Well..I predict the Tories calling for an early election gambling that Labour won't be ready for it. Sooo....Expect a leadership challenge against Corbyn because the PLP can not afford to go into a GE with him as leader...especially after the voting pattern of Labour voters in the referendum.. So leaderless, infighting continues in both the major parties...that'll help the economy...
What about Lithuania and Estonia and places like that? You are not that small... Basically though... England are not going to pay you as much as eu were even if the claim is there's more dosh. So yeah those public jobs are toast. And yeah foreign direct investment can go to Ireland rather than northern Ireland. And prob it's a killer for tourism for you too. All those yanks landing in dublin won't be able to cross to see the giants causeway without a visa. So yeah.... Fun times.
I think that would be the only saving grace if the border in real terms is at our ports rather than the geographical line with the Republic. Those visas won't be as much an issue... We could become a sort of Montenegro...
The process of leaving the EU will take years A Brexit vote is not legally binding, and there are a few ways it could theoretically be blocked or overturned. However, as the BBC notes, "it would be seen as political suicide to go against the will of the people as expressed in a referendum." Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union establishes the procedures for a member state to withdraw from the EU. It requires the member state to notify the EU of its withdrawal and obliges the EU to then try to negotiate a withdrawal agreement with that state. A Brexit vote, however, does not represent that formal notification. That notification could take place within days — for example, when EU member countries meet for a summit that is scheduled for June 28 to 29. Or British officials might wait a few months to pull the trigger. Once Britain invokes Article 50, it will have a two-year window in which to negotiate a new treaty to replace the terms of EU membership. Britain and EU leaders would have to hash out issues like trade tariffs, migration, and the regulation of everything from cars to agriculture. In the best-case scenario, Britain may be able to negotiate access to the European market that isn’t that different from what it has now. Norway is not a member of the EU, but it has agreed to abide by a number of EU rules in exchange for favorable access to the European Common Market. The vote could topple the British government please log in to view this image <img alt="The Prime Minister Gives His Final EU Referendum Campaign Speech" src="https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/9C...loads/chorus_asset/file/6697759/542144876.jpg"> Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images British Prime Minister David Cameron. British Prime Minister David Cameron didn’t want to hold a vote on Brexit at all. But in 2014, he faced growing pressure from the populist right over immigration and Britain’s EU membership. To mollify dissenters in his own party and stop the rise of the far-right UK Independence Party, Cameron promised to hold a referendum on leaving the EU if his Conservative Party won the 2015 election. The Conservatives surprised pollsters by winning an outright majority in Parliament, and Cameron kept his promise. But he wasn’t personally in favor of exiting the EU, and he campaigned vigorously for a "Remain" vote. At the same time, he allowed other members of his government to campaign on the other side. This created the spectacle of senior members of the UK government, from the same party, campaigning on opposite sides of one of the biggest issues in British politics in decades. The victory of the "Leave" campaign could fatally weaken Cameron’s standing within his own party. Cameron had vowed to continue in office even if voters rejected his stance on EU membership. But that position may prove untenable. A revolt among Conservative members of Parliament could force him out of office. That could lead to a new Conservative government run by a more Euroskeptical prime minister, or it could lead to new elections. Brexit will cause problems for Britain's economy In the short run, uncertainty about Britain’s future relationship with the EU, its largest trading partner, could push the UK into a recession. Market watchers predict an "explosion of volatility" on Friday morning as the markets process the implications of Britain’s exit. Many economists expect both the British stock market and the pound to open lower on Friday morning. Britain’s chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, even hinted that he could suspend stock market trading if Britons voted to exit the EU. In the long run, the situation could be worse. If Cameron’s government falls, Britain’s prospects of negotiating a favorable deal with the EU could be weakened. The EU may decide to strike a hard bargain to discourage other countries from leaving the EU. Or the UK’s new leader might not be willing to accept the kind of restrictions that come with a Norway-style deal. And that could create serious problems for businesses based in the UK. "If you are Nissan or some other car producer with major production in the UK, today, the same safety standards and environmental standards allow you to sell everywhere in the European market," Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told me. But if the UK leaves the EU, "you would no longer be able to sell into other European markets, not because you face a small tariff but because you'd have to go through another set of safety certifications. This kind of thing would be repeated in every industry you can think of." Critics say the economic effects could be large. The UK government has estimated that exiting the EU could cause the British economy to be between 3.8 and 7.5 percent smaller by 2030 — depending on how well negotiations for access to the European market ultimately go. Other reports have found smaller but still significant impacts. Brexit means significant uncertainty for migrants http://www.vox.com/2016/6/23/12021222/brexit-what-happens-next
Lets celebrate cameron is gone and the tories are broken. I can see a serious infight for the next few months and the labour party should be on a election footing. I can see the SNP holding the balance of power this time round.
Brighton 60/40 remain apparently. Seems the north east was big push to leave. Pretty much saying those that are getting R by ok wanted to remain, those with nothing to lose wanted to leave to see what would happen. Guess more people in uk have nothing to lose which isn't good. More te a social split
This is a quirk of our election campaigning becoming more yankified...We traditionally don't vote for a leader but a ruling party...theoretically as long as that party puts forward a leader that maintains the bulk of the winning manifesto at the last election there is no need for a new election. Obviously that's no longer how it's perceived by the public. And this isn't a typical situation regarding leadership change.... Think it would be hard to ignore a call for one once Tories elect a new leader...
Yes, very true. In 3 months we'll be stuck with whoever (could be anyone at this rate ). But surely after that we'd need an election. Basically this whole process is going to take so much work to get going. Not quite sure people thought it through properly as they assumed we'd remain! I blame the knuckle dragging Mackems.
Crazy situation,that the SNP that voted remain and now wants out of the UK has the biggest say in the post brexit London parliament, we have no say in their parliamentary business yet they have in ours in the wake of leaving the EU.
Not if the new hitlers in london demand a closed border. like..... all those darkies (not my words) coming in through a soft border..... can't have that now we've voted for a white uk.
Yup... Its highly likely that SNP will repeat thier scottish results. after that the question must be would tories repeat theirs?
