Support NeoGAF

[Tak3n]

Ignoring the decision for a minute.

With a close to 50% split its sad that no political party can unify this county, we are truly divided. This needs to be solved before we can go anywhere now.

Easy, you have had 40 years in Europe ,it is our turn to have 40 years out...seems fair?

 

[gerg]

I've been out of the loop on this. Can someone explain to me why the Brexit is so bad?

Neoliberalism ain't that great, but when most of the world runs on those policies you're committing self-harm by extricating yourself from them. (The UK has a ton of trade deals with the EU that make it financially beneficial for us to be within it.)

Nikkei down 1100+ points. About 6.8%

 

[jem0208]

Hooray! Democracy at it's finest lads!

When the uneducated majority fucks it up for everyone!

Yay!

 

[Maintenance]

NeoGAF ads already dropping hints.

Don't even think about it. If you think the UK is bad right now, you have no idea the shithole Brasil is in.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I haven't been following this.

Why is everyone branding people who vote leave as bigots and racists? What's up with that?

I genuinely don't know the positives and negatives of both options.

Because there was no real reason to vote that way, well known racist politicians flocked to the Leave cause, the U.K. tabloids in all their racist glory also did everything they could to ensure it went ahead, and any advantages that people claimed would happen (the economy) is clearly not fucking happening now.

Couple that with most cities and Scotland and NI voting to Remain (liberals), it's not hard to put two and two together.

Just like Trump isn't racist, the Leave campaign isn't racist.

 

[Audioboxer]

If we left the UK we wouldn't be in the EU.

Don't really buy that scaremongering. It doesn't matter now anyway, we aren't part of the EU now.

On our own I think we can negotiate back in fine. We gave a solid message to the EU tonight we still love them. 100 fucking %.

 

[Madness]

That's literally what I said.

Hence why I want to get the fuck out of Wales. Would rather not live in a country surrounded by complete and utter idiots.

I called it Jem. Didn't know you were Welsh brother. Sorry the result didn't go how you wanted. Always welcome to come to Canada and the PNW, the real bastion for Halo.

 

[Salty Rice]

If this can become a reality, Trump can become a reality.

 

[_woLf]

So the world economy is NOT reacting well to this.

Thanks, UK.

 

[lastplayed]

Keith Vaz sounds like he's on the verge of bursting out crying. I agree.

He sounds pretty shook.

 

[Putzweg]

A wise investment would be to buy GBP when it bottoms out in the coming days.

 

[NeOak]

EUR, RIP JPY too

 

[cirrhosis]

So what is the easiest country to move to away from this place

canada or ireland would probably be good bets

 

[Kthulhu]

So did the UK just fuck it's own economy? If so, for how long, and how does this affect me as an American?

 

[Tabby]

Yo Trump will win now. I want to see the whole world burn.

And when that happens, I hope the aliens invade and take me away.

 

[Uzzy]

Keith Vaz and Chuka Umunna sound on the verge of tears.

 

[Hazzuh]

Respect gained for Keith Vaz

 

[mercenar1e]

When the uneducated majority fucks it up for everyone!

Yay!

It's going to happen in the US as well lol

Take it to the bank. Trump wins.

 

[darkwing]

asked in the other thread, just in case;

I know shit about economics...so...

Will this affect the CAD dollar in any way? We are already hurting here with our fucked currency

every economy will be affected, markets like stability, this is the opposite

 

[Psychotext]

Keith Vaz sounds like he's on the verge of bursting out crying. I agree.

Yup.

Heading to bed now. Fuck democracy (genuinely, we're all too stupid to be trusted with something of this magnitude).

 

[IJoel]

This is insane. Time for the rich to get richer off the incoming stock market roller coaster.

 

[Cromwell]

Northern Ireland and Scotland are already talking about breaking off from the U.K. right?

 

[vinnygambini]

Nikkei down 1100+ points. About 6.8%

My god.

 

[Out 1]

Fuck. Farage and Johnson are scum, but this is on Cameron and Corbyn.

