If people across the globe are given better opportunities and able to develop, the entire world benefits. By taking such opportunities away, we're essentially widening the gap between the rich and the poor. **** everyone else, I want what's mine. The tory mindset in a nutshell. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris seemed to acknowledge as much in his speech, but I think he knows better than anyone that he's helped to unleash powers and sentiments that he can no longer control. It will take one hell of a job to appease people when the economy is still slow, inequality remains high, and healthcare remains in trouble. What will they do then? He gets to be King for a day which is probably all he wanted. Boris is independently wealthy so he'll be unaffected by this personally after he's done his shift as PM.

Dr_Pangloss Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Those who think we can open up to China should think again. China always saw us as a key strategic partner for Europe, in other words the UK was seen as a sort of European gateway for China. So not anymore huh.

Don't quite a few of the other member states have vetos? It's hard not to see at least one of them using it to make an example of us, if we ever did want to rejoin. In practice, who knows. Greendland is the only other country to have left the EU. Nobody's ever rejoined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, all (now) 27 member states would have to unanimously agree for us to rejoin - which is unlikely anytime soon as there's a high level of uncertainly and this Brexit stuff will likely affect the Euro, not just the Pound. I should imagine feelings toward the UK from EU states fighting against increased support for the right-wing may well be "hardened", and they'll refuse to let us back (if we wanted to be) easily at all.

Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2016 Cameron has to go down as one of the worst PMs ever. Gambled with the country to shore up Tory right-wing support. Muppet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 All new members of the EU have to have the Euro, so I can't see us ever trying to go back in. I suspect the EU is a bit buggered anyway, and it's largely of their own making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is every chance that our decision to leave could create a domino effect. Dutch politicians are already talking about the possibility of a referendum and it's fair to assume others will follow suit. The EU could could be ripped to peices in few years. With that in mind, i believe that there is no going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine China will be pouring investment into the UK whilst the economic outlook is highly suspect and that gateway to the rest of Europe is shut.

Davkaus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I can't see why any other country or international country would continue funding in the UK, at least for a few years until the future is more certain. We've given a collective middle finger to international trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to become a remittance economy, which some seem to be predicting, we'll need people working in other countries sending money back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Unless the EU makes some pretty substantial reforms there is no chance we'll be the only one leaving. Eurospecticism just as high as the UK if not higher in: France, Italy and Austria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
