Britain has not paid any bailouts, how the **** did you vote on something that is completely untrue, people like you who dont know the facts and the ball**** of the leave campaign have completely ****ed this country over because of ****ing tory infighting and cameron thinking that there would have been another hung paraliament.

Bull**** :D

Also I am pretty sure we contributed to the Greek bailout? Then discussions took place to ring-fence our money in future bailouts?

in 2 years time when we get to the end of the article 50 negs everyone is going to realise what they have just done, by which time of course it's going to be too late.

Everyone buying Farage et. als. weasel words about retaining trade whilst stopping free movement of people from the EU are delusional. What we will end up with is getting hamstrung with mental rulesbut now without even the chance to participate in shaping any of those rules.

Seriously everyone enjoy the next 2 years and party hard, because come 2019 the party is over and all those delusional halfwits will sit back and go wow, this isn't what we voted for.

This country is has pretty much just committed hari kari. We have go nothing to really bring to the bargaining table that will make the EU willingly give us what we want. In fact it will be the opposite. The UK is going to get heavilly punished with all kinds of punitive measures to set an example to any other EU countries that are thinking of doing the same thing before contagion sets in. We will be more likely to have another EU wide war before we get free trade with no free movement of people passed by the EC

Very well put, the EU has to realise that if they go "easy" on Britain others will pile in so even if they do not want to necessarily hammer us to ensure their own survival they probably will do.

My two cents as to why remain are acting like sheep's, its in part because we are jumping into the uncertainty somewhat. Staying in while crappy for those who voted leave would have mostly been about maintaining the status Quo which is a fairly well known factor.

It's not about status quo necessarily. There are ways to change our situation without taking drastic measures like this. We weren't in such bad shape that something was desperately needed immediately.

But now, everything is just up in the air. It's like a gambler throwing in all their poker chips on a bluff. Might it end well for them? Sure. But they've also left themselves open to a high chance of total disaster. And THAT is what people dont like. People dont like that a high-stakes gamble on their and their country's future has won out.

Has nothing to do with 'being sheep'.

Anyone worried about the pound and markets don't, I went away one year and 1 pound was the same as 1 Euro and the shops where taking English money.

Yes, you did - in the middle of the global financial crisis responsible for years of subsequent austerity!

Couldn't agree more. But then large proportions of exit voters are not interested in experiencing other cultures, or having a broader perspective on life.

Except that's not the case. We're not barred from those countries. We can still visit and with the correct process apply to live there. You know, like people do with every country in the world not in the eu.

They pay less, but are involved in fewer areas. Eg. they aren't part of the CAP, so don't get money from that. Aren't involved in the CFP. Etc. Saying they pay less, so have a better deal, is stupidly simplistic.

As has been covered previously, the fact Liechtenstein apply the emergency brake permanently does not mean we'd be able to if we were in the EEA... they have a population the size of a insignificant town here... our situations aren't comparable. Can you demonstrate we'd qualify to trigger the emergency brake? You sound confident, so is that based on anything other than a guess and Lichtenstein's example?

Actually it is based on high pressure on services and infrastructure which the UK is suffering badly with at the moment. However these are all part of the negotiations that will take place. We will state our position and the EU will state theirs. It will force a middle ground and a win-win situation for both sides. Number 1 which is an easy win for both is trade. Then they will work through the rest.

I voted leave, in hindsight i do sort of wish i voted remain.

I bet there are more than a few people who feel like this. A lot of people are used to the idea that their vote is a protest and is detached from actual outcome.

There was a fella on the BBC this morning saying the same thing, saying he wouldn't have voted leave if he thought they had any chance of winning...
 
I was thinking about this earlier, there must be a lot of people who didn't vote with an informed opinion getting caught up in this and voting one way or the other.

Perhaps it would be interesting to see what the outcome would be if the referendum was rerun with people now knowing for a fact what an uncertain future we face?
