FUCK YES LET'S LEAVE GET HYPE YEY

Casual yes, let's leave and get independence done with

Meh, probably just scribble all over my vote ballot to spite tryhards

Casual no, let's remain and get integration done with

FUCK NO LET'S REMAIN GET CALM YEY

[Cthulhu]

I feel these demographics charts are very telling.

Since I'm firmly for remain, I'm hoping parliament abuses the fact that the referendum is not legally binding in any way.

The livefeed on /r/europe is pretty good.  "we continue our live coverage of Hitler's return with new reports that brexiters regret doing it even as they pull David Cameron's head off like in Mortal Kombat and the genocide begins."

Coast guards patrolling the Mediterreanean are being rerouted to the Channel to save the millions of Brits fleeing the island in crappy boats.
Three British bankers have been arrested for selling rubber ducks to refugees as flotation devices.

Oh, our parliament and government over here are already furiously debating and speculating on a NExit referendum. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually comes through.

[Leafsnail]

Yup, so far it's a stock market hit, but that's it. Keep in mind nothing will change for a couple years as they negotiate anyway.

Rats generally try to flee a ship before it sinks.

I wonder if it's too early to start the Frexit thread? Or Nexit?

Maybe we should be efficient and combine them all into one big 'Fall of the EU' megathread.

We should start a forum pool. Though I don't know if it should be based on which country is the next to leave, or when it occurs. Or both?

I'm putting my money on Italy, but if Le Pen wins in France next year I'm gonna kek so loud people will hear it from space.

Germany will do everything to keep Italy on the Eurozone, if Italy leaves, it will resume de-evaluating currency and it will hit Germans bank quite badly except this time around there won't be many European cash cows to keep them afloat. France will not want none of it for sure

The Le Pens are enjoying their European mandates too much to push things through, in fact I cannot see how they'd go through any of their promises.

Why would Italy want to leave?

[Sonlirain]

The Spanish minister of foreign affairs has requested that Spain be given shared sovereignity over Gibraltar, because the UK leaves the EU, while 94% of Girbraltar's population voted stay.

Hahaha, moving towards annexation right after the circumstances changed to favour that

how fucking classy

EDIT: Also source plz, I need to share this with other people.

Hopefully it's a kosher source.

The new mayor of rome is M5S, which is anti-globalist and Euroskeptic.

[Sheb]

I don't see France exiting the EU, even under the Le Pens. Interesting time.

That's a good question though. Now that Farage cannot just live off his MEP salary while never bothering to attend or do his job, will he have to start working for a living?

[Adragis]

i think i should rule the world, that'd solve all this and stuff

you kidding right? production quotas are killing farmers and meanwhile German production growth means we're always caught up in inflation, plus we have no control on our sovereignty thanks to Dublin III

much good came from the EU, but it always was a split affair between rich and poor countries; meanwhile Germany is playing the assembly by buyng poor country votes at the EU seat with promises of economic aid (see: grece, turkey, romania) which no other member can outbid. The EU is pretty f** up right now.

and a total clown, she's already rambling about impossible things even before starting to debating them or thinking about how to reach her objectives..

[martinuzz]

(Actually, fuck it, I'm going for Denmark. Martinuzz's staunch defence of the EU has made me lose faith in the revolutionary fervor of our shared Dutch blood).

I'm not actually that much of a friend of the EU project. I did vote no to the constitution referendum, and regard any EU "law" as void, since it it unconstitutional.
I am all for cooperation though.

I just think the Brexit is badly motivated and badly timed.

If a referendum was about exiting to stop the breakdown of social and public services, and labour rights favouring nationless megacorp and bank profits, I'd vote out. What the British will get now is more of the same shit, just under a slightly more local flag, with some extra recession sauce.

Which is what I meant earlier when I said Brexin / Brexit is like fish and chips with brown or white vinegar. Looks a bit different at a glance, but is the same shit wrapped in old news.

If I had to describe the Brexit in one sentence it would be "for all the wrong reasons"

[Starver]

Just catching up on the car-crash, while I have a moment.

Also rather interesting is that the BBC host said Cameron prolly expected the Libdems to join them and block the EU referendum without Cameron losing face ("Oh no, don't block this, oh noooooo, ok block it")
Ironically Cameron needed Nick Clegg

Apparently, someone doesn't read someone else's messages...  I said that already. It wasn't even a newly discovered revelation when I repeated it.
