BREXIT [Poll] vote!

[DjoeN]

In the end, not much will change
Ppl adopt, so we will learn to live with the UK like we do with Switserland and Norway

Maybe more countries will follow
Time will tell how good/bad it was/is and what's gonna happen

Maybe it's the start of the EU falling appart like USSR once did :/ or not!

Anyway, we need rules to trade between countries, in or out the EU, new rules will be needed with the UK!
Ow wait, maybe it's the start of someting new: "Trade Federation"
Then we only need a new Sith Lord! and Emperor!

XD The people on another forum I am on are literally circlejerking talking about how this will ruin the economy and we should be ashamed of ourselves for supporting Brexit.

The person wanted Britain to not leave because he was receiving benefits from the EU. XDDDDD. Wow nice

 

[TotalInsanity4]

I believe one of the motivations for leaving was that the EU's policy was sending more refugees to the UK than many people wanted. This is pretty often used to throw accusations of racism at people so I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's whats happening

Ah, I guess that's understandable

Why exactly would leaving the EU help that situation, though?...

He gave plenty of reasons

• Over-regulation is an exaggeration | This does not explain that leaving is a bad idea.
  
• It's more expensive to leave than to stay | I did not see any real evidence provided to support this claim
  
• Pound will destabilize because it isn't tied to the euro anymore | Why will the pound suffer without being tied to the Euro, aside from the obvious short-term uncertainty of leaving the EU?
  
• There's literally no backup plan | What's that even mean? If they leave, then they don't have a plan to have not left?
  
• There's not even a good reason for leaving, aside from wanting to secure the borders, and they won't even be able to do that without leaving the EU trade agreement (which would be committing financial and economic suicide) | Again, does not explain how this is a bad thing, it's just a counter argument to a supposed pro-exit argument (I say supposed because I haven't read/watched/listened to the other side's actual argument)

I went into the video knowing little about the repurcussions of England leaving the EU, and I left knowing little about the repurcussions. There were a couple assertions of doom-and-gloom, and a lot of attacks on certain outspoken supporters of exiting, but not really much covering the facts.

The end of the day, the UK has already gone to shit for a long time, so it makes no difference being "in"or "out". People will be butt hurt either side, yet I'm just glad I got my USD at a good rate before it dropped like it has now.

The part that stood out is when one of his points where "da are wasict and that's why we should vote remain". Like wtf? Two people said racial remarks. That's not a point

I'd assume it would now allow Britain to put up tighter birder security, and they no longer have to adhere to policies put in place by the EU that allowed people to come in from other EU counties without the need of a passport.

One can only hope.

It's called the European Economic Area.

Thing is, it wouldn't

It will allow the UK parliament to decide for themselves how many people they want to take in, regardless of EU regulations, as well as set up border control and security on their own terms, not to mention the 'free movement of EU citizens'.

There are more arguments for Brexit than those to do with immigration. Though, as an Australian, I understand why it would be #1 for many people.

It wouldn't, since to keep trading with the EU we'd have to comply with virtually all the same rules we do currently anyway. The entire thing was a power play by Cameron who was sure the vote would just go Remain, played up by scaremongers.

Watch this, it helped me a little bit (ignore the... odd source, I know you wouldn't expect political advice from a gamer channel)

So tell me, then, why was the in/out referendum a good idea?

To be completely honest I didn't even know until now that it could even be perceived as xenophobic to want to leave, but meh. Also, you might want to get your obsession with hating the left political wing checked, it's getting kind of unhealthy

Lol, you really have a problem with me being passionate about something, hey? You know what happens when someone is passionate? Music gets produced, art is created and man steps foot on an extraterrestrial body (the moon)

Why are you always the first to quote me when i speak about political stuff? Perhaps it is, in fact, that your habits are the unhealthy ones?

All I am doing is exercising this little thing called free speech, Your "country" says you are from the US, so perhaps you are familiar with it? It's one of the most fundamental things for democracy

Of course, i respect your right to voice your opposing opinions to my own, but damn man, the obsession with me is getting out of control

And regarding the xenophobia labelling of pro br-exit persons, go and check out your typical left-wing media outlets, they already slinging those labels around. Vox, in particular.

>implying the left doesn't attack anyone and everyone who disagrees with their ideology as being 'the evil racist right wing'

 

[Youkai]

Still I doubt they will actually leave ^^V
The difference between "stay and leave" is not that big and as far as I know this was only to show that they want to leave (recommend to do so) but in the end the government has the last word here.

Didn't find that very informative, either. I think the only fact I gleaned from it was Nigel doesn't know what's going to happen.

Admit that your Fourth Reich is coming to an end :^)


And Britain, never forget who your true allies are...

What are you passionate about?...

90% of the time it's because I'm already watching the thread and you comment on it later on down the line. 10% of the time it's because I stumble into the thread from the front page while you're saying something. Don't give yourself that much credit hon :^)

I never challenged that

Of course, i respect your right to voice your opposing opinions to my own, but damn man, the obsession with me is getting out of control

By the way, you really slickly dodged the question I initially asked, regarding why the in/out referendum was a good idea in your eyes. Don't argue just for the sake of arguing, especially if it isn't productive

And regarding the xenophobia labelling of pro br-exit persons, go and check out your typical left-wing media outlets, they already slinging those labels around. Vox, in particular.

I've been perusing Flipboard the last few weeks (and I have a relatively balanced set of sources, I should add. I could probably tune it better for international news, though), and I've heard various reasons why leaving would be a bad idea, but this is legit the first I've heard of it being an issue of race. I guess thank you for giving me that piece of info? I legitimately didn't know it before now

Nothing has changed the same evil elite rule us.

Eh, that's fair. I guess if I were a UK citizen I would just be really concerned about diving headfirst into a decision with no roadmap ahead of you

Not sure if this was a Joke or not but I think people who still think that Germany tries to conquer the world need to go see a doctor -.-V
I feel really offended by jokes like this as not even my grandparents actually fought at the last war and noone of us has anything to do with it.


And the EU is nothing governed by Germany even though I have to admit in German news they make it sound like Merkel has a saying in a lot of matters oO

I somehow I don't get why you have an Australian Flag and speak like you are the number one British guy who ...
