It will take years for things to change and treaties to be renegotiated. The world isn't going to change overnight.

Probably just enough time for a large number of those who voted for it to shuffle off.

The more immediate risk is the world get the devil spawn of Farage and Boris Johnson leading britain and making Trump seem like a moderate

Harsh.

Once took care of a person who tried suicide and survived it, but was in a coma. I don't know which is worse.

Suicide is way shitter than explosive diarrhea to discuss. Hope everyone realises even tomato teams are worth living thru.

I'd up vote, but; the problem really is that bad.

It's such a shame that young people who have yet barely even begun to live life are choosing to exit out of it, because they cant see a viable way forward.

Talk.

Everyone has a voice.

Listen, take notice.

Yeah, but that's usually the case, I'd be surprised if the breakdown for the last general election isn't much different. Population is getting older, and older people are more likely to vote, which skews the stats somewhat. There's a pretty good explanation here: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36574526. Points 1 and 5 are, I think, pretty significant as they have a knock on effect.

Farage's raison d'etre just disappeared, and comparing Johnson with Trump? Come on. There's a difference between appearing a buffoon and actually being one. The guy was elected Mayor of London twice ffs.

sadly some people get incredibly fucked over by life RNG. sometimes all it takes is one straw to break the camels back.

i had a bloke i grew up with had his life just opening up, got into a high end uni course that was his dream and had good career prospects, then he necked himself when the missus broke up with him, being in hospital with some of the lads while he was still on life support was the worst, his ex was there the whole time crying and screaming trying to draw attention to herself while his poor fucking mom had to sit through it all. it was horrible

Boris is nothing like Trump, if you have to draw a comparison make it with Arnie. They both turned out to be pretty competent regional governors who got reelected.

The biggest risks are that Scotland who overwhelmingly voted to stay, will decide to leave the British union and go back to the European union (who may or may not want them as they don't have much to offer), and,

More importantly, this will empower the right wing nationalists in Europe- especially FN in France.  France has elections soon and if  FN gets in power the EU is over.

the right wing taking hold in france is a real possibility, frances hollande will be the first president in french history to have a leadership election within his own party given his disastrous approval rating due to his immigration policies which have backfired on him immensely. not to mention the french unions at the moment are causing as much trouble as they possibly can.

Not only France. Holland and Sweden too. Lots of people are unhappy with the EU. The article http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36620426 neatly sums up some of the fundamental underlying differences between the UK and continental perspectives.

Situation with Scotland is complex. It's unlikely they would be able to "take over" the UKs old slot, as they're much smaller in all regards. Plus there's the currency issue - new entries to the EU are obliged to use the Euro, and of course it would mean a hard border between Scotland and England. Now is not the time for another referendum.

France's labour market is too rigid, has been for years. It's why they're still struggling to recover from 2008. It also partly (only partly) explains why so many people want to migrate to Britain rather than the continent. Britain went through that pain with Thatcher in the 80's. France, as is their wont, ducked and weaved but ultimately didn't.

Catholics in Northern Ireland have wanted that ever since partition in 1922. Despite Britain having fought hard against the IRA in the 70's and 80's, mainland Britain isn't particularly interested. That said, I doubt there will be a referendum.

Hey, it's worse after every general election, where >50% didn't get what they wanted. Be interesting to see how/if things have changed 3 months from now.

 

Conflict of interest statement: I am English, but not entitled to a vote through having lived abroad for too long. I'm not old enough to have voted to stay in the EEC in 1975, but I'm not 18-24 either.

No it's my granma.

Just use credit cards, or debit cards.

Or when you have no credit cards, or when your parent wont allow you to use their cards like me you can try to buy the steam code at this site. You can use mol points and online banking. But you have to pay some taxes.
