Absolutely, England decided the fate of three other countries. Sounds like US Presidential elections with Ohio which I've always said isn't great.
Fuck off. 48% of Brits DIDN'T want this, should we be punished too?

Why? Are you based in the UK but were planning to liquidate everything and move overseas and now the UK pound drop of 8% is a disaster? It is very huge and interesting news and will be endlessly discussed - but I don't think the difference it makes is going to be that much to every day life. Unless you work for the EU while living in the UK or some other specific things.

Watch the american politics take this and spin it to their own political agenda.
Because 51% did, that's how democracy works.
Gold is always seen as a safe haven when everything goes to shit.
That's how democracy works
That's how it works
Ok, I don't know the nuances of it all, but surely by voting in the referendum you accept the vote, as it sounds like you are saying...we want to have a vote but if we don't like the result we are going to take our ball and leave....
If you feel like that, sturgeon should of said Scotland won't vote as we don't accept the result...but you voted

democracy doesn't work like that
So hoping our country totally folds helps the conversation, how?
There are BritGAF posters who will definitely lose their jobs now.
Oh, really? Read the post I was responding too, dude.
Wtf man why would you want people to suffer from their country leaving the EU ?
I hope the UK can stay strong and recover from this and I hope the EU learn from this and starts acting STRONG reform or other countries will follow. I'm French and I think we'd probably vote leave if a referendum was held tomorrow. Most people want to stay in the EU just because they're scared that going back to our old currency would wreak our economy but a majority of french people absolutely hate the EU.
I don't get reactions like this, if it went the other way by the same percentage you'd be happy?
Hypocritical comes to mind.
I believe Trump is going to be in the UK tomorrow to deliver a speech. You know he is going to bring it up.

How this did not require a supermajority is beyond me. So sorry BritGAF

Easier than tackling real arguments.
It is this overconfidence that scares me. Anyone stopped and asked themselves, despite this being the worst four weeks of Trump's campaign, he's only down by 5-6 points? He could win and for the same reasons Leave won.
Easy to blame UKIP but FUCK YOU, Remain voters too lazy to get out and vote.
I hope this scares the shit out of Americans looking at their polling averages and smugly declaring that Trump has 0 chance in November.
Angry nationalists can ruin it for everyone if they're pissed off enough and you're too complacent to even vote.

My prediction looks like it was bang on right. It doesn't feel good.

I have never felt so resigned to narrow mindedness in my life. I always thought the UK was a place largely filled with people who had some common sense. I took pride in that. And now looking to see obvious racists celebrating and patting each other on the back I don't know what to do with myself. I am just too tired to keep fighting this kind of shit anymore. I need to go to bed...

I'm surprised to see Leave won. I'm not from the UK, but I hope everything works out.

If you think being an American insulates you from this outcome, you're very wrong. The financial impact will be felt by every market.
Serfdom.

And a new meme is born ...
How dare he be angry at idiotic people that just fucked his country beyond measure and that fucked over millions and millions of people's lives in the processs.
Any chance this leads to a global recession like 2008?
But there was awful weather which could have affected the vote.
Having such a monumental, irreversible decision being determined like this isn't great. What if 3% people change their mind after the fact? We can't just undo this vote.
Oh yes. And worse.
Complex economic situations couldn't be distilled into bite sized emotional chunks for ignorant hateful people to digest. But brown people to blame for all problems can and will continue to be even as UK and EU as a whole turns to shit.
