UK voted leave. Best example you don't need weapons to destroy a country. Scotland, whales and N. Ireland will likle make a referendum as well to seek for independence. Scotland will likele vote leave from the UK whales probably too. Just N.I. wil probably stay due to the protestant majority.
In any way it's likely the end of the United Kingdom. But England kind of deserves it now in my eyes to be honest.

BREXIT

Yes very stupid vote. Cameron should've never allowed this referendum. Simple-minded people in general are just way too easily getting indoctrinated by populist propaganda.

Doesn't Scotland need permission to hold a vote? But if they do, they will likely leave this time sine they voted to remain.

Whales voted to leave along with the UK so they likely won't leave the UK until, possibly, they realize that London can't support them like the EU could.

NI will be an interesting case. I don't see them as being independent. They might try to reunify with Ireland. but have the wounds there healed enough? Who knows?

I'm just stunned. I'm afraid of what it'll do to the global economy. Uncertainly will bring more right wingers into power. We have one running here.

In N.I. catholics want union with ireland while protestants want union with england. Might bring the old conflicts back. Scotland will likely have some talks with the EU to see if they can inherit the UK's membership in the EU. If yes i'm sure they will seek for independence. If they have to completely reaply they may wait and see how the talks between uk and eu work out to see how much scotland benefits from it before they do another independence referendum.

The donald already congratulated the brexit guys. When in scotlant he misinterpreted the outrage for happiness over the referendum's outcome lol. He's so dumb. But sadly his supporters too.

WHAT IS THE WORLD WE ARE LEAVING IN ?

Yep. And his supporters should look at how some of the Brexit voters are reacting now that they've gotten what they thought they wanted.

Arrakis

Aren't they happy now? I mean those who voted out?

holding my heart

They are trying to force a new referendum

Arrakis

I doubt it will happen though.

Lethally Floral

Some are. Some are like "I didn't really think it would happen." Kind of like the person who quits work and regrets it the next day because hey, you need a job. For instance, the leaders have walked back some promises. And the EU provides a lot of funding for cancer research and money to economically depressed areas.

There are some who are happy. And some telling Muslims they need to leave. I'm not there but it sounds like there is a lot of ugliness.

I don't know if there's going to be another referendum because the EU is kind of like "no take backs.' And now all the right wingers in other countries are calling for it. Ugh.

Oh man what a world. The beginning of the end for thr european union

Lethally Floral

You think? We'll have to see if it's truly over in the UK. It feels like the leave campaign proposed it to excite the country but don't know how to execute it.

holding my heart

I think it's the end Merkel, Hollande have both said it needs to be acted quickly

Lethally Floral

But they have to wait until the UK puts through the Article 50 and they haven't done that.
