Open your mind.

There will be HUGE opportunities for those who take a good hard look and understand what is happening

Typical RushMc elitism.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a "low information voter" and everyone you agree with is smart enough to see what's going on. Could you be any more arrogant?

He's not arrogant - that would need different premises.

I'd say, helpless und poorly informed.

Anyone would DARE disagree with you or jakee all of that huh?

As to his arrogance comment, well, he is projecting yet again.

They do know the issues IMO.
They do know the consequences IMO.

What, like the people who voted out because of the Union Flag*, even though by voting to leave they've pretty much guaranteed the eventual exit of Scotland from the UK and maybe even the reunification of Ireland, and therefore the disappearance of that very flag? Yeah, they were right on point weren't they?

And still the point stands that no-one knows what the consequences will be. No-one knows what our relationship with the EU will be. No-one knows to what degree, if at all, our borders will be tightened. No-one knows how much money we will keep paying to the EU for access to things like the free market. It's very much a possibility that practically nothing will functionally change in our relationship with the EU except that we give up our ability to vote in it.

Heck, it's even a legal possibility that the next Prime Minister won't even invoke Article 50. You can get back to me on that after you've googled what Article 50 is, oh wise and informed one.


* Yes, that is absolutely a reason that has been stated by quite a few people voting out.

They know they do NOT want what they have right??
Or they would have voted differently.

And the fine details may be yet to come but they want out of the EU. A big gov slum lord sucking money.

They know what they want now, therefor they know what the consequences are?

That is your evidence of being so sure that people no the consequences?

Exactly, no-one knows what the big picture is. Will we save any of the money we pay to the EU, or will we keep paying it through different channels? No-one knows. Will we be able to stop migrant workers from the EU freely and legally taking jobs in the UK? No-one knows. Will our companies be free from EU legislation in any or all areas relating to workplace conditions and manufacturing standards? No-one knows.

Typical of an arrogant elite like you to think that you have all the answers in the face of that uncertainty

Look
You are in the first of 4 stages regarding change.

how you deal with this step will determine if you can come back from this (for you) horrendous change.

BTW
BIG picture is Briton may not be a part of the EU.

So - someone votes to leave the EU. And to you, the fact that they don't know what the EU is, or who is in it, is a detail.

But people who support the ACA are ignorant because they didn't read every page of it.

Par for the RushMC course.

Actually this is typical billvon


Throw more shit in and see what sticks.

BTW
are you saying that the majority of those who vote to leave did not what the EU is or who is in it?

Really?

We have people here in the US who cant tell you who the President is. Is that the majority too in your mind or would they just be the outliers you would drag in to try and obfuscate a point?

Correct. And let's say those people vote in a presidential election. Would you call them low-information voters? Or would you claim that the names of the people they are voting for are just unimportant details?

See
That was not so hard now was it

So let's make this clear - you think the populace was fully informed about the consequences of the vote because they knew that if we voted out of the EU, we would leave the EU... and that's it? That's the sum total of the awareness of potential consequences that means, in your eyes, they were fully informed? Everything else is just minor details, is that right?

Typical of an elitist like you - you think you know what's best for other people so it doesn't matter if they know what's going on

[winsor 236]

I hate to address the consequences of Brexit, but this gives me pause.

If this is into what the EU was slated to morph, it may be good that the UK got out while the going was good.

Looking at the unsustainable debt that is the norm for maintaining our lifestyle, the questions regarding things going to hell are limited to when and how bad. Thus, if Brexit is what sets the spark off, doing otherwise may have only delayed the inevitable.

Given that we are set for implosion, leaving the EU may be both the worst and the best thing the UK could do - worst since it triggers the upheaval, and best since it will not necessarily go down with the EU as a result.

Sometimes pontoon mooring, with vessels lashed alongside, is the most stable arrangement. However, when conditions go to hell and one of the craft is taking on water, it can be best to cut free and go it alone.

You may still sink, but you are not doomed by another craft going under.

The relative merits of Brexit are as yet undetermined. I do suspect that it may well be the black swan that results in a lot of reorganization on a global scale.

Enjoy yourself - it's later than you think.

I KNOW that my portfolio has shed so much value since Thursday evening through to this morning, it equates to almost three decent homes within 30 minutes of Skydive AZ.

And I am NOT part of the damned 1%.

I'm sorry but if you lost THAT much value you either need someone to better manage your money or you are in the 1% (or very close). Houses at 200k x 2.5 ("almost three decent houses") =$500,000 loose. I don't believe the market overall is down 10%. So if you have a NW of $5,000,000.......

Maybe some diversification is in order? Now might be a good time to buy.....

Ahh the Express. Bastion of journalist integrity.

So in that article they're claiming the anti-federalist Poles are terrified by the plans of the French and Germans to unite the EU into one state.... and here is their article from a few days ago claiming that Brexit could have huge consequences for the next elections in anti-EU France and lukewarm Germany, while the strongly pro-EU Poles are terrified that more nations could follow the UK's lead and leave!

So in short, I wouldn't pay too much heed to that story until it's reported in a real newspaper
