That actually just happened. 


TL;DR: The UK just voted to leave the EU, shocking the entire world. Global markets are in complete chaos as people jump to "safe" investments.

I never voted, would have but was working ( ironically for the mk "elections" team lol )

I would have voted leave, my wife and entire family voted leave to

Mr Cameron has also resigned as prime minister

Now to see what the future holds

Ps - I get to keep my Hoover now, screw you EU lol

Short term it's going to hurt. U.S. hasn't even been hit yet and that will have affects rippling affects of its own for sure.


long term however... well, I don't know much about the EU, but from what I've heard the UK can still make agreements with the EU such as allowing free trade and travel. If that's the case and it does actually happen, I don't see this being a real loss for the UK.

defiantly an interesting result

yea uk was fine before the eu and will be again

W might still be part of the EUA whatever that is anyway

It'll all settle eventually, then we have the Scotland thing to deal with

yup, this is gonna spark another Scottish referendum

Yea defo will

Scotland majority voted in, so are now saying have been dragged out

My city turns out was fairly divided

49 / 51 %

yup, this is gonna spark another Scottish referendum

As disappointed in the result as I am (being a remain voter) this will now kick start a campaign for a second independent referendum for Scotland and one I would expect us to win this time too so although a negative result it has positives as well.

Still a disappointing result nonetheless though.

• A second Scottish independence referendum is now inevitable, and looks likely they'll vote to separate
• Farage takes back the notion that we can spend an extra £350m on the health service, not even an hour after the result
• France overtakes UK as world's 5th largest economy after vote
• Cameron resigns, Boris Johnson of all people is the early favourite to win new leadership vote
• Northern Irish party Sinn Fein calls for a vote on a united Ireland
• "What is the EU?" trends in Google searches in the UK after result
• Many companies and corporations who get EU funding have already begun to lay off employees and move business elsewhere
• Young people aged 18-24, of which 75% voted Remain, have to deal with a future they don't want, decided by the older generation
• Trump supporters are congratulating the Leave voters

We are royally fucked.

• Trump supporters are congratulating the Leave voters

We are royally fucked.

I always feel a little happy to know there's morons on both sides of the pond

I really don't understand why people are making this out to be the end of the world... the UK still has about 2 years in the EU(or even longer). The UK can still maybe hammer out a deal that would give them the benefits of being a EU member without all of the bullshit. It's already stupidly complicated, so why not make it more so?

Yep, there is already talk of EU leaders making the UK an official partner of the European Union so we would keep some of the same benefits and perks without having to have any of our rules and regulations pass through the EU.

Being a Remain voter, I am disappointed, my area had a 70% Leave vote, which I expected no less.
Most people I know voted on the grounds of "it will stop immigrants coming over", thinking all the EU does is allow free movement, when the union is about a hell of a lot more, especially economically

You forgot to add that the pound is sinking like the Titanic and there are now fresh calls for a united Ireland as they fear they will enforce tight border controls between north and south, so that's gonna be fun too. I love how it's mainly people over 50 who voted leave and young people voting remain, this graphic illustrates it nicely -



A sad day, I am thoroughly gutted and ashamed of how gullible and easily led the British public really is. Trump will be US President soon, the world is truly going to shit. Can I vote leave Earth because I want to get off.

Edit: Oh you did mention Ireland, sorry I missed that.

Either there are more old people than young people or that graph is somehow wrong because number crunching that thing came out to 48% Leave and 52% Stay (roughly). Imagine if there were a conspiracy that more people did vote Remain, but someone smudged the numbers to make Britain leave.

Also, they'll be doing Mars colonization soon so save me a seat next to you, stevie
