@Frost: And Ireland isn't really looking to take the brunt of the English economy collapsing along with a fancy new border dividing their island in two. The greatest irony of all being that the ones to finally reunite the Irish are the same ones that caused the divide.
@Frost: And as for Scotland leaving, they just got two great reasons to leave and the biggest opposition to departing from the UK has already changed it's stance, it's all but official that Scotland is sticking with the EU come what may.
@Frost: It was a multitude of elderly and undergraduates, and this is a potential issue due to the sharp divide potentially leading to a class war, especially with the English economy taking a nose-dive.
@Censuur: Depends if Scotland actually manages to leave. Without their oil money, the UK is fucked.
And tone it down with the young vs. old rhetoric m8. I saw those polls, people in the 25-35 bracket were as high as 40% for Brexit. Are they going to keel over tomorrow?
@Frost: This catastrophe was propagated by the elderly that remember a time when Britain was a sovereign entity, and that time ended over 50 years ago, that country is no more and this pitiable attempt at a ressurection is forced on a young generation by people who won't live to see the consequences
@Frost: And the greatest joke of all is that the EU isn't going to be any weaker for it, countries like Germany are currently circling the dying Britain to feast on it's corpse, the fall of the pound and it's ravaged international position will mean cheap buyouts of whatever the EU deem to claim.
@Frost: Imagine any random province leaving a country, imagine any one of the United States separating from the collective, that's a fucking death sentence for that province/state as they have no competitive place on the market, and that's what Britain has now put itself in willingly.
@Frost: At this point the actual political influence over a countries domestic policy is practically non-existent outside of trade affairs (quotas etc) but that doesn't stop flailing politicians from blaming all their bungling on the EU.
@Frost: How the fuck do you figure? Only if you're completely unaware of what the EU is and does would you even think that, the EU has no influence over actual sovereignty since they rejected the proposal for the European constitution.
@Jarno Westhof: No, The united Kingdom stopped being united and that's about it, Europe is fine, England is not because they decided to scapegoat the EU for all their problems.
