Come on, at this point you didn't vote because you're below the age or just wilfully ignorant.

where can I watch this eu parliament debate?
Yes, over the coming weeks and months we will see whether it is a dead cat bounce, or whether it is actually a sign of the bottom having already been reached.
This is where my problem lies with such comments. Do not take such comments lightly, lol he's not in power, yes not yet but don't underestimate humans. for all we know he could be in power when the next elections come along, that when start to panic for not seeing the signs. It took Farage 16 years to destroy not only his country but took the rest with him as well. Everyone one the representatives clapping there has a country full of people who are going to bleed for what happened last Thursday.
I can understand that, and you need to try and get the wider perspective out of your mind, and plan your finances for you and your family accordingly, be selfish.
You can't change what has happened, but if you are smart with your income and outgoings, you can mitigate some of the risks.
He's reading from the Trump playbook - base over all be damned and the basest base you can find.
It's kind of like Boris in a way.
The London Mayor actually has very little power compared to other big city mayors. Basically policing and transport are his two major areas, and even there he is limited by central government.
Yes but first the Labour party needs to tear itself apart and the Tories need a leadership contest.
Priorities.

The MEP behind Farage couldn't keep it together when Farage said the consequences would be worse for the EU than for the UK:

There is a leadership vacuum. Honestly I don't think many people of really high merit want to enter high level politics since it is so toxic. Instead we have to settle with irresponsible people like Cameron and Boris.

Sneering unelected MEP Eurocrat guffawing at our great elected MEP statesman who tells it like it is like we get all the good bits and no bad because BRITAIN HAS A FLAG
In other news, I loved this song anyway, but it encapsulates the feeling I have. Change NY to UK and a few other nouns and boom.

Yes, certainly Wilders and others like him shouldn't be underestimated. I think the bigger danger however is the long-term risk of a takeover of more Eurosceptic sentiments within more established parties. Part of the reason NL got much stricter on issues like immigration was because established parties like the VVD adopted the narratives of the LPF and PVV to poach votes.
Edit: That and the media, the Telegraaf Media Groep and in particular the weblog Geenstijl that they own constantly push a ridiculous anti-EU narrative. Sadly, the Telegraaf is the largest newspaper in the Netherlands by some distance and Geenstijl incredibly popular.
It's temporary. It's the reason why pound moved up at the end of the day the results were announced.
But it is not sustained, the "dead" in dead cat bounce should tell you that.

Fucking hell this is the perfect gif for this entire situation. Farage is the UK and the laughing guy is everyone else.
And to add a point to your argument:
The struggle to survive in a age of free information, leads newspapers to continue focus their attention to the biased population, which buys their papers, instead of including a width field of opinions. So you have newspapers fish in small pool with the most sensational headlines. No matter if they are true or not. While actually smart writers still have problems finding a stable market on the web and be visible enough for a big spectrum of people.
We people outside of the UK always laugh about there over the top newspapers. But it shows, that the harm they bring over their country, just isn't funny anymore.
Except the real result would be
The UK should sign up to EEA for a period of 5 to 10 years (soft transition) to allow businesses and people to get used to the idea and get ready, and in 10 years we hope that people forget that we ever voted to leave because we have no way to change this deal and no voting rights because we're now in an EEA deal.
Sounds like the expert on Sky might have been a leave supporter looking to limit damage by suggesting unrealistic things?

The EU parliament debate ended.
Here, maybe ? It's taking ages for it to load for me so I'm not sure.
edit: It's been over for a while though

The parts we're talking about right now are long over. I'm not sure the if debate is still going on right now, but I was watching it on Sky News Live who are now showing some choice bits from the debate.

Man, the EP's site is getting super hammered just as I try to find who's that laughing gentleman.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be worried in the future but right now there is no immediate threat of exiting the EU for the Dutch. Wilders would have to get a majority vote for a referendum to happen and right now he's at 50% of that, it's basically unheard of.

That is going to get some use around these parts.
Not an MEP. Health commissioner vytenis andriukaitis.
Great dude by the way. Doctor and resistance member diring Russian occupation in lithuania iirc.
The MEP behind Farage couldn't keep it together when Farage said the consequences would be worse for the EU than for the UK:
He's what would happen if your nan's facebook posts became sentient and somehow received an invite into the EU parliament
Well, right now he is way below 50% of a majority vote
By my count he's at 20%. After next elections, probably 50% though, sadly.
Because this boosts his popularity and he doesn't give a flying fuck about trade deals of any sort. He won't be held responsible for negotiating them.

So somebody who knows about 'independence days', I'd guess...
Farage, you fuckwit.
See, that sounds really bad. There might well be a good reason for it, but how the hell does the EU sell it? It's failing atm. Followed by...
...that sounds good! Oh this EU is confuzzling.

So, out of interest, when the Scottish MEP was speaking, at around 1:01 he says something I don't understand which I presume is something Scots? Anybody know what he's saying?
