The Scotland issue is interesting, does a vote to remain in the EU mean a vote to leave the UK is more likely or does Scotland see membership of the UK more important?
Please give an explaination as to why i am wrong.
72% of the voting population voted and 48% of them voted to remain, 48% of 72% is about 34.5% of the overall voting population.
Who's going to be the fall guy to take us out? Nobody wants to touch that particular poop.
Where would you go? Curious as to how many European languages you speak fluently.
Exactly this. it is misplaced anger to blame the ordinary people who were persuaded to vote Leave by disinformation, outright lies and hate rhetoric taking advantage of the extremely difficult economic conditions they have been forced to live under for way too long now.
Who can blame anyone for being angry and disillusioned at being constantly trampled by the privileged classes in this country, squeezed by austerity that wasn't their fault, exploited by zero hours contracts and competing for jobs with lots of migrants undercutting wages. But sadly their anger was misdirected onto the EU by the right wing for their open advantage. That's the real scandal.
I suspect there'll be a lot more anger when such Leavers wake up to the fact they've been manipulated, that there won't be any change to immigration, they won't be spending 350m a week on the NHS, there won't be any replacement for the regional development money currently dished out by the EU. But by then it might be all too late to stop the slide down the toilet bowl, which is where UK politics and the economy are heading if Brexit isn't halted.

You only need B1 level German to get German citizenship. And if you're married to a German you can get it in three years. Why, yes, we have looked it up, why do you ask?
That's fine unless more countries do take the plunge regardless. Each one gives the EU less power to wield. I firmly believe if one more country decides to leave, it's the end for the Eu as we know it now.Going to get messy, Europe has absolutely no reason to make this easy for us. Actually, they will make it as difficult as possible to dissuade others from doing the same.

Because they didn't vote to remain or, in fact, at all, it means they are instantly added to the leave camp? You don't see a flaw in that logic?
Remain over exaggerated and told lies also.
Not all of us voted on a 350 million figure. My reasons was for nation sovereignty.
Another referendum is certainly on the cards but there are two major obstacles I see; currency and the fact Spain will never allow a break-away country to join for fear of Catalonia then following.
Someone will take the leadership, even if the victor gets tarred for a situation beyond their control. The draw of the PM role will be too much. Ask Gordon BrownNo one wants to be the one to deal with the fallout from the actual exit.
So which is it going to be?
Ireland is an EU country, has quite relaxed requirements for citizenship and Dublin is doing nicely at the moment with a lot of US tech companies.
As selfish as it might sound the only way this ends well for the UK is if it damages the EU massively on the way out.
