What I got from it was, that the UK is sick of the EU being the bureaucratic mess that it is right now, and wants to leave the whole thing and be "independent" from it. They already have all sorts of exceptions for most of the things happening in the EU. But when they would really leave, they would be in a difficult economic situation because all the trade agreements they had because of the EU would have to be newly negogiated, which would take a lot of time. Also it would mean that a lot of the banks in the City could leave for continental Europe because they need to be present in the EU area. As for the EU, it could trigger a chain of votings across Europe if your country wants to stay, and potentially the EU as a whole would just break apart. I don't want the UK to leave tho. We need them and they need us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polls, betting agents and the markets were all suggesting a remain win, it's too early to tell yet but the first major city Newcastle (expected to vote heavily Remain) was a lot closer than expected- I suppose it's too early to tell whether that's an anomaly or what. Hoping for a remain result, was unfortunately expecting a leave result but idk now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically they're going to go down with the failing system no matter what, but it won't be as harsh if they leave beforehand because they can begin making preparations.

It's a very, very complex issue that everyone has different views on. To put it as basic as possible; being a part of the EU gives you a safety net as they absorb your falls (but also your highs) and it gives you other perks but at a cost. The Union is outdated, biased and has some dodgy dealings. It really needs an entire overhaul and hopefully if we do leave, it inspires others to leave so we can create a better union. I voted to remain because I hope we can improve the EU whilst being in it but it's too close to call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
