BREXIT - leave or remain?

[Roggendorf]

You sure showed those liberals what for by blowing your economy up.

Except the people blowing up the economy are the same people who were pushing for open borders and mass immigration - big business, big banks, international rootless elites. It's pure market manipulation and attempted punishment for daring to vote against the globalist project.

[Joresh]

Yup, and oldish people voted to leave. Way to screw up the future generations.

ya, fuck democracy

[Tempguy]

Rating agency S&P confirmed that the UK is likely to lose its final AAA credit rating.

This is fine. Everything is proceeding smoothly.

America lost its. America is okay.

The potential secession of Scotland.
The potential secession of Northern Ireland.

You forget all the points they will lose in Eurovision!

[Bollocks]

old people who, im majority, voted to leave, mostly because they're stupid (i think) or simply because they want to reap anything that remains, and f*ck up the younger generations

I stayed up all night watching sky news as the votes came in, it was very close and intense!

What you don't get it. UK fisherman don't need quotas now and can empty the north and Irish seas like they always wanted to. Leaving them without work

Great plan. So in 10 years they will be empty and all of them will lose their jobs?

Dont you think there is some sense for the existence of these quotas? There are a lot of examples.

[Tradewind]

I can't blame them. The refugee crisis in Europe is all thanks to the EU imposing refugee quotas.

Which is complete horse shit anyway as any impending EU/UK trade arrangements will likely restore freedom of movement. Look at Norway.

[Aberrict]

They would just use a booming economy as an excuse for accepting more mass migration anyways.

Those darn Polish plumbers!

BBC just said the most of the young people voted to remain.

Age breakdown:

[Tempguy]

We will see what might be in june 2017. There will be some heavy consequences in the next months. There will be pretty surely no stable government so there will have to be reelections. And a lot of very well paid jobs will leave the UK.

Prices for imported goods will be raised dramatically. Jobs gone - less tax income. There will be no big investments for a very long time. Everything will lead to damatic cuts in social systems.

And who will be the one to blame once this happens what pretty much every ecoconomist predicts?

evonomists predict a lot of shit that doesn't happen.

If millenials are significantly smarter they should have no problem making the UK more prosperous than ever.

America lost its. America is okay.

America can bully it's way around however it wants tho.

UK doesn't have that power.

[Thepersona]

Its amazing how much power that man has. Sadly he still gets his say with Australian politics.

why he can't just die
PS: yes i know wanting someone to die is bad, but man, we're talking about rupert murdoch! he's like evil incarnate

If millenials are significantly smarter they should have no problem making the UK more prosperous than ever.

it's hard to do that when the conditions are stacked against you. and it will be much harder in the short-medium term

[ati87]

Yes, since EU was totally listening UK night and day /s

And why should countries like Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium listen to the English night and day?

[Rend Blackhand]

Yup, and oldish people voted to leave. Way to screw up the future generations.

How about a different perspective.

Older people voted in the referendum to join the EEC in 1973. Europe has changed dramatically since then and the economic community that they voted for has been replaced by something entirely different with near supreme power.

[Shadowmelded]

I can't blame them. The refugee crisis in Europe is all thanks to the EU imposing refugee quotas.

There was no quota for the UK.

[muto]

UK had nothing to do with that.

I never said it did. Just pointing out that the EU has too much power in matters they shouldn't even have a say in.

[Mormolyce]

Why is it that something as meaningless as who gets to host the world cup goes to multiple rounds of voting, and yet something as huge as this just gets the one?

Because referenda are retarded.

[Azrile]

I'm just curious..why are the ones who wanted to leave "stupid"? I mean, it's a difference of opinions.

I know at this point that it's really neither here nor there, but generally speaking, name-calling people you don't want to vote in a certain manner doesn't really accomplish that goal... You don't change minds when you call people stupid, backward, uneducated, and suggest they just "don't understand" what they're doing. Odds are, they have a good grasp of what they're doing, and they probably also have solid reasons - in their minds - for wanting to leave. That doesn't make them stupid, it means they have a different perspective.

There has always been two sides. The leavers always admitted that there would be an economic hit, but that it was worth having their sovereignty back along with more power to control their immigration policy.

The problem is that much of that very honest intellectual argument in favor of leaving, simply got drowned out when the main ´marketing´ of leavers basically turned into racism. And really, because it was only a 1-2% victory, my opinion is that the whole racism and hate-mongering probably did put it over the top. The leavers would have lost the intellectual debate, so they went with posters of lines of immigrants that looked like an invasion of the UK.

We were not subject to refugee quotas anyway, Ireland and us have different border policies to the rest of the EU.