 

[Mr.Mike]

So what happens to EU citizens already living and working in the UK?

 

[jem0208]

I called it Jem. Didn't know you were Welsh brother. Sorry the result didn't go how you wanted. Always welcome to come to Canada and the PNW, the real bastion for Halo.

I didn't want to believe you man.

 

[brain_stew]

How much further can Sterling drop? It doesn't seem to be stopping.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

This is insane. Time for the rich to get richer off the incoming stock market roller coaster.

Wonder who the tabloids will blame next, and who the poor people will get taken advantage of by!

 

[NeOak]

A wise investment would be to buy GBP when it bottoms out in the coming days.

Based on?

There has not been something like this.

 

[Interceptor]

When the uneducated majority fucks it up for everyone!

Yay!

Thats a pretty arrogant opinion.

I'm really confused by this, too. It's like everything is black and white, this or that, us or them. I understand that the argument on both sides is largely economic, but I think that perhaps people here will post a bunch of graphs of short-term economic (read: speculative) stock market/currency drops, and act like that alone, independently, proves every argument for leaving as wrong. It's just weird.

[Best]

If Scotland was to leave, how do they decide who gets a Scottish passport?

 

[Portugeezer]

Don't really buy that scaremongering. It doesn't matter now anyway, we aren't part of the EU now.

On our own I think we can negotiate back in fine. We gave a solid message to the EU tonight we still love them. 100 fucking %.

Scotland to join EU, becomes part of EU Army and invades rest of UK.

Indyref 2 : Coming soon

me neither, but for an estimate, check out google finance or yahoo finance sites, can see how much the canadian $ stregthened against the pound. Theres charts to see the differnce over 1 day, 5 days, months, year, etc.

 

[JordanN]

wikipedia is on fire

 

[Tak3n]

Leave nearly a million ahead, it is no longer close, infact a bit of a kicking

 

[cdyhybrid]

It's going to happen in the US as well lol

Take it to the bank. Trump wins.

Trump is already up shit creek and the left haven't even pulled out the big guns on him yet. Trump will not win.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Well, Cameron's first real step toward power was fucking a pig, seems fitting that his last act would be fucking a continent.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Just like Trump isn't racist, the Leave campaign isn't racist.

Put two and two together? I'm asking why, even towards other members, leavers are being labelled racist. Why are they being labelled racist and bigots? What has the movement they're supporting done to cause this kind of reaction?

 

[Enjolras]

I don't know if devastated is an exaggeration or not at this stage, but yeah.

Didn't think England and Wales would actually go that far on Leave. At least Scotland made good decisions.

Time for bed, I think.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Northern Ireland and Scotland are already talking about breaking off from the U.K. right?

Oh yes the thing is we were promised if we voted to stay in UK, we would be staying in the EU, that clearly was a lie.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I haven't been following this.

Why is everyone branding people who vote leave as bigots and racists? What's up with that?

I genuinely don't know the positives and negatives of both options.

A strong part of the leave campaign was based in similar ideas to Trumps such as stronger borders and completely ignored the idea of the GBP freefall we're now enjoying.

 

[2MF]

So what happens to EU citizens already living and working in the UK?

I am one, and I expect I'll be fine. I don't think anyone has talked about kicking anyone out, or anything like that.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Economic collapse vs. Stop the influx of Muslims . Choice is clear. Cut off the nose to spite the face.

I'm surprised at the spattering of posters here that are surprised at the extremely negative reaction to this

 

[Phased]

If this can become a reality, Trump can become a reality.

I don't think so.

In the U.S. the "Immigrants are coming to take our jobs!" line doesn't go as far to scare up votes.

We're a nation of immigrants. You have a couple border states and deep red states in the middle who definitely think that, but by and large the majority of the nation does not.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

It's going to happen in the US as well lol

Take it to the bank. Trump wins.

Very little chance of that at the moment. Hillary would have to be indicted to tank that hard.

 

[Glass Shark]

So is this a done deal? I thought I read something that this vote would have to lead to another one that would make the actual decision.
