Its gunna be a wacky week year time for the land of tea and corgies.

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.

A lot of people who work in UK and London's economy are actually doing so because they're integrated in EU and are majorly English-speaking, unlike most other EU states, and they're going to leave and relocate to some other EU city if UK goes out of EU.

And that will be bad.

I can give at least one answer for why its bad. The world markets are about to freak the fuck out.

Oh well. It's not like I particularly cared.

Crazy fucking Brits, man. At least I get to look forwards to another European land war in the next 20 years!

I'm betting that rather than collapse or ignore the referendum what their govt will try will be to nominally leave but strike a deal that leaves it in for practical purposes.

I don't really know. The European Union is a symbol.

I bet currency traders are going to make a killing off of this....

So there's been a lot of talk about Ireland and Scotland likely breaking out of the UK, so that's the end of the UK as a thing on its own. Those were reasoned as 'they voted strongly remain' and similar.

So an amusing thought: From my understanding, London is quite integrated with the EU, essentially serving as its financial capital; as such they voted strongly remain too. Anyone know if there's a possibility of London leaving the UK? :V

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The SNP is literally never going to shut up from now until far after the actual legal Brexit in order to try and keep their EU membership concurrent. You'll note that not a single district in Scotland voted Leave, and overall it was about 60% Stay there. And probably a lot of the Leave voters weren't genuine Euroskeptics, but SNP fanatics trying to bring about the Just As Planned scenario that now plays out before us.

Naval war, man, naval. Britain is still an island.

Welcome Britain, you are now in the glorious company of European countries that are not in the EU, such as Norway, Serbia, Ukraine, and Switzerland.

I have a distinct feeling there's going to be a few people that decided not to vote complaining. If I come across any, I feel like I'll have to tell them they have no right to complain (barring a VERY good reason, OFC).

Wonder if this is going to cause another Scottish referendum in the near future.

I would put money on it. A lot, actually; anyone know where I can put money on this? Best possibility for Scottish independence, I think.

[Loud Whispers]

Oh, well. Congrats LW. Things are going to be interesting, did Hameron say something yet?

I dunno, I am watching a documentary about desert ants now

I am too tired, once I am finished eating brexit breakfast oats, I will go to sleep, then wake up to smell the ashes Mr. Freeman, from which the fertile soils will grow infinite dandelions to catch the wind

*Ok, I hav done recent search for Cameron reaction, I have found nothing recent. I expect something later today, he is most likely talking to his own cabinet to see if he must retire
