I wasn't much interested in politics at the time but I recall that there was a sky will fall in mentality here in Australia when the UK first joined the EU.  1973.

Oh, I think it is guaranteed, there will be ramifications for US, Cods!

Just think of the back tracking, WE will get from both Major Political Party's, on the Growth & Jobs front, Because of "problems with Markets & "lower Global Economic Growth", spurred on by the BREXIT VOTE!

And, there will be "some" legitimacy in that, But the underlying major reasons for Economic issues goes much more widespread & the Politicians (ALL OF THEM), should be well aware of what we face, which is -
1) Demographics - where the Global Population is Aging & where Growth is slowing, just prior to going into actual Decline.
2) Energy - Where Growth in Demand is Slowing, Growth in Supply is also slowing & Pricing is Down, in tune to both Demand & Supply.
3) Climate Change - which is changing & affecting Agriculture & Water Supply, in different ways,in different places.
4) Debt - which is off & racing higher Globally, following the Japanese trend, which started around 1990 & it is the "Canary in this Coal mine".

The sky did fall in, Aussie. We lost our biggest export market when Mother joined the EU.

Once the Nervous Nellies' knees stop knocking together, they will find it is very much business as usual. Too bad if they got out of British stocks or the Pound.

The problem with the EU is very much like the problem with the USA. They are too damn big. That is, unless you are a banker. In which case you will be playing both ends against the middle through Switzerland and the Caymen Islands.

It shows that 6-1 outsiders can win elections.

The EU will punish the UK for turning it's back on the union to show other nation what the consequences are for going it alone....The UK is now so divided and it has few friends in it's own region....This is another nail in the coffin of the British Empire!!!

The EU will need to take a hard look at itself and adjustments will have to be made with the Brits and the other current EU countries.

This may make for a better EU and Great Britain!

It remains to be seen if Britain has the sort of talented leadership and expertise that will see it succeed without being a provincial appendage of the EU.

"Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind in situations like this.

It's not good that nearly half the voters didn't want to see their ancestral homeland detach itself from the Socialist bureaucracy that runs the EU.

TRUMP'S STATEMENT ON EU REFERENDUM

"The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples.

They have declared their independence from the European Union, and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy.

A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense.

The whole world is more peaceful and stable when our two countries – and our two peoples – are united together, as they will be under a Trump Administration.

Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence.

Americans will have a chance to vote for trade, immigration and foreign policies that put our citizens first.

They will have the chance to reject today’s rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people.

I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again".

It may be a bit non-PC but the Barmy Army sing almost exactly that but with stars instead of cross.

It is interesting that some of the most unexpected Leave votes came from the strongest (UK) Labour seats. Obviously some element of employment protectionism there. Worth thinking about if anyone wants to voice support for the various visas that allow foreigners to work here, there could be substantial backlash.

Cameron is a Progressive twat...  he deserves this, it's probably the first time the British have truly had a say in the decisions there polity make since Blair was elected.

Immigration and Multiculti changes were accepted and thrust upon them but finally it looks like the Conservative British have had enough of it.  Finally...  Conservatives are hard to rouse.  Where as most Progressives are a rabble of protestation at the best of times.

Oh - the two posts below - what a brilliant response!

ADDS:-  (can't help myself) .. does anyone understand the real cost of RE-training a co-operative workforce after it has been trashed into absolute decline for thirty plus years?  Do you know the cost of replacing a single employee?  Well over four times the cost of retaining one..... so what we are looking at HERE AND NOW.... is a massive capital RE-investment in RE-structuring our countries (Britain, the US, and Australia etc).

The next phase on inter-economic systems competition is .... We Of the West will have to re-tool from scratch..... and who do you think will be carrying the burden for that?

All your fat capitalists? Naaaah....

Your 'government' that has stood you in such good stead for so long?  Naaah....

It will be the ordinary people of this (and other countries) country who will have to dig deep to re-structure the future for their children and grand-children.....

Does that make me some form of 'communist'?  Hardly - I don't subscribe to their way of handling an economy, and no more than Bob Menzies. .... I guess it makes me a man of the people.... with a zero intent of copping anything for being so.

Footnote:-  I stand to gain NOTHING from expressing my views... apart from the (already done) direct attack as a means of oppression by the 'established order' (name them as you will)...

Of course I know what I'm talking about. Capitalised "Progressive" is the name of a defunct political party in the UK. Uncapitalised "progressive" would be closer to what you intended. Try not capitalising "Progressive" when you do not intend it to be a proper noun, mmkay?

The way I see it, it can only be good for the UK, certainly in the medium to long term.

It has voted to take back its sovereignty from the corrupt and parasitic money-men behind
the EU's overtly ultra-neo-con agenda and who are profiteering from the economic rape of
countries such as Spain and Greece while unfairly advantaging other, richer countries.

It has given the UK government the ability to act upon the wishes of the voters rather than
those of the afore-mentioned money-men. An example : The majority of Britons want their
rail network re-nationalised. EU law specifically prevents the UK government from doing so.

