And Cameron resigns. This is going to be interesting. What does everyone think?

My opinion is that the majority of Brits are tired of the liberal policies of the EU.

I guess they are tired of their pound price to. The price went from 1.50 to 1.35.

So a new government can decide NOT to leave the union?

It wasn't a binding vote I believe. If the powers that be don't want to leave, they'll go kicking and screaming delaying the whole process. They'll ask for a re-vote with a few added "sweeteners" for the public.

Cameron was against leaving and he resigned upon hearing the news. From what I understand it is a binding vote and the government is beginning the withdrawal process, which could take up to three years, this morning.

Closer to home Dow futures are down over 500 points. Much worse overseas.

Even if they must endure a time of hardship, they will have their freedom from Europe. The refugee problem was the straw that broke their backs and they wanted to be done with it. It will have an impact on us also, but better their freedom than to have to continue to be lorded over by an inferior group of needy countries of Europe. They'll be OK in the long run and still have control of their own country. Their economy will take a big hit, especially when big business moves out.

It is NOT a binding vote.

is brexit binding? at DuckDuckGo

And the interesting aspect of this vote was the odds makers had the "remain" winning. Another reason not to count Trump out just because of our bookies.

Ho Hum!

Next?

The South tried this once...

I believe this is a bit different. But, if you must our colonies did it once and we did seem to be doing pretty well until about seven and half years ago.

So you would definitely trade places with them.

Yes we did very well under George, great thinking from a tea bag trumpster.

What makes you say that? In case you do not remember American History, we DID break away from Britain once upon a time. And we are doing very well as a result.

England will do fine. We will too, IF we reject socialism.

Interesting that you think we are doing better with Obambie. There is no factual basis for that. And I hate to burst your bubble, but I have never been a member of the Tea Party or to their meetings. Not that I disagree with their ideals. But, what would you know about them? All you have as a basis for your derision is liberal talking points. Your ignorance of the Tea Party is quite evident.
