I'm not even from the UK and I know this number is actually 200something million pounds given that the 350million figure has been debunked.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/reality-check/2016/may/23/does-the-eu-really-cost-the-uk-350m-a-week

Given what the UK would have to spend to regain lost services from the UK, it ends up being around that number too.

So you really have gained nothing.

In the long term I believe we now have potential. The number remained at £350 million we had to allocate £350 million every week the eu chose to give us a small amount back but it was in their untrustworthy hands to decide. People have had enough!

Why are you sticking to the 350 million figure? It's outright wrong.

UK sends around 250million in order to engage in the EU's activities.

So basically the UK would have to spend money to re-enter the EU market and reform its trade deals which would be considerably less in favor of it. It would also lose a lot of the funding from the EU, most notably around Wales. 

You aren't gaining a "small" amount back.

You can argue that the EU did have authority over the macroscopic dealings of the UK but to claim that the EU controlled the citizens of the UK is preposterous. 

According to statistics, the people that have had enough are consistently shown to be the poorer, less informed, and less educated of the bunch who don't  even realize that the only reason they aren't poorer, even less informed, and even less educated is because the EU prevented that from happening.

I wish them luck because their situations are about to get terminally worse. This anti-intellectualist mentality needs to stop. No the people do not know what's in their best interest compared to politicians and economists. They rarely do. What you're seeing isn't an act of democracy, but an idiocracy.

Oh well. The die has been cast. Britain will recover over time, but the United Kingdom as we know it is doomed. 

I hope your life isn't too disrupted. I wish you well.

i think the opposite. People who seem to be unsure voted remain whereas most passionate and people who read up on this seemed to vote leave with sooo much passion!!!

I'm not going to pretend to know or argue UK politics with you. You know your country better than I do. The only thing is that right now  there has been a huge negative impact resulting from the vote and it affects not just the UK. The US Dow is down 400 points because of the vote too.

We're not doomed in the slightest.

You misunderstand. I'm referring to the band of nations not the nations themselves. 

I mean that Scotland will no doubt seek independence, with Northern Ireland and Gibraltar following suit now that Ireland and Spain are making their moves.

Europe is not splitting up. Today we have decided to leave a corrupt organisation, which has took advantage of us for decades now, we have gained control over all our decisions, we have said goodbye to having to allocate £350 million a week to fund the EU which is completely falling apart. With the money we are saving we can build a new hospital every week. This decision was a no brainer for the benefits to our nation. The EU may end up splitting up but Europe is still intact we will still trade to European nations they will still trade with us NATO is still strong.

Wooo Lord honey they've already said that money is not actually going to be allocated to the NHS.

 

Y'all been had.

Did anyone see how this is impacting thoughts in the U.S.?

There's a nationalist movement rising in Texas supposedly. They're saying they should look towards the Brexit as inspiration about how they too can control their own destiny

How can they say anything positive. The British pound is at its lowest value in thirty years and Scotland is ready to leave the UK. How has the UK become safer or stronger?

I think if they want to leave the UK then they should be able to. But it does seem like a lot of hastle especially been as Scotland not long ago voted to stay with us. We may have to settle for a smaller economy but we can still be strong.

TBH I'm in shock still that we are leaving. I'm really happy but I'm surprised

Well it's led by Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin so it's safe to say they know nothing about anything.

I'm clueless as far as UK politics (or European politics as a whole for that matter) but judging from the response that most people have...I mean, it's like the world is ending

I'm glad you're happy  I hope everything turns out for the better. Like Bernie Sanders said, this is a sign that the global economy isn't working for everybody. I just hope there's no break down of cooperation

It feels like and local people from where I live feel like the whole campaign was so biased in favour of remain. All of the government leaflets and adverts were all for remain and it felt like it was all a cover up. I watched all the debates and I agreed with all of the leave arguments so I decided to join the leave side after being unsure for a while. But it wasn't actually fixed because somehow we are leaving. Its been such a weird day, people have been jumping round in excitement dancing in the street carrying uk and England flags around and then others have been crying. Its just soo weird. But I'm sure we will be fine in the end.

Dropping this here for fun. The conversation here is getting to serious.
