The process of leaving the EU will take years

A Brexit vote is not legally binding, and there are a few ways it could theoretically be blocked or overturned. However, as the BBC notes, "it would be seen as political suicide to go against the will of the people as expressed in a referendum."
Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union establishes the procedures for a member state to withdraw from the EU. It requires the member state to notify the EU of its withdrawal and obliges the EU to then try to negotiate a withdrawal agreement with that state.
A Brexit vote, however, does not represent that formal notification. That notification could take place within days — for example, when EU member countries meet for a summit that is scheduled for June 28 to 29. Or British officials might wait a few months to pull the trigger.
Once Britain invokes Article 50, it will have a two-year window in which to negotiate a new treaty to replace the terms of EU membership. Britain and EU leaders would have to hash out issues like trade tariffs, migration, and the regulation of everything from cars to agriculture.
In the best-case scenario, Britain may be able to negotiate access to the European market that isn’t that different from what it has now. Norway is not a member of the EU, but it has agreed to abide by a number of EU rules in exchange for favorable access to the European Common Market.

Well,in the short term apparently, the pound’s value dropping so much means that the UK is no longer the 5th largest economy in the world – in a nicely symbolic move, they’ve been overtaken by France.
Unfortunately an awful lot of people were voting leave because of Xenophobia and Islamaphobia and ‘Them brown people taking our jobs and bombing us’. Or as someone put it ‘we just let them in and they go around raping who they want’. Which is just so beyond uninformed it’s unreal.There have also been a lot of people using this opportunity to vote as a ‘Bleep You’ to the conservative party and the ruling elite. Whilst actually having no or very little information on what the benefits/disadvantages of leaving the EU would be. I’m not sure that a lot of these people realise that whether we stay or go they will be getting shafted regardless.

Lols at shafted....

Re: Effects Of Britain Leaving The EU by Adunbi70(m): 5:07pm On Jun 24, 2016
A Europe without Britain would be an hollow hemisphere. I had suspected that the Brexit wolf cry would sound when London kept to the Pound rather than the Brussels' Euro this past decades.

What now would happen to a NATO without the overbearing influence of Westminster? How would a politically and economically divisive NATO quench the forays and expansive ambitions of Vladimir Putin on the eastern flank? If a united EU couldn't rescue Crimea and protect Kiev, how would they put to check terror prone Islamic fundamentalists that are hoarding in from Syria through the gateways of Turkey?

I think the British Brexit voters are just being paranoid. They want to keep their jobs and shoo away unwanted immigrants; and then live in peace. That was the same thought Neville Chamberlain had whilst he negotiated with Adolf Hitler in 1939. But did that stop the blitzkrieg on London?

Britain has been the preferred leader for Europe since the Spanish Armada. She attained her best glories at the defeat of Germany, coupled with her consistent economic rise since the '50s. But the world is still as fragile as it was pre Cold War. So, if the British thoughts and ambitions are only parochial and at best provincial in the midst of rumbling dangers from Islamic State and a newly winged Russo - China alliance, then the balance of powers of this millennium would be tilted, and generations to come would blame the Brexit voters, if the nuclear war heads are ever launched from the conquered mountains of Syria and Iraq by Islamic Sate and/or by their allies from annexed Crimea.

I may be wrong but I'm guessing the Paris and Brussels attacks had a lot of impact on the people's decision.
True, but the main tussle is Turkey attempting to be a part of the EU.

No be by force to go dubai. that island is so small but over populated.

What tipped the scale is the mass migration of syrians into germany and france. they will ultimately find there way to UK.

What is suprising is why the syrians didnt go to saudi or dubai which is there brothers land

No mind those useless people. They hate Christians and will not hesitate to bomb Christian countries but they don't go to their fellow Arabs angry . Dem come dey spoil things for boys.

pounds have already started plummenting on a 32 year record low.


Britain attracted investors due to eu policies,with this referendum,investors are likely going elsewhere...samsung,LG are planing to move their europe headquaters away from britain:google,apple and microsoft are already planing to do so......huge tax paid by compaanies will also worsen the situation.



Premiership will find it harder to buy players from other european league,due to hostility and high exchange rate....other leagues will find it cheaper to buy from epl due to favourable xchange rate.......xpect unfavourable ucl draws for epl teams.


Since scotland and northern ireland want to join european union,expect disintegration of united kingdom into smaller countries.

There might likely be another referendum to reverse this ugly one

While studying I was working part time to get extra cash. I worked as a warehouse operative for Asda, 99% of their staffs were eastern Europeans and full blown racist. Always gave the Africans the hardest job.

In nigeria, the lesson is that, no one can be forced to remain in a relationship that is not symbiotic in nature. Can nigeria be so civilised to conduct a referendum on its unity? I doubt. Nigeria's union is not working, yet when solution of restructuring is profered, fear grips some. If that fear is not confronted today, time will tell.

theoneJabulani:
Brexit will cause problems for Britain's economy:

In the short run, uncertainty about Britain’s future relationship with the EU, its largest trading partner, could push the UK into a recession. Market watchers predict an "explosion of volatility" on Friday morning as the markets process the implications of Britain’s exit. Many economists expect both the British stock market and the pound to open lower on Friday morning. Britain’s chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, even hinted that he could suspend stock market trading if Britons voted to exit the EU.
In the long run, the situation could be worse. If Cameron’s government falls, Britain’s prospects of negotiating a favorable deal with the EU could be weakened. The EU may decide to strike a hard bargain to discourage other countries from leaving the EU. Or the UK’s new leader might not be willing to accept the kind of restrictions that come with a Norway-style deal.
And that could create serious problems for businesses based in the UK.
"If you are Nissan or some other car producer with major production in the UK, today, the same safety standards and environmental standards allow you to sell everywhere in the European market," Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told me. But if the UK leaves the EU, "you would no longer be able to sell into other European markets, not because you face a small tariff but because you'd have to go through another set of safety certifications. This kind of thing would be repeated in every industry you can think of."
Critics say the economic effects could be large. The UK government has estimated that exiting the EU could cause the British economy to be between 3.8 and 7.5 percent smaller by 2030 — depending on how well negotiations for access to the European market ultimately go. Other reports have found smaller but still significant impacts.

Now knowing fully well the economic consequences of an exit, the Brits still prefer to leave...well it goes on to suggest that the perceived non-economic benefits of leaving clearly outweigh the perceived economic costs of leaving...This says something of the changing social welfare function of the Brits and how non-economic rewards weigh marginally higher than economic rewards!

Dem don chop belle full!!!

[size=14pt]Truly, 'Crowns and Thrones perish; Kingdoms rise and wane'. This vote is already triggering a call for another Scottish referendum as well as a referendum for a United Ireland. If Northern Ireland and Scotland leave, can we still describe this Kingdom as "United"? And, will Britain still be Great? Not sure how we got here today - an attempt to close the borders of Britain? A country which itself explored and exploited a borderless world (the Commonwealth) only some two centuries ago? What goes around truly comes around.[/size]
