So, ELI5... why is this bad exactly?

I'm trying not to take sides here, I'm just someone who can't take their eyes off this spectacle and want to know why it's such a bad outcome?

I have seen some of the economic fallout from it with the falling pound, but I'm also unconvinced that's not a temporary scare spike.

Here's a quick summary of the pros and cons.

Saw a good graphic (and then lost the link) that said "England invaded 90% of the world, complains about immigrants"

I will thank our crumpet-munching cousins for being a canary in the Welsh coal mine -- the Remain camp got fucked over by the youth vote flaking out, if exit polls are accurate. Democrats better do everything they can to turn out the youth vote, or we'll be making England look downright intelligent.

On the other hand, I hope the SNP is drafting Round 2 of the Scexit referendum as I type. Make Britain England Again!

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

The English have been on a 500 year journey to escape the Isle. Anti-immigration proponents just want to protect others from having to experience the awful weather.

I had to put my cat to bed in despair and checked my news feeds. Alex Salmond has confirmed there will be another referendum before Brexit is formalized i.e. within 2 years. Sinn Fein has also given the view that Britain has now "forfeited its right" to rule in Ireland. Here we go.

RedKing is right, all you Hilary-backers need to listen to him very carefully.

Pretty sure the Dems already lost the youth vote over here when they backed a centrist hawk instead of a socialist who would have done something about the student loan crisis. This is not the decade for maintaining the status quo. Currentyear is the year of change, and all rests on who realizes that more fully.

Cornwall is made of small towns, NHS doctors, fishermen, and the horse industry.

Man I'm listening to Farage speaking on some BBC channel and man is his rhetoric charged as fuck.

Apparently he now talks about Swexit, Dexit, and that EU is failing and everyone should get out.
