This guy here says brexit won't happen because US and Germany will do everything we can to stop it. Yeah, that will make us some friends...

Firstly that was a sky poll and hasn't been confirmed by numbers.
Secondly, how the hell do you know who it is googling about the EU?
I feel sorry for all the students who were given a referendum smack bang in the middle of the most important part of the year, I know my cousin was too busy with exams to get involved, although he personally would have voted leave :P.
Britain will weasel themselves out of this one. The earlier election date (from November to Spetember) could indicate that. To me, September is too far away, for politicans, not so much. The Labour party is expected to axe Jeremy Corbyn tomorrow, so they need a new ringleader, who needs to be presented to the public as a person who could handle this mess. In basically NO TIME AT ALL.
The torys, whom do they have ? How can it be Boris Johnson, the coward who went into hiding for the whole weekend, the face of Brexit ? September is looming around the corner and - surprise surprise - Britain is not prepared, because - surprise surprise - british politicans on the 23.06. expected business as usual on monday the 27.06. and not the it-would-be-funny-if-it-didn't-hurt-so-bad mess, we're ALL in now. Okay, mostly Europe, some experts already said that US markets won't suffer long from the Brexit vote.
It would be reckless, self-destructive and completely incomprehensible if the Brits would let Brexit happen and that's the tragedy of the whole thing.
That the referendum was nothing but a very expensive and still costly absurdity exercise.
The hard part is who has enough balls to take us out the eu and convince everybody all will be fine
Ppl mix things up. Having control over your own currency have benefits ... as well as weaknesses. If it is shared currency, it's hard to manipulate it by external forces and it's more stable for businesses. If it is state controlled, it's posslible for the country to control it to its benefit when things go wrong.
It's not a black and white matter either way. Blatantly stating that weaker currency is better is stupid, so is thinking euro is best for everyone.
My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
There is no excuse for not voting. You could even vote by post, I haven't been registered to vote for a decade and getting signed up took me approximately 2 mins. If you didn't vote there isn't any excuse in the world for it......unless you were in a coma for the past 2 months, then you can have a pass!
I think he's spot on.
Nothing starts until Article 50 is activated by the British government. Is a new PM really going to do that in September? Inaugurate what they hope will be a long tenure by starting an economic melt down in the UK that will see markets fall, again, the country slide into recession, and likely more credit downgrades? I seriously doubt it.
Referendums don't always get it right. California passed Proposition 22 in 2000 that restricted gay marriage for 8 years. Heck half of California's, one of the world's largest economies, government funding problems comes from a 1970s era property taxes referendum result.
The US and Germany should strangle the Brexit notion in it's crib. It's pushers had no plan. The consequences are just starting to come into focus. For somethat that isn't legally binding, let's call it a European wake up call and forget it ever happened.
