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

[MayhemMonkey]

The people of Britain voted to leave the EU. The people of Scotland are part of Britain, same as England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland recently voted to remain part of Britain and rejected independence. I was thinking you were just angry at the result, but it's clear you're not very bright.

Oh btw, I've been invited out for a few pints with some dudes I used to work with this afternoon. I don't care about the results, as there's positives and negatives but they insist on celebrating.

Picture it: An English guy with Scottish citizenship enjoying a few beers with his Scottish mates in a Scottish bar celebrating Britain's exit from the EU. Imagine it until it sinks in, because it's going on all over the nation right now. English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish united, celebrating Britain's victory.

lol you act like it was a landslide victory

Still a victory nonetheless.

I don't know anything about David Cameron, nothing, but this move by him and how he did it showed more class and grace than any American Politician in several decades.

which will trigger referendums in Ireland and Scotland. score

lol you act like it was a landslide victory

No I don't. It was close. 48% of the country won't be celebrating the result. The majority will.

Why do you think that is bad?
If Scotland and Ireland want their independence, then they should have it, just like Britain now does. Its a score for democracy and sovereignty regardless of how they vote.

Which will go the same way as always as most Scots and Northern Irish want to stay British.

[Unknown Pleasures]

LOL - I guess I was pretty far off....

 

[Gazwald]

why didnt they vote that way then?

They did vote that way. Scotland had a referrendum on independence and 57% voted to stay British.

Britain's immigration policy hasn't been set by the EU. They weren't party to the schengen agreement. They rejected the EU refugee quota proposal.
The immigrants that are being labelled as problems aren't from the EU. If Britain has a problem with it's immigration policy, they can't blame the EU. The leave campaign proposed an adoption of an Australian style points system. Fair enough, but they already have a 5 tier points system for immigrants from outside the EU, and there's absolutely no reason they had to leave the EU to extend that to EU citizens (and are they even the "problem immigrants" that the Brits voted against?).

Edit: Although I'm not sure how the "opt-out" policy would have worked on the EU migration policies they'd already agreed to.

I KNEW Thames would like this! Haha.

Nope, that's one person out of millions.

You look as pathetic as those idiots posting pictures of the London riots on twitter claiming the no voters were going crazy in Glasgow when you lost the independence vote. Give it up.

 

[John Wang]

So will the UK go back to selling chit in pounds instead of Euros?

 

[Gazwald]

you keep adding 2% on to the vote, it was 55% of the vote..... and its a different story nowadays. which again, this vote shows

Nope. I keep stating the result. 57% of Scotland voted to stay British. Last year it was 56, now it's 55 according to nationalists. It's splitting heirs anyway. Scotland voted to stay British. I'd bet my bottom dollar you thought that was 'undemocratic' too haha
