But they save the 350 million Pounds a week they pay to the EU. They can just invest that money into their economy. Most importantly the people made a huge step in taking their countries back from the corporations and the 1%. It really is that simple. You either support the move towards one world government, run by corporations or you support nations run by the will of the people.
BTW, it's a good thing that Lincoln isn't running the EU. He would fight a war to keep Britain from leaving.
Dead wrong.
The EU is not a country. When Britain went in on January 1, 1973 it was the European Common Market. Later on it arrogated unto itself super-state status. Not many countries' people got to vote on it.
The Danes did and were not impressed.

We agree and I am repping this post. Keep in mind that the U.S. Constitution has detailed procedure for admission and/or division of states. And none for secession. This is strong evidence that there was no legal way to seceded from the Union.
So where are the statistics that back up your statement that a significant portion of London citizens that are voting are from other countries in the Commonwealth
By the way Scotland voted 2-1 to remain.
You seem to be confused. British citizens, Irish citizens and Commonwealth citizens all voted in London. White British make 45% of the population in London. So when exactly are you going to back your statement that all are British citizens?
The EU is nothing more than elaborate scheme to share the wealth of the Countries in it. It seems to me its nothing more than a large "Welfare" system, that some folks would like to see spread Worldwide. It seems almost like a starting point for a "New World Order" right out of fiction novels, with NATO as its Global Police Force. Liberals love the idea, and are convinced that its good for America to lose its identity, same as they strive for in Europe. The Britts seem to have wised up, and put a stop to it. You gotta love these clowns that keep saying they regret it today, as if they where there and interviewed all the voters last night, when they really know squat.
One of the reasons that Obama was against Brexit is it stopped cold his New World Order plans. People of his ilk planned to enlarge the EU and encourage similar Yen and other zones, then force them to join. Willy nilly the U.S. would have no choice but to join the party.
If the EU disolves does this mean Russia will expand, grow asorb nations exiting the EU, and become a Super Power again like the Soviet Era? A strong Russia and strong China is a scary global scenario.
There is no reason for them to be. If we were smart (we aren't) they both could be huge markets to expand into.

I was watching the BBC coverage until very late last night (actually early this morning) and they were saying the numbers were just made up to scare people to vote Remain. They have no idea what the real effect this is going to have on the economy.
However, the FACT is that Great Britain was independent of the European Union for almost its entire history and it did very well for itself, including being the first major country to enter the industrial revolution. That and a little something like creating the largest empire in world history and spreading its language, common law and democracy to different parts of the world.
I am not worried about the British, I think they are going to do very well being Independent.
Umm, no.....immigration was a really big part of the vote to leave the EU.
It was definitely one of the two major components. Case in point: Rotherham, where the local Muslim rape culture was covered up by authorities for years, voted "Leave" by a two-to-one margin. It was a total blowout there, and I don't blame them either, because E.U. membership clearly didn't benefit them.
Be that as it may, the lack of accountability by bureaucrats in Brussels was the other major component.
