None of it really matters.

You will keep working and earning roughly the same as you would have ceteris paribus, whether in or out of the EU.

Your kids will go to the same schools.

There won't be a WWIII.

Nothing much will change either way.

I wouldn't be so sure about salaries per se. In a brexit it is likely the GDP would decline and unemployment increase.

OK so one out of three, possibly 2 out 3 if Cameron resigns and Boris moves in

OP - don't even ****ing joke.

If Trump wins the US election I am genuinely worried about the Western world. And I don't tend to worry about anything really.

MikeB · 24 Jun 2016 at 07:45

Same, several loony leaders is not in anyone's interest

Pleased about Brexit, think Boris could be worth a shot, trump is a step too far though

Given the stupidity of what's happened over night, I can see Trump winning now

We're in NATO. Attack on one is an attack on all.

I don't know what the deal is if you provoke it though?

We were in NATO when the Falklands were invaded, only participation of our 'allies' was supplying missiles to the enemy

We do vote for MEP's or at least I do (sometimes).
Andi.

You do but they're not the ones making the laws in the EU so that's where the complaint stems from.

The legitimate Syrian government asked Russia for military help to fight the terrorist groups that are slowly but surely ripping the country apart, and he obliged. How is that warmongering?

Christ, you sound bought and paid for by Assad himself. The "legitimate" government, the same one shooting and bombing civilians?

Have you seen Russias bombing? It's not exactly surgical.... to put it lightly.

So much is in play right now, will be a fascinating 2016, if those two scenario's played out with Putin warmongering on the side we could be in one of the most significant periods of history in the modern age
