If Brexit goes through, what are the chances for Scotland to attemp to leave again?

pretty much 100%

 

[Mr Cola]

It's feels like something out a greek tragedy that Cameron of all people is the one who is going to make Scotland leave the union and destroy the City as a financial hub.

I remember him saying if Scotland left last referendum that it would haunt him and tarnish his legacy

Oh dear

Welcome to the UK's view of the Government, they only ever focused on London, so this is the North's way of saying "Hey, screw you, 30 years of nothing, this is us repaying".

By ripping their own balls off?

 

[Smooth Operator]

French here, we'll miss you fellow UK people

Eurotunnel forever <3

 

[pigeon]

Probably not, because UK wasn't 100% in the EU in the first place, and will likely rebuild all the essential trade deals before making their leave official, making things economically similar between the EU and UK.

If Germany or France left, the EU would be in way more danger.

Nobody has any incentive to make it easy for the UK to leave the EU. I doubt anybody will negotiate any trade deals for a while.

 

[Silent Chief]

People. If we leave we will survive. This country has good fundamentals.

Will we be damaged? Yes. Will it kill us? No.

This isn't the end of the world.

If the pound drops low enough, you'll get more tourists.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

By stabbing themselves in the face?

It's pretty much a perfect example of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

 

[Gandalf]

315k lead! I go bang a shit, come back and Leave have started to run away with it :O

It's about when not if.

How do we, the USA, feel about this? Does it even effect us in any way?

Is there a good argument for leaving?

I reckon. Britain's been through worse. It's self inflicted though, that's the killer.

 

[Drencrom]

I can't believe its going to be the fucking Welsh that have done us in to this extent.

You fucking fog eyed cunts. The EU was POURING money into your fucking gullets. I wish a dragon did occupy the fucking land and torch it.

lmao

 

[Aureon]

300k lead. It's gone.

Can someone link me to info that has clear ramifications on the economy if brexit happens?
Talking to someone who denies it would be bad for the economy

GBP losing 8% in six hours should be a pretty clear picture.

 

[Geminosity]

Don't listen to all the fear. Honestly no one has any idea what will happen. The one thing that seems certain is that nothing will change for a while - leaving the EU doesn't happen overnight, it will take years for things to settle.

If you need help, we're here for you!

I wish I could give your post a thumbs up :3

 

[Sibylus]

So how much is Scotland regretting not leaving this dumpster fire not long ago?

 

[Coldnoodle]

So I hear your racist now UK.

What show is this from?

Oh my

 

[Hagi]

Yeah, fuck this.

I'm going to have a Big Wank and then go back to bed.

 

[Talents]

Colchester voted for leave. Interesting.

 

[jellies_two]

By ripping their own balls off?

more like taking them down with them.

I sort of feel there is a bit of a GFC revenge vote involved in all of this.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

How do we, the USA, feel about this? Does it even effect us in any way?

You can book cheap UK trips soon. Maybe.

 

[HK-47]

Dictatorship yeah. Picking fights with russia? not so much as putin bringing entire jets and missiles to the turkish border.

They are both antagonizing each other, its just Russia has the bigger dick and is the bigger dick.

 

[nephilimdj]

East of England kicking the EU ass. Proud to be from the webbed feet inbred area

Just wait for NewHam to be 99% stay

 

[Ashby]

I think it fucks up the stock market?

 

[fenners]

100%.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

I take a shower and come back to this leave surge, still a ways to go though.

 

[LAM09]

Leave leading just keeps growing. Not looking good at all

 

[antonz]

Sorry but this Trump crap is a bit silly, nothing to do with UK politics and what went down in the 70s and 80s, unions, strikes, fishing and the overriding feeling the EU was a mistake by large proportions during 80s by lots of classes.

There's also big democratic questions towards the EU that the US trump jokers wouldn't understand.

Trump comparisons are completely valid. You have a bunch of 1 foot in the grave types longing for the good old days of the British Empire when England kept its foot on the throat of all those pesky brown people.

You have polls showing large numbers of support for leave come from people who did not even finish school etc.,

Leave Campaign is 100% the typical Racist Republican style campaign of the US

 

[LoveCake]

This is very close indeed!

 

[Liberty4all]

Children of Men was kinda prophetic in retrospect

This isn't the end of the world.

The United Kingdom is literally famous for succeeding despite having terrible fundamentals.

 

[MetalSlug]

I hope that every area of Scotland votes remain and paints the map completely yellow.

[jem0208]

Is there a good argument for leaving?

It could, possibly, maybe get better at some point in the future.

It could also get worse.

 

[Ash735]

By stabbing themselves in the face?

Essentially, yes, if Remain wins, the North continue to get nothing and get ignored, if Leave wins, the North will be in the same position as they are now, just slightly worse, but London would be hit HARD.

 

[KingBroly]

Yeah, if Scotland is voting near-unanimously to stay in the EU, and UK votes to leave, Scotland's going to leave the UK for the EU.

 

[Syder]

Don't listen to all the fear. Honestly no one has any idea what will happen. The one thing that seems certain is that nothing will change for a while - leaving the EU doesn't happen overnight, it will take years for things to settle.

Co-signed.

There are a lot of people who will almost certainly lose their jobs though and that sucks.

 

[Macho Madness]

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Honestly, as someone struggling with severe depression, this kind of thing (which could impact me greatly) could be it. I don't know even know what to do.

Hey buddy. Don't worry too much. I have the same affliction. This will hurt the UK for sure, but even so, there's far worse places to be and situations to be in.

Scotland should really leave the UK and join up with us Scandinavians.

Sure! I went to Göteborg and Oslo last Sept. Had a great time! (yes, I know Norway are non-EU...I got cheap Lagavulin and The Botanist thanks to that!)

It's feels like something out a greek tragedy that Cameron of all people is the one who is going to make Scotland leave the union and destroy the City as a financial hub.

Oedipus Porcus.

 

[Lo-Volt]

The Labour party is now working on the assumption that leave will win, a source tells The Guardian.

And Labour has as much to think about as the Conservatives do; areas that have heartily supported Labour outside of London (like Sunderland) are rushing for the exit even when the leadership is largely in favor of remaining in the EU (the shadow cabinet more than Corbyn, but a lot of the Labour heavies are Europhiles). How is Corbyn going to bridge this widening gap in the party?

 

[BadHand]

Sheffield have voted to leave. Remain may as well pack it up now.

odds 70% in favour of Brexit now

http://politicalodds.bet/eu-referendum

 

[Bustanen]

Guess the GBP will tank now against EUR? Time to buy everything from UK before they leave.

 

[Fergie]

Holy shit. Just consistent leave results.

 

[Madness]

Leave leading just keeps growing. Not looking good at all

Been saying it for pages now. I think it is obvious it will be a small Leave win around 51-52% by the end of vote count. Remain just does not have the numbers anymore the way these results have come in.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Just think you had the best era of your country's existence without the eu

 

[Black Republican]

Ohdear.

Germany looking at this like. We out

 

[BennyBlanco]

Wow Remain just got a huge bump.

4,695,981 to 4,514,364

What caused the huge swing? I'm following on a spreadsheet.

Now the Scottish referendum threats over our EU membership look fucking hilarious.
