Hapertje Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Shocking.... a majority of the young people (18-25) voted to stay in the EU (75%), the mature people (25-49) 56%. The elderly voted to leave the EU: 50-65 56% to leave EU, 65+ 67% to leave! Does this mean that the stubborn old country-people just ruined the future for their kids?

Michael. Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Sorry to say, but I hope Great Britain will fail so hard on their own.... why the hell do they think they are better than the rest? Ugh!

XXL Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 http://www.business-standard.com/article/international/vladimir-putin-questions-david-cameron-s-decision-to-hold-brexit-referendum-116061800650_1.html Vladimir Putin questions David Cameron's decision to hold Brexit referendum Russian President Vladimir Putin said he does not understand why British Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to hold a referendum on whether Britain should leave or remain in the European Union (EU). In an interview in St. Petersburg on Friday, Putin questioned Cameron's purpose in calling the 'Brexit' vote, due to be held on June 23, Efe news reported. "Why did he put this voting process into motion? Why did he do it? To blackmail Europe again? To frighten somebody? What purpose did he have if he was against leaving the EU?" Putin asked rhetorically. He said Brexit "is not our affair" and expressed his wish that British voters will be "well-informed and understand the consequences" of a possible EU exit as they cast their vote. Putin said while some people tended to blame Russia for everything, his country bore no responsibility for Britain's decision to hold the referendum. He also noted that Russia had made significant progress in modernising its nuclear arsenal. "I can assure you that we have achieved important advances." He said it would only be possible for Russia to "preserve the strategic balance in the world" by modernising and developing its nuclear weapons. As to whether Russia favours Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to triumph in the US presidential contest, Putin said Moscow would work with whoever won the November election. "Regardless of the election rhetoric, we will judge by the deeds, not words, of the new US president, and will seek ways to normalise ties and advance our cooperation in economy and international security," he said.

Guest Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 When did I say u said it I made a post about people mistakenly talking about "the UK and Europe" and pointed it out and you corrected me on it. The UK is in Europe, it's not on the moon. It's like when they announce tour dates: UK and European dates ... It means nothing. They should announce the European leg/dates. Anyway, yes I am European .... ok ... end of this discussion within the discussion The discussion should be the UK vs the EU Not the UK vs Europe Nonsense I don't think it should be versus at all. Reveals a lot about your mindset on the situation though. I'd prefer to think that the UK and the EU can exist harmoniously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moka Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 What a sad day! I know that the EU is not perfect and should be changed, but leaving is an extreme decision. The EU was created after WWII for peace and unity, and now, well... I've always felt close to the UK (same for Germany, Spain, Italy...) because of this great union and its ideal and common history, and now it's all over.

billiejean Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 David has put his resignation in but he's not going for three months yet. That E.U. LEAVE QUICK OR it will be deemed uncertain seems like a bit of a way around this... I wouldn't be surprised if they took this and said we took too long to decide on things so this referendum is null and void. Can they do something like that?

France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen said the French must now also have the right to choose. Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders said the Netherlands deserved a "Nexit" vote while Italy's Northern League said: "Now it's our turn". The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the EU after 43 years. David Cameron has announced he will step down as PM. Global stock markets fell heavily on the news and the value of the pound has also fallen dramatically. The European parliament has called a special session for next Tuesday. Analysts say EU politicians will fear a domino effect from Brexit that could threaten the whole organisation. Ms Le Pen hailed the UK vote, placing a union jack flag on her Twitter page and tweeting: "Victory for freedom. As I've been saying for years, we must now have the same referendum in France and other EU countries." She is the front-runner among candidates for the presidential election in 2017 but opinion polls suggest she would lose a run-off vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiejean Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The press already bringing up the possibility of a 2nd referendum or nah? Nigel Farage previously said he would want a second referendum if Remain won by a narrow margin.This morning we woke to the news that the UK had voted to leave the European Union . And it wasn't exactly a landslide. The Leave campaign emerged victorious after 51.89% of voters chose to get out of the EU - compared with 48.11% who wanted to remain. But one of the figureheads of 'Brexiteers', Ukip leader Nigel Farage, previously told the Mirror that he would want a second referendum if the result was so close. He even called it 'unfinished business'. Farage told the Mirror: “In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it.” So now the result has been announced and it's even closer than his prediction, will he still be calling for a second referendum? Well, given that he's been celebrating the victory on television this morning, our guess is no. In fact, he went the other way and called for June 23 to become "our independence day". http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-previously-said-would-8273721 Could the public demand such a thing if it got enough signatures on a petition? Or is a democratic vote a democratic vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the immigrants out (while the banking system that is allowed by our elected politicians to rip Europeans and Americans taxpayers off is also financing wars and bloodboaths that displace those same immigrants to begin with).

Erm, Australia with a population of 24 million and takes around 200,000 migrants pa. We have the growth rate of a third world country. It is insane. Take a look at Japan if you want to see a strict migration system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
