    But Norway has freedom of movement with the EU as part of their trade deal.

    Sorry guys but don't blame people for voting to leave, blame the politicians who didn't put the argument to stay better than they did
    from what I had seen it was a negative campaign from the remain group

    I agree.
    Wales voted for Brexit so at least we will be kept company by the sheep pumpers.

    At least Roy will have an excuse now. When we lose he can tell us that we voted to be out of Europe.

    We will get a decent deal with other countries because of our scale and importance to them. Of that I have no doubt.
    We just need to make sure we have our best politicians negotiating the deal.
    Cameron tried to get a deal recently and got
    ****ed over. A cross party approach, maybe involving some of our top business minds would help.

    Exactly. They will most likely have to decide to keep free movement of labour or accept a long term contraction of the economy.

    I'm not as confident. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. If they give us a good deal then they make it more likely that others will leave. If they don't they hurt both of our economies. Europe has a lot of blame to share in this by not agreeing to reforms that would have made this result less likely.

    More of them have jobs than don't going by the employment figures. Job reductions are likely if you follow the logic of the decision and follow basic economic theory.

    With other referendums across Europe set to follow ours, I think the EU will shut their pants and gice us whatever we need.

    Unless it results in a contraction of the whole European economy.

    Uncertainty reigns for now. Hopefully we have planned appropriately and not been arrogant about the result...

    Yep concerned here. Certainly am poorer today than I was yesterday. Maybe some bad calls too this past week. Been gambling a bit. Oh well, it'll come around, but next few weeks are gonna be chaos. Not sure if it was wise to have the results come out on a friday. Todays gonna be a nasty day at the markets, but maybe come monday everyone will have calmed down. Gotta be the end for Cameron, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of his, but having Boris Johnson as PM unelected like Gordon Brown is a joke. If anything, there ought to be a general election.

    I have no love lost for the EU apparatus. There's no need to have a government above a government. At the same time I'm under no illusion that Britains problems will go away with the EU.

    Has the North really just voted in the right wing Tories essentially? <yikes>

    I honestly don't know who there is left to vote for now. I would never have voted for the right wing Tories under Cameron and Osborne, so sure as hell wouldn't vote for the even further right wing Tories under Johnson, Gove and Grayling, not to mention the even further right wing UKIP. I was always a Lib Dem voter until they betrayed their voters by going into coalition with Cameron and Osborne. Corbyn has been disgraceful in this campaign and the Labour party is a joke now. Can someone please start a Northumbria Independance Party. I'm running out of options!!

    I want David Milliband to replace Corbyn and then I'll vote labour,.
    That wizened old tramp was a waste of space in this Brexit process.
    Hell.. I'd have voted for Ashley to be Labour leader over that old ****.

    Well anyone who said Brexit wouldn't lead to any job losses has already been proved wrong. Apparently there are 73 MEP's trying to quickly remember how to write a CV.
