To be honest they are struggling now with social unrest in Greece and very high youth unemployment there as well as in the others.. I somehow don't think that the UK will be the last to vote to leave if others are offered the referendum option. It's very interesting how the EU mandarins are already making their threats very public as if to frighten other member states to toe the line. They don't seem to have realised that threats from the unelected galvanise anti-EU feelings.
Yes, our future is much clearer now.
Our future has never been nor will ever be clear unless your crystal balls are working overtime..
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Who is Mr. big Mouth Farage? I have never heard of him until now.
He is a racist and fascist.Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Who is Mr. big Mouth Farage? I have never heard of him until now. Who is he to criticize the Canadian PM Trudeau for speaking up for what he thought was the right thing to do. If Mr Big Mouth is so smart, why don't he volunteer to be Britain's next Prime Minister? Let us see if the people wants him to be their leader?

If anyone says 'I voted for my son/daughter/grandkids' then they are kidding themselves. The either voted for themselves, or they voted to control the next generation. I like the former, and the latter option makes me cringe.
The more Nigel Farage opens his mouth, the more he sounds like Trump. LOL as if one Trump is not enough, now we have a British Trump.

But, in law, they can't force us out any faster, without a unanimous vote, which they won't get as there are too many other countries watching to see how it goes before making their own decision.Its all been a bit like the war mongers taking us into the gulf war, looks good on paper but they have no Brexit strategy to follow on as to what we do now, saying keep calm is fine for those whose jobs don't rely on EU funding or EU companies, but for those whose jobs do they are now in a kind of limbo I wouldn't wish on anyone.
The EU countries aren't going to give us 2 years to negotiate anything they want us out now..................
They can't do it with a unanimous vote either. This is enshrined in a treaty which would require changing. From triggering article 50, there are 2 years to agree an exit. That's solely the terms of the divorce.But, in law, they can't force us out any faster, without a unanimous vote, which they won't get as there are too many other countries watching to see how it goes before making their own decision.
I agree with what you say; particularly in your second paragraph. I happen to think that the electorate have made the wrong choice, and that we are already seeing the impact of this, but it's going to take a long time to determine just how disastrous a decision it turns out to be.I have seen many posts on the leave decision, and the argument will rage for many months to come. However I have spoken to friends that were convinced that to leave was the right choice, but as more and more information comes to light that was withheld from the public at the time, many are beginning to wonder if they made the right choice.
In my honest opinion people voted for the wrong reasons, some because they don't like the PM, some because they hate the tory government, the list goes on, sadly many didn't vote on the core reason for the vote. Was the leave vote the right vote, I have no idea, 10 years from now we will truly know if it was right.