It sends a clear message that EU-mandated austerity policies which are killing British poor
are no longer acceptable to UK voters. British austerity policy is EU-mandated.

It lets the UK negotiate trade independently of the EU which, if played carefully, could re-open
trade links between the UK and Australia which were severed by EU mandate when Britain first
joined the EU. This would give considerably more weight to the anti-TPP lobby, which wouldn't
be a bad thing.

And it is a resounding bitch-slap to the face of neo-conservatism, and could prove to be the first
serious crack in the neo-con edifice. Already, several more countries are also now reconsidering
their position.

Yes how dare they tell spain and greece to pay their own way and live within their means instead of expecting everyone else to fund the lazy bastard lifestyle they have grown accustom to.

Bastards!


It is the socialist ideal to have someone else pay while doing nothing for yourself, so I can see why the wogs are not happy with their situation.

I wonder how this will affect all the Polish and other Eastern Europeans currently working in the UK?

I suspect after the break the suggestion is Britian will decide who can come and work there based on the skills they need but what about the above ones.

Of course the reverse applies to Brits working in Europe!

Nothing remotely socialist about it.

The Pommy Left were actually in favour of remaining with the EU.

My comment was about the bulllsh1t statement of the economic rape of spain and greece; those two countries brought everything upon themselves based on their own freeloader attitude. Nothing to do with the rest of the EU.

Personally it was the EUs fault for letting them in, they should never been allowed in, based on their socialist attitude to taxes and living within their means.

I can assure you a German working and paying taxes is none too impress they he is paying for a greek to retire early demanding a bailout instead of paying their own way.

Its been so interesting to see the strange bedfellows this referendum has produced.

One aspect I found a bit unhealthy was the bleating of some of the young trendy voters complaining that old people got to vote, when they wont have to live with the consequences.

They should be reminded that it was the fault of the oldies that they no longer live in a unified Europe.

Without the oldies they would be living in a unified Europe,,, they may have also been wearing uniforms and saluting the Nazi flag however

Then they should leave too.

They can only be better-off for it.

It's good to see we have all the rtards on here backing the withdrawal from EU, at least we know we have them onboard for a republic now  :)

That statement is the country equivalent of telling a long term dole bludger to get a job, it seems like the right way to go, but we all know it is never going to happen.

Maybe you should back-track a bit and read my comments.

Leaving, if played correctly, IS a good thing, for all the reasons I've already stated.

And there are almost certainly more.

The UK Left did support staying in the EU, but for all the wrong reasons.

The Australian Left should not make the same mistake.

Which is nonsense of course - older people have experience and wisdom that the young lack. It is also presumptuous to assume that older people are only voting for themselves. Not everyone does. Ask anyone with grandkids.

Have I misread/ misheard but wasn't it the average old style labour voter that led the exit vote?

I don't know.

I saw a map that showed rural area moreso voted to leave, cities more voted to stay.

It's not out of the EU yet and it will take 2 years for the process to complete apparently...  and I don't think less than 4% is a large margin to win by.

Capitalised "Progressive" is the name of a defunct political party in the UK. Uncapitalised "progressive" would be closer to what you intended. Try not capitalising "Progressive" when you do not intend it to be a proper noun, mmkay? Capital letters: the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and your uncle jack off a horse.

nice list kat except for one thing...  you are looking at it through your a r s e and blaming the wrong ideology.

It is the conservative base that has brough about this change...  not the progs who'd love a world government, which the EU is by default.

I think it was a win for ordinary people over Yuppies.

Nothing to do with left/right

The Empire is crumbling as I suspected....The UK is now the divided dynasty that will fracture and fail without any support from the rest of Europe....If the Poms think the EU will reward them for abandoning the union they will be sadly mistaken....The EU will play hard ball and make it as difficult as possible as a warning to other nations who want to go it alone....Scotland are already talking about another referendum to leave the UK which has a very good chance of getting up....Australia should close it's borders to all British economic migrants who will be leaving the failed empire in droves when their economy flounders!!!

So you're OK with punitive measures being taken against democratically determined decisions regarding national sovereignty and identity?

From this, we can surmise that if/when Australia becomes a republic (a move that you have advocated) that you'll be quite happy for England to punish the hell out of us for doing so.

It's probably too early to know for sure, but the impression I got was the regional cities that were Labour heartland had a significantly weaker "Remain" vote than expected.

Just calling it the way I see it....Do you think the EU will make it easy for Britain to leave the union with the same benefits the union offered....Britain will now have to negotiate with the EU who will not reward them for going it alone....Or do you think the EU will help the UK be better off and prompt other nations to look at abandoning the Union as well....Self interest is a reality and is the very reason the UK decided to go alone....I say give the UK what they want and let them go it alone to see how they go???

I don't happen to agree with them.

No, I don't, but thats a flaw with the EU and it's backers, not the UK. 

Blaming Britain for the mean-spirited tantrums of globalists is like blaming a bullying victim for "making" the bully beat them up.
