BREXIT - leave or remain?

Europe just needs to go back to the way it was before, with everyone living in their indigenous homelands and everybody respecting each other's borders....

When the fuck did that happen?

You mean Germany getting back their Eastern territories and France getting back Algeria? Sounds good.

Can you be in the EZ without being in the EU? I'm fairly certain that being part of the EU is by definition a requirement to have the Euro. Though I'm not sure if they foresaw someone leaving the EU when the drafted the Maastrich criteria.

It isn't, see that graph posted a few pages back by Greymane.

Fuck no, we didn't want the part of the east back that the Russians drove into the ground, no need for the others, really. We are good.

Well, they drove the GDR into the ground too, and you still took it back.

Monaco, Andorra, San Marino, Vatican State are all examples of non-EU euro states.

So you mean going back to something that never happened? Heck, the First and Second World Wars happened because border issues.

Hmm, there is a reason for that though. They were either granted special rights because they were fiscally linked to an EU country or are part of a (former) colony. I guess from there you could make an argument either way, though from the official EU link it seems like they were granted special permissions because other countries stood in for them.

During The black plague maybe

Because they are fiscally tied with some other states.

My sincerest condolences to everyone who was smart enough to not buy into the fear-mongering and lies - and who voted for Remain. I honestly feel bad for you, because you really got screwed over by others who are either uninformed or thought they could teach the government a lesson at a time where it was absolutely stupid.

I'd say I hope those people enjoy the consequences of their foolishness, but seeing that almost every second person wanted to stay in the EU...I am just sorry for the ones who tried to prevent this from happening.

Yes, other states could do that too, though :P

The EU itself will want to punish britain

The Eu itself has next to no power.

but sadly i doubt the national goverments of europe will stick by the eu when it needs them. they will probally give the uk a good deal from what i read,

Where? because the are literally zero reasons to think that.

Customs taxes. Not that will happen, but UK is ~45% dependent on EU for exports.

Woke up the other day and just laughed for a bit, they've actually gone and done it the stupid bastards. My god the fallout is going to be more beautiful than all the stars in the sky.

Great Britain indeed.

Long live an Independent Scotland!

Damn, Germany and France don't like the EU that much and they're like the EU. Why not just dismantle the EU, and make something everyone wants? EU2?

because people are idiots, and because most politicians have spent decades blaming the EU instead of owning up to their shit.

I hope Scotland will indeed say "Screw you" this time and not let England and Wales drag them down and away from the EU. No reason to suffer because of others' foolishness.
