Could we see BoJo and Trump leading the free world by the end of the year?

What a time to be alive!

I just wish I'd put a bet on leave 🙁

I wouldn't even check the markets for 24hrs as they're just going to be going mental.

I'm already picking up talk of an early General Election... Great another 6 months of uncertainty.

What uncertainty?

Labour might win?

So...as it stands.

1. We are going to leave the EU.
2. Certain politicians/people are going to be insufferable
3. The £ is toast for now
4. I am going to be knackered all day and am down a tenner.
5. We're all going to live with Jamba's missus.

Is the result actually binding

No apparently not, and a very close vote might allow for CMD to weasel a "new deal with EU but remain" but... It wouldn't be very democratic and he'd lose his job (if he hasn't already) - I shudder to think it, but Bojo might be remains only hope - his early position was to use a leave vote to renegotiate - but I'd bet he'll use it to ride into No10 for a few years.

Looking at the Grauniad's rather excellent graphic
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2016/jun/23/eu-referendum-live-results-and-analysis

it seems that the country has been largely f***ed by Yorkshire.

Just one thing. 49 million registered to vote. So far, 28 million-ish have been cast...

Probably part of a long term plan for eventual independence.

I have been eyeing a bike for sale at Evans. Should I wait until my Swedish kronor truly crushes the pound into the dirt or chill for a bit?

This has happened because our leaders have failed to address the concerns and anxiety people have about immigration.
Theres been no action in the last twenty years and no narrative to support it throughout this referendum campaign, not even recognition of it as a real issue for lots of people.

2. Certain politicians/people are going to be insufferable
3. The £ is toast for now

and quite how do you get the pound up? How do you increase confidence in the UK economy?

CPI

1 Food & non-alcoholic beverages 11.0 High 23
2 Alcohol & tobacco 4.3 Medium 4
3 Clothing & footwear 7.0 Medium 11
4 Housing & household services 12.8 Medium 4
5 Furniture & household goods 5.9 Medium 10
6 Health 2.5 Low 3
7 Transport 14.9 Medium 6
8 Communication 3.1 High 2
9 Recreation & culture 14.7 High 17
10 Education 2.6 High 1
11 Restaurants & hotels 12.1 Low 8
12 Miscellaneous goods & services 9.1 High 11

Which ones go up and down with a pound in the gutter?

@ernie_lynch

Like it or not, our economic health rests on the shoulders of 'the city' what happens their reflects in the real world - in the global economy good news is good, bad news is bad, but the unknown is far worse - the crash we'll see today isn't just because we're leaving the EU, it's mostly because no one knows what's going to happen - so all the people with money, and the hedge funds, and the investment banks and everyone else will abandon us almost immediately for safe havens (gold usually) the shock usually comes with a back-wash tomorrow or Monday will be the worst - Daves speech at 8am will set the tone.

We need to carefully manage things now to try to avoid disaster and a depression, a snap general election would leave us in chaos and effectively leaderless - anyone calling for an election today is killing us for the sake of themselves.

Or people refused to listen to any of the evidence on immigration and ignored most of the facts. But hey that's just what it is...

interest rates upto 15% used to be the preferred method 😉 would make the BTL market very, well, competitive !

Which is bullshit.

We're not ****ed because of immigration. That's a convenient smoke screen. Do you want to know why we're ****ed?

We mortgaged ourselves up to the hilt then the banks lost everything. We told everyone they could be a graduate and we lost out on people with real skills. Our small mindedness destroyed any industry we had via unions and incompetence. We want the biggest TV at the cheapest price. We want a new car every three years. We have maxed out credit cards and two weeks in Marbella to show for it.

That's why we're ****ed. I'm beyond caring about the swear filter. You've been fed a lie and swallowed it hook line and sinker

How's that? Calling a general election doesn't normally leave the UK in chaos and effectively leaderless.

And it tends to remove short term uncertainty.

The majority party is split in 2, the opposition is about to pull out it's knives, UKIP is buyoant and the SNP only represents a small part of the population. A majority of current MP's don't support Brexit so finding candidates to lead a brexit movement for a party without complete implosion will be a huge achievement.

It's funny, looking at that Guardian map you can see how he city areas want in and the countryside areas want out. As for Wales, it looks like the areas with high Government employed people voted in and he rest shouted out. Scotland was predictable.

Will be an interesting few days to say the least.

Stunning. A wonderful result for democracy. A rejection of a failed political project. The EU has had multiple opportunities to reform and it has rejected them.

Why am I not surprised that there is a lack of humility from many here ?

Now we have to make the bold move and trigger Article 50.

So. Scotland feels forced into something it doesn't want and will have another referendum. Then leave the UK. There'll be a border vote in Ulster. They will join the Republic. The UK will diminish to England and Wales, surrounded by former partners who now despise it. Then there's the social fabric of what's left. If the promised heaven on earth doesn't materialise (!) the resentment may be too much to hold it all together and "The Queen's Peace" might be a tad difficult to maintain...

@ernie_lynch

A General Election result removes uncertaincy, a 6 month election campaign on the other hand would have the opposite effect and the last thing we need right now - plus it would be more of a one-topic election than last time, the public will expect an return v stay out position from every party - Labour and the Tories can't both be in favour of return if 52% of the electorate just say out, so would labour stand on a platform of return when the most pro-Eu part of the U.K. Didnt vote for them last time?

And the leave idiots who aren't happy about unelected Brussels bureaucrats but Will happily roll out the bunting and wave a flag when someone in the royal family decides to roll their diamond encrusted horse and cart through the streets of London.
