    Brexit

    That UK actually is going to be leaving the EU in all likelyhood (the referendum isn't legally binding).
    Or the reactions from people online making it out to be the worst thing to have ever happened.

    UK leaving the UK lol

    They have 2 years to leave, and they will leave. I don't think you understand the reaction of citizen whose Government actively works against what the majority has voted for. There would be riots.

    Also, it's pretty bad so far. Look @ Ireland and Scotland's reactions; you can't say that won't have any consequence on Britain.
    There are pros and cons of both sides.

    If they voted to stay, people online would me making that out to be the worst thing to have ever happened. People on the internet just like to bitch.

    THE UK ISN'T THE UK ANYMORE!!!

    No, but yeah. What were the pros for leaving that are actually pros?
    I mean, they said they wanted more sovereignty but they still have to obey the EU trading rules to trade with EU.....

    I just don't think that's true. They are goods that the EU will want, and that will allow the UK to have a say in how they trade for it. Before, they were forced to trade in specific ways due to laws. They also paid a few billion a year to the EU to be in it. They also don't want all the immigrants there that they were forced to take, taking hundreds of thousands of jobs (probably more than any other EU country).

    Plus, wouldn't you want your own country to be in control of itself? They feel that non-Brits are making decisions for their people, and they don't agree with that.

    United Kingdom of England And Wales*

    From what I've heard, if Brussels and the rest of Europe actually does follow through on their (I guess you would call it an )ultimatum that Britian won't get Norwegian, Swiss, Icelandic (EFTA-country's) status, then they would have a harder time( in reference to trade restrictions) in trading with EU and vice-versa, but they in theory, "could" trade on their own terms but that is dependent on whether the EU is willing to sign trade treaties (and on what terms) with the UK, which would be better from the UK perspective, but then we still have problems with UK citizens living in EU countries and how visa and residency will be enacted, among other things.

    There is also another problem.
    The UK has to update its commitments,rights,obligations,etc. and to all WTO countries since traditionally the WTO commitments were applied to the EU as a whole, and therefore the UK has to enter into negotiations with member countries on the rights of access to their markets.

    The other potential benefit was other rules/regulations/decisions and funding to the EU that the UK would no longer be required to implement, but as a consequence the UK government will have to take oversight and implement organizations to take over any gaps such as no longer being within the jurisdiction of Europol.


    What's sorta interesting is that for The UK wanting control of itself now N Ireland and Scotland really want control for themselves as well[calls from both areas to hold or re-hold referendums to secede and assumedly rejoin EU or an EU country in N Ireland's case]. (Spanish FM also just renewed claim on Gibraltar, since mostly remain vote, although the residents of Gibraltar have always been against leaving the UK to join Spain.)
    It's also going to be interesting to see how far the domino effect takes this. Such as if Scotland secedes and manages to join the EU will Catalonia then try to ramp up efforts on seceding from Spain and so on.

    Also Based On EU Criteria for membership( https://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/poli...p/index_en.htm )
    The UK appears to be required to leave the EU
    ---"having the consent of their citizens – as expressed through approval in their national parliament or by referendum."

    It's also possible that The US will now have less involvement in European Affairs without having a speaking piece through the UK.

    The biggest takeaway from this outside the economic repercussions is that it shows

    A- There is a large divide between the young(mostly remain) vs the old(mostly leave) (see table)

    B- There is a large divide in the country in general between opposing (world) views. This was evident regardless of the choice that was made.
    C- There is a sharp divide between the current government and the people.
    D- Scotland And North Ireland Are Really Contrasting Against England+Wales (See map)

    *Literally made a line on the border of scotland/england on map

    Here's The "Plan" Set forth by the government prior to the referendum

    Note: Document Above Is Biased in favor of remain since current UK government wanted to stay in EU.
