This really isn't a big deal. When has rampant nationalism and economic depression ever led to problems in Europe?

This is going to be more dire for England than the EU. EU is a Germany-French axis. If that holds, then the rest should hold together for the most part although the Greeks could be getting the boot in a few years if Britain can disentangle itself without too may problems.
Britain is in trouble. How do you tell the Scots to stay part of a larger union (the UK) when you ditched a larger union for the same reasons the SNP keeps bringing up? Most likely they ditch the UK especially if Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister, and then they turn around and join the EU.
European stock markets were all down today except for the Swedes and Finns. The Brits did okay, down only 2.4%. The DOW is down around 500 points now. Buying opportunity, folks.
even though i voted to leave, this morning i woke up and i just — the reality did actually hit me, one woman told the news channel itv news. If i'd had the opportunity to vote again, it would be to stay.
Never underestimate ignorance.
Several years ago a complete nut job defeated the endorsed Republican candidate for MN Attorney General in the primary election. How? Her name is Sharon Anderson. Not only is her name Scandinavian sounding (which can be a big plus here) but a woman who hosted a then popular local television talk show had the same name. In other words, a large chunk of the population actually thought they were voting for another completely unqualified candidate named Sharon Anderson.![]()
Were those "Leave" voters looking at what they just did, or, were those "Stay" voters who never fathomed they could lose and were looking for possible ramifications? There is no way to know. The Post assumes it's the former.
Cynical on my part, but that story is curiously predictable. The Post was "Stay". When their desired outcome doesn't manifest the voters are obviously low-information rubes.![]()
