such as negotiating entry to NAFTA

I didn't even consider this at all as a possibility. That is an interesting option but how much resistance would there be for that in the UK?

The real winner, however, is US of A. The Americans wouldn't like to see their British colony engulfed in an EU. With UK are tied Canada, Australia, NZ and other Caribbean nations.

Regarding the NHS, I must admit, as an American, I would like nothing better than to see that vestige of socialism destroyed as a warning to the fools who imposed Obamacare on us. I have never understood the British religion of NHS-worship, and I never will. So I see the collapse of NHS due to Brexit as a benefit, not a deterrent.

Why are you against the Obamacare ?
Even the most conservative parts of France support the national health service and we have difficulties understanding why a lot of people in the US see that an obligatory health insurance scheme for all could be a bad thing ?
Feel free to enlighten me !

Anyway, the situation of the NHS was very critical under the EU,I guess it would become even worse now.

You are talking about a decade ong time frame of negociatios.I wish them good luck with that.

The funny thing is that the younger genneration voted REMAIN only to be snubbed by people who are future corpses in the short term.I guess they thought to dragg the entire country with them.

'Much has been said about the age divide, with the over-60s favouring Leave and younger voters choosing to Remain.

But a little-reported fact is that the very oldest segment of the population - those who remember the reality of fighting a war - are amongst the most likely to support Britain remaining in the EU.
They know that we are stronger by working together with our friends and allies. '

75% of Remainers are under 35.It's the other way around for leave.The corpses destroyed the young generation's future.

the french will rename their army to EU army.. it will be business as usual for NATO...

Theoretically it doesn't but I do think that the trust in Britain is gone in Europe.They acted like a retard who suddenly jumped and grabbed the wheel of the car and now we're struggling not to crash into a tree.

Nothing...the NATO is older than the EU.

hey, care to explain ?

from the outside, I was a supporter of BREXIT. because being in-charge of your immigration/refugee policy and controlling your borders is very important, allowing millions of low skilled people who would not only very likely get on state welfare and strain housing, medical and other services that real citizens are entitled to, but would also drive down blue collar wages across the board, seems like a suicide plan.

Didnt expect this result, still dont think there is any reason to be hysterical though, Brits are smart, they didnt join Eurozone from the begin with now one sees why, they want to stay independent.

Merkel was really disappointed though, you could hear it from her speech.
So, @mike2000 is back is UK gonna become 51st state of US or are you guys planning to revive the empire?

 

[cleverrider]

Can't take what anymore?
Our economy is going to have a revised outlook, revised meaning lower and more bleak. Market instability is just the first stage. Scotland can, and in fact should now vote for their independence from the UK.
This will cause further disintegration in Europe too, it will inspire the nationalist right elsewhere in the EU.

Too early to call this, people/polls/bookies also called remained by a good margin. We do not even know for sure if there is going to be another referendum. After a year or 2 we will have a picture, Plenty of options on the way before all the above.

they freed themselves from the mess, the refugee burden is on all of you lot now

also past its expiry date, expect some changes there if Trump gets elected, which I think he probably will.

Except that they don't have the numbers to support this as statistics clearly point that EU migrants give more than they take to the British economy.They lost more today than 5 years of EU contributions and they will loose more.
