Brexit thread - what happens next

[[TW]Fox]

Have you ever seen the currency rates over a 10 year scale? Check XE. This is small potatoes compared to what happened with Lehman Brothers, it's not the end of the world, ok..

It's lower than it was in 2009.

I understand that, I'm wondering if he can name anything specific.

He may be happy with all EU laws but not the manner in which they become law. So there may not be a specific law. I could be wrong, though, obvs.

I imagine the economics advice from someone who was in an advisory role when a business went under, would be rather good in some cases. Learning from past experiences and all...

 

[Caged]

Ah yes, John Llewellyn, economics adviser at Lehman Brothers before it collapsed.

Do people not realise the real collapse of the world economy was in 2008, it isn't because of what is happening now.

I'd rather a global collapse than a self-inflicted one that hits our closest trading partner and gives world economies plenty of reasons to go nowhere near us.

 

[wildman]

Article 50 won't happen. Is there anywhere I can bet on this? I'm willing to put a lot down.

I reckon betfair would take that bet if you are prepared to sink a lot of cash on it

 

[.Trooper.]

Cameron basically said we're leaving the EU, and they're choosing our new PM.

He also said flat out 'We will not be activating article 50 at this time' and that it wouldn't be activated until the UK know what relationship they want with the EU.

Don't be silly. This is not the end of the world not being in the EU, hence, Iceland withdrawing it's EU application last year.

Until they do, I will keep my democratic right to protest this stupid referendum and have the vote cast aside as it is ONLY ADVISORY!

NOT LEGALLY BINDING!

So you are essentially saying it's your democratic right to derail a decision made by a majority as part of a democratic process because you don't like it?

So you are essentially saying it's your democratic right to protest in order to overturn a decision made by a majority as part of a democratic process because you don't like it.

Of course it is, are you saying it isn't?

Of course it is (democratic right to protest about it).

What kind of a question is that?

Lets not pretend for a second that breitbart is a credible, unbiased, news source.

That would pretty much meet the definition of democracy, yes.

Probably because it is.

If Parliament pass a bill then people have a right to protest that decision, even though it was reached at through the democratic process. There isn't some sort of guillotine on democratic expression once a decision is made.

 

[badbiddy]

I wouldn't say it's a democratic right. You have the right of course, although it's a little ironic that you call it democratic.

 

[w1lliam]

Because it was the current government who gave the country a referendum & it should be current the government who should've planned for both outcomes. The tories are still in power regardless of the result & it should be them who should've formulated a plan.

Scotland prepared a 600 plus paged document detailing a plan for exit with the UK. The conservatives did not make that plan for them.

Again, grow pair, admit you were wrong and maybe we can go forward.

Have you ever seen the currency rates over a 10 year scale? Check XE. This is small potatoes compared to what happened with Lehman Brothers, it's not the end of the world, ok..

No it isn't. Its worse than the crash 08/09 and we haven't even left yet.

We have blown our faces off for a pimple of an issue!

Absolutely it is!

Yea, i realise that, but lets not pretend every news source doesn't have an agenda too. Switzerland still withdrew it's application, Iceland withdrew it's application. If the EU is so incredible, they wouldn't have done that.

I didn't say it was

This isn't about whether we are in the EU or not, this is about the damage we inflict on ourselves by withdrawing. In a global downturn there is a sense of everybody being in it together due to circumstances, this is an avoidable incident and feelings of good-will to the UK are not exactly going to be high.
