That would be bad idea, possibly un-settling the markets again?

I was referring to the superstate not the currency
But you're right...
I see what you mean. You are correct a federal system with such diverse members, economies, laws and tax systems was always going to struggle.
Judging by the number who insisted on using a pen to vote, you may have been one of a few sane voices in a large braying mob.
Wasn't it QT when Farage stated the money spent on the EU should be diverted to Doctors, hospitals and schools??
Very little would change. It was about 55% England only.
Thee are still only a so many fish in the sea and so many new fish each year. Leaving the EU isn't going to help them. The best they will get (from a conservative government) is increased quotas, which will last a couple more years before fish stocks plummet even more.

On the bright side, Raheem is no longer the worst performing Stirling.
Heard the BBC interviewing people in Hartlepool which voted 70% in favour of out.
I'm shocked at what was said and I can understand how the out side won the vote now.
Why did you vote out?
"Its a mess living here now and can't be any worse being out of the EU so voted out."
Aren't you concerned about the exchange rate and stock market drop?
"nah, we don't go on holiday to those foreign places so not bothered about getting less Euros to the pound and we don;t own any shares"
I suspect that quite a few voters for out did so on a similar basis.

I never thought I would ever in my life say this but I'm thinking the south of France. And obviously Scotland but if do go I would like somewhere a bit warmer.

More of this please..
Read that sentence back to yourself.
Nigel Farage has as much power on where that money goes (real or otherwise) as you and I do, and its just an opinion.
You don't even have to be in Europe to enter just a member of the EBU - European Broadcasting Union. Hence you get Israel entering it.

Do you think we will rebuild Hadrians wall with a big gate in it, if so we can send Sturgeon all the unwanted immigrants whilst smuggling food down to the starving English
Also - because public service spending per head in Scotland is higher than in England and Wales they won't be able to afford to continue with free prescriptions anymore along with other freebies allowed at the expence of the rest of us.
You do realise Hadrian's Wall is mainly in England as in Wallsend. Only gets near Scotland at the Solway Firth.
Oh I think that is about the only definite of the day.
We will not be winning the next one.

They were only 600K in favour, take it away and the overall % doesn't move much tbh.

Was it not an abysmal turnout for the Scots, something like 25%?
Chill one and all. Sure there are rocky roads ahead, but from revolution often comes great change and often that's for the better, though can be for the worse. Act in haste repent in leisure, it's now up to you, the younger generation to build what the future looks like. If you feel strong about it, move into a place that can effect change, don't moan and make threats about what you think you will do, but won't. Both sides of the argument had badly formed agendas, so don't get hung up on what might happen and doom and gloom. Could be chance to smash EU 1 and build EU 2.0, think others with leave in the next 3 years. Could be a chance to make something very different and more controlled and powerful, could be something that wrecks us all and leaves us in huts but the people will make the difference. Always have, always will.
Do you think the average voter knows that? The point is, it's more disinformation and empty promises that people would have genuinely based their vote on.
The very point that the money spent on the EU would be directed to things like the NHS was repeatedly drummed out by LEAVE supported over social media.
