    Maw, whatever happens in the end the damage overall is done.

    Nobody outside the leave campaign wants to play this cat and mouse game, thats why the EU is pushing for a swift exit

    You must realize that UK was receiving money for Scotland from the EU. That money - with the Brexit - will be gone.

    Will England pay that same money to Scotland from her own pocket? Wouldn't it be better to let Scotland go? From your posts, they seem to be a liability in every aspect and England would be better off without them.

    The EU has made it abundantly clear that it desires a quick resolution, one that respects the result of the referendum. That sounds really like they don't consider this salvageable.

    It is also interesting to read all the armchair politicians and EU apologists here, completely unable to see any flaws or faults. All those anti-EU parties and ever incrasing number of people fed up with the EU are 'uneducated idiots' though - right?

    Not how the budget works.

    Pop Quiz for all the "highly-educated" BRemain supporters:
    - What does that number represent?
    Nothing absolutely nothing.

    We know what Germany is "buying" with those 15bn a year... what was Britain buying?
    The ability to easily sell shit made outside of the EU or facilitate non EU companies to do so in the EU.

    There being a legal requirement on you to join, is not the same thing as you being made to join post haste.

    The EU employs 40 something thousand bureaucrats - That's one for every 50 000 people in the EU - Want to know how many the civil service employs?

    Maybe because 75% of those flaws are made up?

    I couldn't be bothered to get into arguing its merits properly. The film maker is someone who found that being in the Revolutionary Communist Party didn't piss enough people off so he became a climate change denier instead..... he's clocked up a few broadcasting standards rulings too. What I did watch of it was utter balls made to appeal to "a certain type"

    Second ref then, when the risks are so easy on display even a dead amoeba would consider any further process of abandoning EU a mistake.

    The vote was not binding, it could be ignored at will.
    Unlikely outright, more likely if there is a call for a new election, whereupon some parties might simply decide to come out and say we wont honor it, and if they win, it might very well be dead.

    The vote was never binding. The parliament is the one that has to actually form a proper resolution here to exit. The problem is they know if they vote for that they go down as the biggest morons in history and will be lynched either way. If they don't do it they will always hear why didn't you. If they do it the inevitable economic situation down the line will cause the uneducated to be pissed as well. Usually, in a proper country, you require a 2/3 majority to make sweeping changes to the system. The UK banks on the house of lords / the queen to do that in a constitutional sense. Since that is pretty much unprecedented that they actually veto a resolution and they face the same issue the House of Commons (your run of the mill voted in parliament) faces, it's questionable if they will actually do that.

    I've read a couple of articles and commentaries from various experts and it's pretty clear overall that the only chance this will be resolved is if they have new (general) elections and make the brexit thing part of the party programs. Just electing a new prime minister (which is what Cameron currently plans) is not going to solve this at all, it just stalls, as it is a party internal thing. The issue with that is, that even if they do that, they will strengthen UKIP (the racist party) further, which they don't want either. So no matter what they do, the ones who decide will have heavy political losses, which makes this such a fascinating display of political ineptitude. Cameron gambled high, and not on lost his house, he accidentally set the whole town ablaze. What a time to be alive :P.

    it's not their call. And EU doesnt advise UK about respecting ref or not.

    Hooligans are contentious, violent, loud, disruptive, racist, and some, i assume, are nice people.
