This is the big vote on whether or not the UK should leave the EU. if we do we will have more control of our borders and we could a new type of entrance, different from a Visa like what Canada has done when they released the eTA which costs around $7. If we stay in the EU the UK will be better united and trade relations will still be done easily. What do you think?

Sorry for the English in that one sentence, i am very tired.

Well it appears as our thoughts and opinions don't matter as it has been official announced that the United Kingdom is leaving the EU. I believe it will be intresting to see how this all plays out.

Same here. Our British Pound has dropped by 30%. Our stock markets will fluctuate over the next few weeks.This will be fun! this will be fun!

>>4 As a american teenage with almost no knowledge of foreign politics, I don't know all of what will happen in the future cornering the EU and the UK, but I think it will be intresting to see the different ways this effects the reason of the world and how all of the UK changes.

As of today, the 24, it has been decided that England WILL leave the EU. As a result the dow joes (a stock in the US) has drooped 610 points (witch is enough to make inter-national news alone). Also, because England, Scotland, and north Ireland are also part of the UK the Ireland has thought of declaring independence and uniting with south Ireland. Long story short, the world is now at a point where it can blow up.

>>7 I was gonna say that lol :P a lot of stock markets all over the world have shot down, and the most damage is seen by FTSE 250, with Aldermore falling down by 32%!!!! that's really bad......

>>7 >>8 I heard on the news today that Scotland has voted to stay in the EU. But Italy, Sweden, Denmark and etc are said to be thinking of leaving as well. As I said before, I believe it will be intresting to see how this all plays out in the future.

Think what you heard was in the UK referendum to "leave or stay in the EU" the majority of Scotland voted "stay in the EU" which is why they are thinking of holding another referendum like last year to leave the UK, in that Scotland reduced the voting age to 16 to get more votes last year.

I am somewhat disappointed in the results from yesterday I was hoping that we here in the UK would stay in the EU, there was a lot of undecided people who didn't vote.

I here people saying that there is going to be a big recession due to our British Pound Sterling dropping 10% in value. Since i live in the UK i think that there won't be a big recession. Yes leaving the EU has affected our currency and stock markets but we will be fine in the next few weeks.

So, how's the NZD going to take the hit?

The New Zealand stock markets have been affected since the UK left the EU, but i don't know if the NZD will be affected as well.

i heard recently that UK actually left EU that is what i heard in the news

I hope this article helps you out. I personality don't know but the articles list some.

As I said, I hope it helps

>>9 yeah Scotland strongly wants to remain in EU, that it is also even willing to become a separate country so that it can join in again..... Eithther way it seems that more than 1 million people have signed for the redo of EU referendum, so let's see..... Although I'm sure that it won't happen again...........

>>I wouldn't be surprise, the results were 51 to 48. Extremely close. A recount would settle the matter as the UK is so divided on the matter.

>>16 My mistake, I forgot the 16.

>>16
>>17
that's sure is good to hear, now if that happens the usa can have another election if a group of voter candidate isn't elected.
isn't it great when people can just ignore result they don't like and force what they want.

>>19
There are many ways to think of it, yes, you can think of as the 48% who didn't get their way, but you also have to remember the effect of them leaving the EU has already had and has had. Many say that the UK leaving the EU may in the future split the United Kingdom into two and no one wants that. For the USA, if let's say Donald Trump won the election, there most likely won't be any sort of re election since we wouldn't be divided 50|50, in my opinion, re elections should only happen to prevent the worse case scenario and still ensure that people are happy. Especially where you are dealing with thousands/millions of people.

No second referendum confirmed
"The Cabinet agreed this morning there would be no second referendum. David Cameron will spell that out in his Commons statement this afternoon.

They don’t want false hopes or complications beyond the ones already visited on the country.

Oliver Letwin is overseeing the “scoping” exercise on what is and isn’t possible in a negotiation. The idea of Michael Gove being lead negotiator dates back to when, a touch unrealistically, he and others on the Leave side thought they could persuade David Cameron to stay put for longer.

Boris Johnson just emerged from Downing Street to state again his support for a points based immigration system combined somehow with access to the single market.

One Tory MP said it was more of Boris Johnson’s cake policy, “pro having it and pro eating it” and he would have to “sort himself out.”

>>21 It's intresting that they aren't going to have a second referendum. But it is understandable. 3 days in and so much has seemingly already changed. I an wait to see the long term effects of the UK leaving the EU.

I agree. many people voted leave because they want their country back to the way it was before we joined in on the EU. Some think that leaving is the better option, as it brings more security to our borders. Our country can now do more things that it couldn't do when it was in the EU.

>>23 The UK's reasons for leaving are all understandable. For me, the Brexit seems to have caused ripples global as some thing the UK leaving will cause other countries to follow in suit. I can't help but wonder what is in future for the EU and the rest of the world.

It's sure to be interesting. I don't know too much about britain, but on the EU side...

Britain did represent a large part of the voting population, and while EU voting procedure is ridicuaously complicated, I do know the the UK were the big voice against further unionizing the EU. Now that they've left, I expect to see a lot more government fuction fusion laws passing that the Uk would have blocked. Not sure if that's a good thing though, esecially as it gives Germany a lot more free reign, I think.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also english was one of the three main governing languages of the EU. I wonder what would happen if that changed to Spanish (they do have a right to it, after all)

Well, we'll see.

>>25
We will have to wait and see. The stock markets are moderate ("as they say"). Around 1%. New laws will be applied in the future. And our next prime minister will probably be some moron.
