Don't be afraid to say that, mate, I may be wrong, and I hope that I am. I have relatives that live there, 2nd gen, and some of them do international businesses. If the relations among what will remain from the UK and the EU will be tense, I'd thus be sad.

> [N. Irish] still see themselves as British first. Go over there, like I have and you'll see British Flags everywhere.

I can't be bothered, the UK is not worth the burden of its visa, sorry. Also, you don't want strangers there, do you? But the flag argument of yours mean nothing. There are many areas where there is a flag without a majority identifying themselves with it (turkish Kurdistan, Catalonia, and maybe also N. Ireland?).

> Also, have you see the situation in Spain lately? Gibraltar is staying put.

No, I haven't. But Spain did offer shared sovereignty over Gibraltar, that means something. It will at least be discussed in the near future.

> I do love hearing these fantasists hoping that the UK crumbles because it left the UK.

The UK left the UK, that's a typo, but also a nice coincidence: The UK may indeed have left a part of it, in the EU, we'll see how the things go.

> You do realise there are whispers within the STRONGER countries in the EU who are now thinking of having their own referendums?

> The EU better be be careful as otherwise it's just France, Germany and a whole lot of smaller poorer southern countries and Germany goes bankrupt trying to bail them out!

An examplar of how good the Leave-guys had their facts before voting. I stalked your account too, you're a brexiteer and you try your hand at making some redditesque comments here, and I'd rather not answer, but I do because you're diffonding misinformation.

> Lets see what happens when Greece finally explodes!

Greece has already exploded, what we have is the remains.

Cameron announced the referendum as policy choice in 2013 and at least after the May 2015 election it was clear it would happen. Therefore this was a long time coming. Has any other European country started with a referendum process in the meantime? Do you think just because the UK voted out, suddenly a stampede of referendums will begin, even though it would be much smarter to wait and see how things turn out in the UK? "Fantasists" hoping the other side will crumble exist in both camps... (Let's not forget that Cameron was campaigning for IN. In the future, the only government who would call a referendum must be campaigning for OUT - nobody else would take the risk after what happened in the UK)

If the UK leaves, Scotland is probably out.

The economy prospects are not looking good. Capital is flowing out of the UK, and plans for new investment's are being cancelled all over the place.

Why invest in country that might be behind a trade barrier at any point?

A country that is being consumed by a strong populist movement that is convinced that the EU is worse than the USSR?

Sorry, we have had 70 years of peace and prosperity, and I don't believe that that would be possible if the EU was the monster that the Brexit camp portrays.

The dislocations in the city have begun.[1]

Keep mind that there are 49%+ Britons aghast at what is happening. They didn't vote for this, and don't deserve this.

No still leads the polls in post-Brexit Scotland [1]. The economic arguments are not there since the collapse in the oil price.

and oil dropped in price on the Brexit vote giving some of my fellow North Dakotans a bit of a poor view on the vote as oil was finally back to the "good" range.
