I've no idea and i hope no one else. Aaand afaik Junker said something like "once you're out, you're out for ever" some days ago.

I personally don't know how to feel about Trump backing up the UK on the decision to leave.

Greece has been crippled by being forced to join the Eurozone, they have a currency that is valued in a way that benefits Germany/France and it's put their economy in the toilet. They were given huge loans during the boom years and have now been forced into poverty due to repayments during the downturn, and they don't even have control over their own currency to try and improve competitiveness.

The NL also just had a poll where 54% of the population indicated they would be for holding a similar referendum. Marine Le Pen wants the same in France too. There are plenty of people around Europe who don't enjoy being ruled by unelected foreign bureaucrats.

Also yeah, the UK could potentially rejoin the EU in future. It certainly wouldn't happen in the near future though, but it's a possibility if we were to re-apply 20-30 years in the future. There are no laws to stop it.

It won't be spiteful, it won't cost their industries, it sends the message that there will continue to be benefits to membership, it doesn't prove any such points.

How will it not cost their industries.

"About a fifth of all cars produced in Germany last year, or around 820,000 vehicles, were exported to the UK, making it the single biggest destination by volume."

If you start getting into a trade war and imposing tariffs, how will that not affect sales of European products in the UK.

The Netherlands once Geert Wilders gets elected is my bet

democracy without informed voters is worthless as a way to make decisions, which, for the record, is what this was. you're not making decisions based on mass informed opinions by that point, you're making decisions based on bullshit and gut feelings

I think they'd take the smaller financial hit of worse trade with the UK than the disaster that the EU disbanding would be.

it's like he's purposely styling himself on donald and boris

tbh he's always looked like that

that hair looks like it was photoshopped in

There won't be a trade war, we will bend over because we need access to their market.

We can't have a referendum like that, they don't bind our politicians to shit. We had a referendum about the EU constitution, which was rejected in the referendum but we signed anyways.

Read above, we can't have a similar referendum. Well, we can have it. It just won't do anything really

He has been doing that for years. He looked like this in 2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geert_Wilders#/media/File:GW-Rotterdam-DSC_0218.jpg

Yeah his hair style is atrocious but he's famous for it now so he'll stick with it. He's probably trying to cover up his Indonesian looks with it because a large portion of his followers are racists

"Totally depressing - and very frustrating. A lesson in protest voting"

...I don't understand "protest voting". like, I can't comprehend that people don't understand that it's still a vote that's going to be counted

The British electoral system results in large numbers of people's votes not counting in most routine elections. A referendum is a rare opportunity for your vote to count the same as everyone else's in the country.

at least if we're poorer that'll mean my esport career winnings will have more weight

thx brexit

>voters are only informed if they agree with what I deem acceptable

What is Britian?

Using direct democracy for stuff that can have far reaching economic ramifications is kind of silly IMO.

voters are informed when they actually know the facts, as in what these decisions will and won't do

you really do not have to look hard to figure out that a lot of people did not pass this test

i can see valid reasons both to stay and to leave, however my personal opinion is that the people understood and saw that leaving would be a bit of a rough road but would pay off overall

I'm just going to assume you haven't actually clicked any link I've posted so far and end it at that

What a fucking mess. It's frustrating how (Broad generalization here but it's what I've seen in personal experience) the older and more racist generations have fucked it up for the younger ones.

that doesnt even tell us how many people were searching for it before and after, worthless info

do you know what "spike in the last hour" means

do you understand that a 250% increase in an unspecified number of people is likely nowhere near a majority of a voting population

How about this one? https://twitter.com/GoogleTrends/status/746303118820937728

How I love the British electorate. Can't wait to vote yes for independence.
