Farage resigns then. Who is left from the leave camp? (The answer is no one is left they are all right wing as fk Scott) Drag us out then run for the hills. Who you going to go with? Michael Gove? Andrea Leadstrom? God help us. Slimey shouldered bastards the lot of them

[christhegasman]

Another one goes into hiding 😡 I am beginning to wonder who will lead us next I still think leaving the dictatorship was the right move but ffs it's becoming a soap opera Maybe given the total lack of leadership we need a rethink ?not that I agreed with Cameron's condescending attitude either and think his use of the rich who don't live in the uk to tell us what was best for us was his downfall but that's all water under the bridge and it's time for us all to stop bickering accept what is going on and deal with it

Evaluation can only be done in a few years when it's business as usual with all new trade agreements in place.

I believe UK got around 50% trade from within EU, and 50% outside EU.

I also read that the "inside EU" part was slowly shrinking.

The EU is the largest trading partner of the UK. It accounted for 44% of the UKs goods and services exports in 2015, though this figure has decreased compared to previous years. It also delivered 53% of the UKs imports. Exports of services to the EU are significant: in 2014, the UK exported services worth £84 billion to the EU (37% of all UK exports to the EU). UK imports of services were worth £63 billion (22% of all imports from the EU). It's okay though, Douglas Carswell (UKIP's only Westminster MP, unless UKIP have already sacked him ) said we'd probably be better off in 20 years time. Thanks, Douglas. You're a star.

You are free to trade with for example Russia and China now.

 

[techieboy]

Indeed we are.

Not many times that I do agree with you Scott but this time I definitely do. We are heading into a black hole without any prospect of a suitable leader. Even worse than the outlook for the nations football team😟

This assumes the EU still exists in a couple of years.  When are you joining us Smiley?

I would be happy to leave, but the Dutch economy is pretty small, and very intertwined with the German one.

So for us it would be financial suicide. I did have high hopes that when the UK would leave, the other states would also up the call for reforms, but other then Poland, it did not happen.

With the growth crazy feckers in Brussels, i think they will just add Ukraine and Turkey to have a large number again.

 

So we continue rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as far as i see it.

[alexb]

+1 (that's almost half of the population already ) And I wouldn't call the Dutch and German economies intertwined, it's more the Dutch economy depends on the German one. One issue is that the UK voting to leave is fuel for other countries with the same sentiment, but what is happening now in the UK, where the country seems to be completely divided without any leadership, is not setting a great example for the rest of us. I do think that the UK has some great opportunities outside of the EU, but it does take some good leadership to make use of them. And for some reason good leadership in current times seems to be a real precious asset.

 

So get your act together, your asses in gear and turn the whole mess into a success. More countries will follow. France will be the only one left in the EU and will vote that from then on, French will be the leading language for the whole of the EU.

This assumes the EU still exists in a couple of years.

It also assumes the UK exists in a couple of years, too.

It's fun watching Londoners squirm. it was worth the out vote just to see them being screwed over for once instead of them screwing the rest of the country

Glad to see most of you exit bunch have such a robust, indepth knowledge of economics.... ...Most Londoner's properties have gone up an average of 18.5% each year for the past 4 years & previous to that, over 8% for several years. That means they'll have Plenty of equity left in their property in the future, when yours is worth nothing! Ah, but don't worry, at least you have a good pension to fall back on? ....Don't worry, put your fingers back in your ears, it'll all be ok, as Farage will sort it out.

[Gedi]

Haha, someone took that a little too personally

 

As for your concern, we have 6 properties, 4 of those thankfully not in the UK or EU, so I'm all set for the future thanks.

Shame the economy isn't based on whippets, flat caps, meat pies and Tetleys and then it wouldn't matter if London got screwed over.

How is rediculous housing prices in London a good thing?

With every house flipping show (Thank you for Sarah Beeny by the way) confronting searchers to look 1 village further if your budget is not 750.000 pounds.

 

[Gedi]

The problem is that our economic model isn't just based on London, our model is London. It sucks the country dry and is unwilling to share its wealth.

Despite how the capital perceives us, not everyone is the north is poor and irrelevant. However the problem is that a large majority of people are very poor, and a lot of this is down to the city, its banks and the politicians that serve them. It's understandable that people fought back in the only way they could.

 

Btw, when I refer to Londoners I'm talking about the city, not people from greater London. No need for anyone to get personal, such things are reserved for the uneducated northerners

New poll has confirmed that in actual fact 70% of young people (18-25yrs) voted. And the vast majority voted remain. So the older generation did in fact fcuk it up for the younger generation. I hope all the older people who were desperate to criticise the young for supposedly not being arsed to get out of bed to vote take note of this and realise just how wrong they were, and how foolish they look now.
