Should the UK leave the EU?
I was hoping for this Why would you be hoping for this, Texas is never going to secede from the USA....surly people arent serious about this? You're my friend, so I'm holding this intervention out of love. surly adj 1. Sullenly ill-humored; gruff Surly people are always serious. Ask me how I feel about religion or Barti how he feels about mayonnaise, you will get a surly response. Thanks Mani, I have no issue with people correcting me who mean well and you always mean well but I want to share something interesting about these mistakes I make You may think this is just excuse but I am well aware my grammar is shocking, I still dont know the difference between their and there and at times I can see some overall structures problems in my posts Its not that I dont try to make posts grammatically correct its just that its not a big deal if they not For me only one thing matters when someone makes a post on a forum like this, can I understand them? If you think about it why would anything else matter, so spelling and grammar why is that a factor?

That something is linked, does not mean it could not be separated, if people in charge decide, that it's right thing to do. For me EU and UK was also linked, and now we see them going separate ways *shrugs* But the EU and the UK are 2 separate entities and politically you can move the two apart..you cant separate a capital city from a country like the UK. The 2 examples are different I dont care what any professor says, there is no legal historical precedent that even remotely is similar to the suggestion that London will become its own independent city state ....seriously the idea is not possible

Should the UK leave the EU?
No its not, ignore what people on Twitter say There are many different negative views on this development which ones are you referring to? I'm not properly educated on the matter. I was referring to a lot of reactionary tripe on social media denouncing the patriarchy and such. Haven't seen many examples of how this will be bad for the UK, which is why I ask. You right about all the tripe on social media but just so I understand when you say patriarchy what do you mean in context to the BREXIT development ?

Well that filled the BS quota for today I wish Trump would keep quiet and stop pretending his political agenda is the same as why the UK left the EU You see to Trump the entire world needs someone like him to " fix things " .....the arrogance of the man never ceases to surprise me

Well as long as you're not a refugee. Or brown. Or east european part-time worker, which took your job, which you would never even consider to apply for it, in the first place There is definitely some unnecessary and unsubstantiated criticism throughout the EU from some sectors of the population towards East Europeans and how " they taking jobs " I wouldn't take it seriously...I know thats probably harder to do than it may appear as it must get frustrating at times

Also just to add to this, Mark Carney the Governor of the Bank of England had the following reasonable and prudent words to say " The Bank of England said it was "monitoring developments closely" and pledged to "take all necessary steps to meet its responsibilities for monetary and financial stability". Governor Mark Carney said market and economic volatility was to be expected as the UK negotiates new relationships with Europe and the rest of the world but that it was "well prepared for this" after extensive contingency planning with the Treasury. He said the Bank was ready to provide more than £250bn of additional funds to keep markets functioning and would not hesitate to take further measures " So we just need to let things stabilize, the UK is fundamentally a stable and strong economy. And it will still offer real sustainable and positive returns for investors And the people who manage the UK financial sector also know what they doing even if at times things appear chaotic

Should the UK leave the EU?
Her comments are annoying and uninformed Who is she anyway? She thinks it will be great when Trump becomes president because there will be a WW3? Mam just ignore her and the anti-UK comments, did you read some of the views from people supporting her, the degree of invective and anti-Western sentiment never ceases to amaze me

Should the UK leave the EU?
This BREXIT outcome has very little to do with racism and the fact the citizens of the UK are bigots. I reject that completely I find these types of Twitter comments come from people who are ignorant and prefer making false characterizations or assuming the BREXIT is all about issues like immigration, this is only part of it

Should the UK leave the EU?
This is exactly the views and commitment I have been wanting to see from people living in the EU, there has not enough emphasis on the positive aspects of the EU The right wing will focus on the negative and use hyperbole to generate fear mongering and gain support The EU will survive this but with the UK leaving now and the next 12 months or so of economic instability this is an excellent time for all people living in the EU to ask important questions like " Do I like the EU? " " yes there are issues within the EU but its much better to be part of the EU than to be separated from " " I want to be part of the EU but I want some structural changes " But once again dont become despondent and think " now the UK has left the entire EU will collapse " It will be a much different outcome and result if the various right wing groups in the EU think now that BREXIT is done there own countries can just leave the EU And this is a good thing for those that care about the EU

Should the UK leave the EU?
Whats more annoying for me is the hubris from the various right wing parties across the EU who have naturally become emboldened and think countries like Denmark, France and the Netherlands should also leave the EU I want to make this point again unequivocally, the UK is in a unique position where it can leave the EU and it will survive but any EU member that uses the EURO as its currency will not be able to just leave the EU without serious and unprecedented economic consequences

Should the UK leave the EU?
I would say that Cameron's room is most likely much more interesting. Juncker probably don't even have plans to continue his political career after his tenure in Commission is over, which is probably before actual brexit happens. EDIT: It seems that Cameron's room has become much less interesting David Cameron resigns after UK votes to leave European Union Yes, Cameron I imagine will resign Despite his best efforts to do what he feels is best for the future of the UK the reality is he will now always be remembered as the UK PM who allowed the UK to leave the EU...he will step down considering the outcome of the BREXIT vote

Should the UK leave the EU?
Of course you guys realize the UK voting to leave will also have a degree of negative economic consequences, as predicted, for entire global economy? So people who think this is funny because it will " only hurt the West " are as usual horribly ignorant about the nature about the global economy I see the pound has lost 10 % of its value to the dollar, the UK is in for a period of tough economic times. But it will survive and persevere but we can expect 10-14 months of economic instability
