Nothing really. We might see another referendum in months to come.

I am not sure about Ireland and Wales that they too want to stay in EU as you were saying.

 

[Blue Marlin]

Well I am divided on the question.

On one side I am for a referendum,as the people should have their voices listened,but the french being even more anti-EU than the brits,I fear a Frexit and all the consequences that would follow.....
-
To survive in this century,we need to be an united and powerful bloc but still want the EU to be refounded and to have a new treaty if it wants to survive,if it doesn't more and more people and countries would want to leave the EU.. And if the UK does better outisde,the others would say 'Look at the UK,why not us ?'
-

YES YES YES I said that Scots did wanted to stay and there may be another referendum about staying in UK or not. The thing i doubt is the Irish and Wales population wants the same (i might be wrong there). Not about Scotland. We all know about it.

@MarkusS what is happening to the unity of EU ? next what france leaving to ?

 

[mike2000 is back]

Wow. Couldnt believe that England voted leave considering how gibralter voted remain with 94 percent last night and everywhere remain was picking pace. Shocking result.

As for David Cameroon. A lot of respect. He realized that the majority didn't agree with him thus needed a new leader that could lead britian to glory on their decision. He knew he was unfit for the job. Pakistan, no the subcontinent, no the entire third world countries wouldn't see such leaders in a thousand years who quit based upon differences with majority of the people. Very much respect.

Assad can quit

Well I am divided on the question.

Lol You think the E.U will reform?? You heard what Junker said to us before the vote? Lool
Good luck with that.

i was never comparing them. All i was doing was praising this bold and honest step by him, something i can only wish for in our politicians!

To be fair though, you cant compare an ultra developed country to an underdeveloped country ruled by despotic corrupt dictators. Third world/developing countries/regions need decades maybe even a century to reach such political maturity. but I believe they too will one day get there

Let the show begin!
British Pound hits lowest in decades

quoted from the article ' hit its lowest level since the 1985 Plaza Accord'

did you short the pound?
i did...$$$$$$$chaching......

 

[Tripoli]

did you short the pound?
i did...$$$$$$$chaching......

Nope. Congratulations though. You just profited off the stupidity of the Brexit voters.

 

[ultron]

EU has become too political. Europe is made up of many ethnicities. To have a political union was the mistake. Economic union OK, but nothing beyond that.

 

[Peacefu1]

The British people have voted to leave the EU. So what happens now? Later this morning Prime Minister David Cameron will address the nation outside 10 Downing Street. There is much speculation about his future, but he will probably seek first to reassure people.
He is likely emphasise that the process for leaving the EU set out in the treaty takes at least two years, and that very little will change during that time.

However, the pound is already falling on the foreign exchange markets. The markets think that Brexit is bad for the economy, and so investors are likely to want to move their money out of the UK.
More expensive foreign holidays

The Prime Minister will probably say that the Government stands ready to do whatever it takes to protect the British economy, but there are limits to what it could actually do. George Osborne’s threat to bring in an emergency Budget would probably be downplayed until the effects of the Brexit vote become clearer.

Britain has voted to leave the European Union

In the meantime it will be up to the Bank of England to intervene in the foreign exchange markets – by buying pounds – to try to stabilise its value.
The first practical effect of a vote to Leave, therefore, is that the pound will be worth less abroad, meaning foreign holidays will cost us more.

6 ways Britain leaving the EU will affect you

No immediate change in immigration status

The Prime Minister will have to address other immediate concerns. He is likely to reassure nationals of other EU countries living in the UK that their status is unchanged. That is what the Leave campaign has said, so, even after the Brexit negotiations are complete, those who are already in the UK would be allowed to stay.

As Jonathan Portes, the former Treasury economist, wrote, “given we have no population register, and that EU nationals are not required to have visas, we won’t actually know who is here on 23 June”. Portes says the most likely arrangement is that suggested by Steven Woolf, UKIP’s migration spokesman, that anyone who’d registered for a National Insurance number before the referendum would be guaranteed residence rights.

For the two years of Brexit negotiations, free movement of EU workers would still apply, so people could still come from elsewhere in the EU, but their immigration status after Brexit would be uncertain.


Higher inflation

A lower pound means that imports would become more expensive. This is likely to mean the return of inflation – a phenomenon with which many of us are unfamiliar because prices have been stable for so long, rising at no more than about 2 per cent a year.
The effect may probably not be particularly noticeable in the first few months. At first price rises would be confined to imported goods – food and clothes being the most obvious – but inflation has a tendency to spread and to gain its own momentum.
Some economists may even welcome a small dose of inflation as a good thing, because it stimulates economic activity and prevents a slowdown in the economy turning into a slump or a Japanese-style long-term stagnation.
Interest rates might rise

The trouble with inflation is that the Bank of England has a legal obligation to keep it as close to 2 per cent a year as possible. If a fall in the pound threatens to push prices up faster than this, the Bank will raise interest rates.
This acts against inflation in three ways. First, it makes the pound more attractive, because deposits in pounds will earn higher interest. Second, it reduces demand by putting up the cost of borrowing, and especially by taking larger mortgage payments out of the economy. Third, it makes it more expensive for businesses to borrow to expand output.
Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, and his Monetary Policy Committee may face a dilemma. In a few months’time, inflation may be rising and the economy may already be entering a recession. So, if interest rates do rise, they may not go up by much.

Did somebody say recession?

Mr Carney, the Treasury and a range of international economists have warned about this. Many Leave voters appear not to have believed them, or to think that they are exaggerating small, long-term effects. But there is no doubt that the Leave vote is a negative shock to the economy.
This is because it changes expectations about the economy’s future performance. Even though Britain is not actually be leaving the EU for at least two years, companies and investors will start to move money out of Britain, or to scale back plans for expansion, because they are less confident about what would happen after 2018.


If Leave wins on Thursday, Boris would call an early election

This change in expectations and confidence could have quite a sharp effect on the economy, affecting investment decisions and jobs straight away – indeed there is evidence that the uncertainty about the referendum has already had an effect.

And we wouldn’t even get our money back

All this will be happening while the Prime Minister, whoever he or she is, is negotiating the terms of our future access to the EU single market. In the meantime, our trade with the EU would be unaffected, except that companies elsewhere in the EU may be less interested in buying from us or selling to us, expecting tariff barriers to go up in two years’ time.

Whoever the Chancellor is, he or she may feel the need to bring in a new Budget. George Osborne’s forecasts will soon be shot to pieces by the stalling of the economy, but it would probably be unwise to increase taxes or to cut spending in response. A July emergency Budget is unlikely. If adjustments have to be made, they can probably wait until the Autumn Statement.

And all that extra money that the Leave campaign claims would flow into the NHS and cheaper energy bills would not be available for some time. We have to continue paying our net contribution to EU funds – it’s about half what the Leave campaign said, but it is still half of one per cent of our national income – until the deal is done and we cease to be EU members.

PM Cameron is a wise man

He knows that a S*** storm is coming to UK

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Good never liked him actually. He was pro Indian anyways.

 

[EasyNow]

This was a terrible mistake, we live in a global world today and we have to learn to work with each other. This is a huge step backwards into the old, closed off world that we worked so hard to change.

The consequences are getting clearer too: £ has dived, Scotland will probably leave the UK, France has announced it will remove border security in calais - so refugees can simply get on a boat and come to England. The EU will be unforgiving to the UK, they will make life hard for us to set an example.
