Heard there was a poll in Germany that 80% supported UK to stay.

Well
That's why direct democracy sucks, because you think it's going to work out in the end due to common sense, but it turns out there are more shitty people out there than you think.
This sucks. UK doesn't deserve this, and having the pound drop so much within 12 hours? Sheesh. I'm sorry for all the UK gaffers :l

Sterling's slide worsens as pound approaches $1.33
The UK's currency has now fallen by 10.6pc against the US dollar, taking it as low as $1.3304.

And the London market hasn't opened yet!
Citation needed. The stock market isn't the economy. Its even more divorced from the economy most people participate in.

I have to hope Scotland separates and joins the EU in the future so I can get a Scottish passport through my Dad and grandparents.

I'm not from the UK, and I've only been loosely following this Brexit thing, but I'm sorry to hear these results. UKGAF, my thoughts are with y'all.
It's the fucking truth.

I'm so incredibly and utterly disappointed that the majority of British voters could act so shortsighted, irrationally and plain dumb.
My condolences to all the smart people who actually knew the fatal implication this would have.
I hope the EU doesn't cede an inch and makes an example out of England. The Union has to be protected and the last thing we need is the greatest project of our continent to collapse because of stupid nationalism, fear mongering and "well, England pulled it off".

Oh sorry, I misread your post.
They're really not idiots though. Maybe you should try listening to them.

Can an independent Scotland support itself economically?
I don't think they would allow it to drop further than 1.2

Why the hell do people keep bringing Trump's chances into this? There's a list that stretches a mile long why there's no comparison here other than "lol racism."

Bye bye UK, bye bye EU and help recession!!
Utterly devastated 😞😞😞

Trying to catch a falling knife is almost never a wise investment, doing it on currencies is even less so, and doing it on something that is driven by uncharted political actions is really risky if you ask me.

What's happening? Is this foreshadowing things to come in November?
help.
help.
Well, the major parties that support leave are composed of racists and bigots that engage in constant fearmongering.
There's no logical reason to vote leave and the only thing they managed to do was fucking their country up. There is no positives.
I guess the only thing I have to say is I'm not surprised.
I mean, when I went to bed last night the odds on leave were around 6/1. They shortened up to 7/2 at one point before drifting back out again. But if the last general election (the second of my adult life) taught me anything it's that odds and exit surveys don't mean jack. And it's proven right.

I don't live in the UK so take what I say with a grain of salt. A huge part of the leave platform was based on anti immigrant resentment. Not every one who wanted to leave had that as a reason, but a sizable ammount did.
At least now they'll have a higher percentage of less jobs.
I have, nothing they've said make any sense.
Especially in Wales where a shit ton of our support comes from the EU.

Even if you don't find Last Week Tonight funny, it's pretty important/influential. Well, in the US. The UK clearly doesn't care.
I'm wondering the same thing.

Before this no, but we have an opportunity to take advantage of the fact England and Wales and fucked, plenty of new opportunity for us.

It's pretty common. For all its faults, The Dark Knight was quite right with its universal messages. If you're in the game for too long, you become the bad guy.

Britain will survive, the EU will survive (for now), the Germans are probably furious since they've been controlling EU for quite some time now, intelligence gathering will still be shared, the market will shake up a bit but we'll live through this.
This is simply democracy at work.

Nothing! I said nothing!
The main reason seems to be that they blame immigrants for taking jobs, school places, doctor appointments, housing etc. We can't legally prevent EU citizens from coming here.
In reality immigrants greatly contribute to the UK economy and our public services are simply underfunded.
Yes, they really are.
I've just come home. Watching the BBC atm.
Farewell UK. You only had one foot in the EU anyway. I think sooner or later you would have left.
Damn I know so many french people who live in the UK who're going to have to come back to France. Hundreds of thousands of depressed french people right now.

Considering how it's going to totally mess up some pretty important trade agreements among other things it's not looking good for us :/
Nah, if you invest in anything out of this shitstorm it'd be gold. I hear the Yen is also benefiting from this.

Given this referendum thread has got over 15,000 posts, this would be the only vote and indeed a done deal.

Easy to blame UKIP but FUCK YOU, Remain voters too lazy to get out and vote.
Like people during the midterm elections in the US.
Well, they will have years to live with the regret of not going out to vote.
