We're nearly there. We have had the initial market shocks. I hope the EU doesn't wriggle out of this.
I appreciate that - just thinking out loud. I don't see why other countries wouldn't want more democracy at least, though.

I've been picking up on this as well. Just after Junckers press conference when he said Article 50 must be invoked straight away, Angela Merkel come on to say "don't be hasty".
I think next week that disconnect will become more apparent as calmer heads prevail.
We will see won't we?
I would have voted remain if the EU wasn't so stubborn on immigration. The current model is not sustainable and what are your views on fixing that if we voted remain?
The suggestion is you can freely move to another country with a condition you had a strong job offer low or high skilled.
Freedom of travel to other EU countries would not be affected but I think time limits on visiting those countries should be introduced.
Freedom of study in other EU countries works to be fair.
Yes we would get the money back in to central government (or more correctly never pay it in the first place).
What they are worried about is for example Boris spends it on hospitals as he promised.
All those arguments about that £350 million and how much of it we get back includes an awful lot of British losers if the government does not do the right thing with the money.
And when has a conservative government done the right thing
They are very correct to be worried.
Exactly. The whole £350m thing is a sham because it doesn't include the money we get back as part of CAP or regional/arts/project funding (Cornwall lol!) or money we would spend anyway on foreign aid, trade deals, co-investments, etc.
The real number, the amount of extra cash in our pockets, will be far, far lower.
The magic £350m didn't exist. Not only did the EU pile money back into the UK (they're funding the regeneration of Hull like they did Liverpool, and we've all seen the Cornish appeal to the UK government in lieu of the EU standing payment) but we already had a rebate in place that reduces the initial payment by a third and has done since the 80s.
I have seen a petition floating about to try and force a second vote. Can someone explain if this can actually happen? If so, what in the **** is the point in voting?
My small brain is struggling to understand
48% of 72% of people voted only equals roughly 34-35% of UK populace actually voted to leave. Also the fact that Nigel Farage went on record to say the big red bus stating £350million to the NHS was a "mistake" people are ****ed off... and a lot of people who vote to leave and now regretting that vote ( NOT ALL... just some ) probably enough to swing the vote the other way.
You also have that a lot of people who would have been quite happy to remain simply didnt vote.
AND you have people who are bitter about the result.

It now has 955,394 signatures, MPs that support Remain far outweigh the ones that dont, very like this could be pushed through.
After listening to lots of interviews with celebrating leavers in the big leaver vote area, the biggest common theme as to why people voted out has nothing to do with the EU.
Heard several more this morning from Sheffield. They said they voted out as "they were fed up that people down south thinking they are stupid and all have whippets and wear flat caps and they never listen to us. Well we showed them now."
It seems more of a vote against the establishment in general rather than an out vote.
I doubt Cameron will make any approaches asking for anything, this will have to come from the EU reaching out, which is why I doubt anything will come of it.
which makes even more of a nonsense of it all
they'll find "UK PLC" will have less money - the purse strings will be pulled tighter and they will hate the establishment even more
Gone up 11,000 since you posted, so you may well be right.

Unless I've missed something though, that's it - decision made, game over, wonder where it all went wrong. The EU want the UK out and quickly (not sure Article 50 demands up to 2 years or just allows for it) and there appear to be no second chances.

Ridiculous. Sick of sore losers. If it was the other way they wouldnt support this.
Them signatures are probably from kids.
LOL what?
People are still in denial, if it had gone the other way would you expect a second vote?
it was a binary choice and we've got the result
We still pay in more than we get out. You're right though, it'll probably balance out. Depends what happens with the trade deals.

We're nearly where? Whatever you think of the EU referendum result there's an awful lot of work that needs to take place to give effect to the outcome and a huge amount of negotiating to be done - this isn't going to be fast, easy or without significant challenges. However it is what the majority of those who have voted, voted for so I hope both sides remember that regardless of their feelings they still need to work together and increasing the divisions doesn't seem likely to help anyone.
You don't support it clearly, so what's your problem?
