Brexit thread - what happens next

[Destination]

And this is the main problem with a lot of people in business, they are knee jerking far too much. it is also the reason for global markets going ski whiff, nothing but knee jerk reactions.

It isn't knee jerk, it is sensible from smaller people, many of whom are in borderline jobs, jobs only recovering after 2008 now.
So, say you are a plumber, and the person in the borderline job was going to have a new bathroom, brexit compromised that, so he does not get the bathroom. The plumber has no work, and so on.

This is what is happening, and it is not knee jerk, it is sensible reaction of not spending money you might not have. That is until the uncertainty is resolved.

Then it's something the government should have addressed, even if it was stating that a Yes vote would have triggered his resignation and a new general election.

The government campaigned as pro-Remain, it's not hard to see why they didn't come up with an exit plan.

Anything the Leave campaign stated in the campaign could only ever be something that would (or might) have been possible post exit, as non of them have any power to act on it.

It's nice that you (and others) are trying to back out of the responsibility that you have helped create. That the rhetoric has changed from "we can do this that and the other to make Britain great again" to "well leave aren't technically in charge, so all the nice stuff we said before the vote we can't fulfill because its not up to us" is really rather sad, and a poor abdication of responsibility.

the `younger generation` voted to join the EEC in 1975 , yet 41 years later and a lot of them voted leave.

wonder why??

Me and my mates never.

So you don't think they have the right to be upset with you, after you contributed in ruining their lives, their children's lives, and their country?

Not really no. I didnt persuade the other 17m to vote a certain way. In fact I didnt persuade anyone else to vote (in either direction). I cant really see how anyone can think that a friendship should be thrown away and all the years of things that have been through together , purely because of the way someone voted in a vote. I personally would never do that to anyone. I like people for who they are, not for their opinions on race, sexuality, morality or political leanings.

What is all this bull about the younger generation. Look at the turnout of the younger generation. Not even half of them turned out.

25% apparently

It translates to Birmingham

If that's true is ridiculous as it isnt as result of our membership of the EU and Brexit will have very little effect on it.

It is true in parts, people though leaving the eu means the 'brown' people some how magically leave.
It is why the worry of the right must now be dealt with, as they will push a racist agenda thinking they have a basis of an electorate, as they too didnt understand the referendum result.

Islamification.

Because the older generations vote overwhelmingly selfishly? They've gotten what they want out of the EU, now its time to pull the ladder up under themselves so the younger generations can't enjoy the same liberties.

 

[Skunkworks]

This whole referendum thing has been so divisive. I've actually had acquaintances of mine tell me they want nothing more to do with me because I voted Leave. Craziness.

How could you vote against love and hope?

I don't have to ``explain` anything at all to you

Apparently I am the reincarnation of Hitler according to some people.....so I blame genetics and destiny

The younger generation ?? What the ones still at university, never had a full time job, paid any taxes and still living off their mum and dad (the older generation that voted to leave). This is what happens when you let children win at everything, they can not handle defeat. Life doesn't allow everyone to be "winners" and that it's the taking part that counts !!

 

[Martini1991]

This whole debacle from the remain camp setting up petitions etc is pathetic. The leave vote won and that is that. Why did no one suggest a larger margin beforehand ? Everyone knew it would be close but because the remain camp were sure of victory they kept quiet. That is until they lost. You can not pick and chose when you want democracy !

I voted leave not because I'm a racist but because I do not like propping up a failing dictatorship that is the Eu. If it relies on one country to keep it together then it can not be that strong in the first place and obviously needs drastic change. And before people say we had a better chance to change from within, if Maggie thatcher couldn't get Britain a better deal then no one we have could.

How can the unelected (by the people) Eu leaders be more powerful that the elected heads of states of the individual countries. You can not make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. The bbc has been so one sided telling people of the doom and gloom, interviewing people that wanted to remain as well as picking a few random divs off the street, just to sell more news. It is pathetic. The vote is over, now we have to look to the future. If you do not want to come along on the journey then move to the eu now before the world explodes and Godzilla attacks

The petition was made in May, but don't let that stop you.

And while I'm remain, I'm sternly "What's done is done" (As far as the public go), although frankly for a leave vote, I feel there should have been a greater swing for it to actually go through, given the massive challenges.

No, everyone under 50.

No offense, but I think you might be in denial about the ramifications of your actions.

You can't expect people to remain friends with you, when every time they turn on the news they see the consequences of your actions. But hey, the media will move onto other things and times a healer!

because they vote based upon life experience - when an entire industry *fishing* has been wrecked (in there opinion) by the common fisheries policy , they vote that way so their sons and daughters have a chance where they don't.

or do you think hope is a bad thing?

as for France - I`ve worked in rural France , its a nasty place if your not a local
