BREXIT Discussion v2.0: In Stunning Decision, Britain Votes to Leave the European Union.

Once Britain invokes Article 50, it will have a two-year window in which to negotiate a new treaty to replace the terms of EU membership. Britain and EU leaders would have to hash out issues like trade tariffs, migration, and the regulation of everything from cars to agriculture.

So it's going to be two fucking years before people are deported or any new immigration rules are enforced?

so are all the economic deals the uk had with the eu are basically gone? how long will it take to negotiate deals? they will be lucky if they even come close to the deals they had before.

Wasn't there a massive Scottish deficit this year though? Almost entirely attributable to the fall of oil prices? Considering the current oil market (not to mention the examples of other nations overly dependent on oil for their economic and political solvency), it's not exactly a pressing case for independence. Especially when the nationalist/independence ideology is blunted by appealing to the desire to stay in the EU.

It just doesn't make much sense to me. Even less than the Brexit.
Practically speaking.

yeah but if we had control of our resources we wouldve had an oil fund setup to counter any negative dips in the oil prices(similar to how Norway established their oil fund). Instead the UK government has pissed all the money away.

if donald trump didnt have that ridiculous spray on tan hed look just like boris johnson

who cares what a random south african thinks Scots should do? like your opinion is going to sway any of us lol

Hahaha!!!
Poor baby, did I hurt your delicate Scottish feelings? Shame.

So I woke up and we're not in the EU anymore. Does this mean we're all racist now? If it does, I'm game. I've always wanted to have a go at the Greeks. They invented gayness.

As long as the SNP no longer projects to sell your North Sea oil at $100/barrel to balance your budget and pay for your social programs, or Scotland might end up as the Venezuela of Europe:

In a way, Scotland is lucky that the independence vote failed. The optimistic financial numbers presented by Salmond, as well as the decision to continue using the British Pounds without a monetary union, was actually hilarious. I hope your second try will be more realistic.

yeah cos we havent been able to start an oil fund with our resources, the UK goverment have pissed our oil revenue away on wars and stupid shit. with the ability to control our own affairs we would be doing just fine

Very hard to say but my guess is that Sweden, Denmark and maybe Greece would be top of the list.

I'd be happy to go into a pact with our Scandinavian cousins. I think we've a lot in common.

Why in the hell would Greece leave? Who will keep them afloat without the EU?

Wtf. I did not see that coming.
I can see the pound is already in free fall, The London Stock exhange website have crashed, and the FTSE 100 have dropped by 8 pct.. This is very good for danish state obligations though, as investors are jumping ship in the U.K, and looking for stable countries to invest in. Will be very interesting to see what the long term aftermath of this will be, after the panic has settled.

But this actually step 1 towards right wing dystopia, as some political scientists have been predicting. (1) The U.K leaves the EU. (2) Trumps becomes president. (3) Front National wins the election in France.

Also @IDL, how the hell did the all-powerful lizard people/NWO elite/Globalists/Illuminati fucking allow this to happen?! I want answers!

Are you even capable of making a thoughtful post anymore?

I guess that memes, and posting about "cucks" and testosterone is about the bar now...

Has he ever made a thoughtful post? Perhaps it was before my time here.

How likely do the Europeans think it is that The Netherlands will follow suit?

Not very likely. But then again, a week ago I would have also said that Brexit was very unlikely. So who the fuck knows at this point.

The Netherlands is a lot smaller, and they are a very business minded people. Also, small countries like The Netherlands (or my own) simply can't afford it in the age of globalization.
The U.K now has to make trade agreements on their own, which is not a very attractive prospect to nations like the U.S or China, who simply wants effective deals that covers the entire EU. But it's probably feasible for the U.K, because of the size of their economy, and their global influence. Although their negotiation power is obviously only a fraction of what the E.U brings to the table. Unless they somehow honey-dick the EU into letting them be a part of the new trade agreements that the EU are getting atm.

Very hard to say but my guess is that Sweden, Denmark and maybe Greece would be top of the list.

Greece yes, Sweden and Denmark no. We are EU sceptics, but there's actually only one party in parliament that wants to exit the EU in Denmark (a very left wing, former communist, party). I think the climate is pretty much the same in Sweden.

We already have the Nordic Council. Or should we bring back The Kalmar Union?

is there an actual point to any of your posting? or are you just a random troll?

 

[Haj01]

This is great news. The UK will be better off in the long run because of this Brexit. Awesome stuff. There may be some growing pains. But in the end there will be growth. More sovereignty more independence is never a bad thing.

 

[PEB]

Well the British made their beds now they have to sleep in it. This does not get any easier for them. Wait till they go buy petrol, food and clothing. The system is going to come back hard. There were better ways to tackle their issues.

 

[Bloodworth]

To claim racism is the lowest form of defense ever.
When there is no logic or rationale. Claim racism.
Was this mainly because of immigrants ?
The only thing that lit america up was when they heard wall.
Time to follow laws. Ask those never supposed to be here to kindly return to where they came.

Lol, my point was pretty clear: the Scots are in no position to whine. But apparently you're going to do so anyway, and that amuses me.

2016 , will have massive reverberations the world over , and he haven't even gotten to the fucking 2016 US general election yet.

It's kinda unproductive to try to guess what the future trade deals with E.U countries will be like, let's wait for the E.U honchos to conclude their secret meeting first!

Here's the funny part: the U.K is still a member of the E.U, all E.U laws/regulation/rights/privileges are still applies to the U.K, but the E.U is actually excluding the U.K from their next meeting about Brexit negotiation (even though EU meetings are supposed to be open to all E.U members), just so they can talk among themselves if they want to hand-shake or gang-bang the U.K.

Whether Brexit will turns out to be an amicable separation with the continent or a spiteful and angry divorce will depends on the outcome of this Council of Elrond in Brussels.
