As a native of the country in question, i have to say that this is a spectacular mistake for not just GB, but for a wider europe. Hopefully it won't snowball too much further and take out the whole european project, but there are definitely several months of european (and global) instability ahead. No-one knows how bad it will be, as this is very much uncharted territory, so anyone who professes an expert opinion beyond pointing out the clealy obvious is just guessing. Remember though that GB is still a strong economy, and is not out of the EU for at least 2 years, so the End of the World is unlikely to occur this summer. Personally I feel that much depends on when (indeed if) GB formally begins the leaving process, and how reasonable both sides are in the divorce settlement.
On a selfish note, i utilise the agreements that my compatriots are so keen to tear up in order to live in europe, so i am more than a little concerned as to the impact this small minded moronity will have on myself and the couple of million others who chose live and work elsewhere. I'm not panicking yet though, as the people who campaigned for the Brexit are already backtracking on their promises in a spectacular fashion, so i would not be surprised if the whole thing got called off in the next two weeks.
I almost feel i should apologise for the stupidity of my countrymen, but then i remember why i left the place. ...Show more →
Few things. The process of separating the UK from EU does not have to take two-years. It can take two-days if they wanted. The EU itself is telling the UK to immediately start the process. The UK did something awesome. It separated from unelected leaders. A hand full of men in Brussels started making tens of thousands of laws every year that ordinary people have no clue about. These laws created, without vote, can NOT be veto'ed by any member-state. I'm sorry to say, but if Hitler were alive, he would be jealous.. because these few men took over an entire continent without a single war. And worse than that, they have ALL the power of money.
Take a look a Greece. Greece is broke, dumped its national Drakma currency in favor of the Euro. Guess what, the printing press is in Brussels, not in Greece. So when Greece had its financial melt down and needs a bailout, they have to go beg Brussels for money. In return for borrowing worthless paper WITH interest that can not be paid, the Greeks agree to hike taxes, enact austerity on people, and give its national assets and treasures to Brussels. Its a literal take over, soft kill, stealthy take over of a country. I am glad the UK has opt'd out of the EU. I hope the rest of the countries in Europe start having referendums and vote to get out of the sinking titanic called the EU.
Lastly, this event might have pricked the global bubble. I believe we are heading into a global recession much worse than 2008. The debts have skyrocketed, bubbles created, jobs diminished, middle classes erased.. We aren't talking about a subprime bubble, we are talking about total and utter collapse of the financial systems of the world. Look at Japan, today they released an article saying "We're in trouble" and lots more economists are starting to say "we are headed towards recession, collapse, or turmoil" from your regular joe broker to elitists like Soros and Greenspan.
