EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

[Inseriousity.]

Yes although that wasn't much of a surprise. Very solid white working class area.

[!:random!:!]

BORIS FOR PM least he would funny I guess... I couldn't vote for remain or leave since am only 16 so... but from what I understood leaving was right to gain control over our boarders and who should enter our country (a bit like Australia) and give more money to the NHS but I believe only George Osborn can decide that? and if we stayed more immigrants would be entering the country. At the end of the day not wanting lots of immigrants in the country does not make you racist as I've seen people who supported remain calling people that voted to leave, its wanting to know who is coming in the country. I suppose you only really have to look at other independent countries and see how successful they are. I believe if I was given the choice to vote I would have voted to leave. I was speaking with my boyfriends dad today about the whole 10% decrease of the British pound and he said by middle of next month it will be back to normal again he believes this happened as many thought the country would stay in EU so made many investments through the stock market and then sold them last night when finding out we were leaving. I think all the people spitting their dummies out need to face the facts whats done is done that's end of it.

This "article" pretty much sums up the general feeling in Ireland today http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/201...kin-gobshites/

Real shame the vote has gone the way it did, hopefully the effects won't be as detrimental to us as everyone believes. Either way we may carry on!

lol omg at this e-petition:

EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

So basically, they've looked at the results/turnout. 52/48 to leave, 72% turnout and just rounded up to the closest thing. It's currently got over 150k signatures which clearly shows how stupid social media campaigns can be.[/QUOTE]

Yeah that's the one my idiot friends have been posting around as though it's somehow championing freedom and WHAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!

They prob should have asked for terms like that before the referendum, not once it's done...

Just been to Andrews dad's house and he was talking about the EU vote yesterday, he lives in Birstall, and he said there were armed police checking you before you went into the polling station. I guess they didn't wanna take any chances

Very happy with the outcome, but actually quite surprised! The coming years are going to be very exciting!

The best news yet is reading already that Commonwealth countries such as Ghana, Canada, Australia and India are already wanting to start bilateral trade agreement talks with Great Britain (we couldn't do that whilst in EU). The new PM ought to set up a Ministry of Trade and get as many signed as possible!

Ghana eager to start bilateral trade talks with Great Britain immediately

Great Britain and Ghana (former colony) are both members of the Commonwealth (centre) which is headed by Queen Elizabeth II

Hannah Tetteh, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has revealed that Ghana will begin bilateral trade agreement talks with Britain immediately.

This is after the UK voted on Thursday to exit the European Union, presenting the opportunity for Ghana to renegotiate all trade agreements done with the EU that covered the UK. It stands to reason that Ghana would seek to renegotiate these agreements with Britain alone, given that the UK may well be the single biggest trade destination for Ghana in the EU.

“Even though Britain has not formally exited the EU, and the UK remains bound by previous agreements signed under the EU, Ghana will immediately start talks with the UK on a bilateral trade agreement” she said.

Yet the Leave campaign are like "shit, we didn't think we would actually win. We better read Article 50 for the first time". Jobs are being lost.
Yes... GREAT NEWS!

The only jobs being lost are David Cameron, George Osborne and all the British MEPs.

A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom.

Apart from the market correcting itself shortly yesterday because of speculation, nothing has happened. All is well.

So you mean the GBP isn't at it's worst rate since 2009?

Also, can't MPs still ignore that and vote against leaving the EU? If majority were for remain at least.
