyone who could give a solid, intelligent reason for leaving, it's all "too many immigrants" and "I don't trust these what these eggheads say" and "I'm fed up of the EU telling us what to do". Then I ask what what the EU tells us to do and they don't really know. They mutter something about bananas or something. I really don't want to be elitist and be all "everyone who voted different to me is an idiot" but literally everyone I know who voted leave doesn't have a damn clue about anything. This much is true with the people I know at least. I would be fine with this if I'd felt the country had made this decision based on sound logic and economic forecasts, but so many clearly have not.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this map not show Remain winning, or having down well, in areas were immigrants actually live and overwhelming Leave majorities in rural and semi-rural locations where immigrants don't live? The only place that doesn't seem true of is Birmingham, but even then its a close to 50/50 split.

If you can't see the amount of underlying racism in this vote then your either blind or stupid. People have a right to want to sort out immigration but when you see some people's comments on social media or the like, it clear that race has played a massive part in this vote.
Of they have, that was expected. And, as expected, they'll bounce back within the foreseeable future.

I completely agree with this and match your sentiment. Everyone I have spoken too that is leaving has a view showered in underlying racist views or are simply abit thick and uniformed. It's one of the most frustrating situations I've ever been in to see those people become a majority thought, when I thought Britain was a more intelligent nation that that.
Exactly. There is a distinct possibly that it could happen, but it's certainly not a sure thing as being claimed.
I'd say so.
Feel a bit sick tbh.
I don't share the popular opinion on here of recessions and a ruined economy but I did have a bid accepted on a house which I'm now going to have to withdraw

You don't see the hypocrisy in generalising Leavers as racist?
Ink on votes was barely dry before Farrage started rowing back on promises the Leave side made. And the votes were written in pencil...
Scroll down a bit on this - http://www.theguardian.com/politics...un/23/eu-referendum-live-results-and-analysis - bottom right chart.
A lot more in the remain half where there's higher numbers born outside the UK.
Clearest correlation by far though is qualifications.
A low pound is good for export. If a small part of the money going around in the City would end up as real investment and the English would actually start producing stuff people around the world want to have, that's an advantage.
These 'markets' of yours are people who spend considerable amounts of money to do exit polls so they have the knowlegde a few hours earlier so than can make billions in the time in between. You should wonder how important they really are for your economy.
Unfortunately, in a close-run poll, the ones who are racist have probably made the difference.
Why?Feel a bit sick tbh.

Au revoir connards!
I've read Lord of the Flies and know what goes on when you're trapped on an island with pig head obsessed public schoolboys. Time for an in-company transfer and French or Belgian citizenship.
