17 million less educated in more rural areas. This was not the choice of cities like London and this will ultimately weaken Britain a great deal. I think the Leave contingent are feeling like the dog that caught the car right now. Cameron will probably resign today or in the coming days.

Well done jingoistic patriots, well done.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. And I feel bad for cities like London that have to live the result of votes made by rural areas. It was a Leave supporter that killed that British woman politician.
Markets will overreact.....and then correct. No surprise. Good time to buy. This will not do much of anything to the U.S. economy mid-term or long-term BTW.
If Eastern Washington wanted to join Idaho, I'm sure that could be arranged.

Having visited much of the state, generally, I agree with you.

Texas loves to talk about seceding, they can watch what happens when a country thinks they are more important than they are.
I like many things about Texas (I'm an SF Bay Area native), but I view the talk in Texas about seceding as more of a way for some to vent anger rather than something that would ever garner enough support for serious consideration. No person I've ever spoken with who is even reasonably sophisticated thinks secession should ever be an option for Texas. That doesn't stop some politicians from blathering on about it but, IMO, they are only doing routine posturing for certain demographic groups.
Just saw economist Stephen Moore. He says that with the UK leaving the EU the remaining EU countries will have less money to fund their socialist policies. So will we be seeing a change in the amount of socialism that's practiced in Europe because of the UK exit?
Was BO trying to influence the outcome of British Independence from an unelected, authoritarian, globalist-elite, offsite Brussels control bureaucracy called EU?
I'd runaway fast from trade talks and try to reinstitute some kid of manufacturing program that makes at least 80 percent of the products used in the country.

But it makes a lot of the country dislike Texas intensely. It's like they think they are more important than they are - seriously. A gay guy moved to Seattle and was posting that he felt like he was having a hard time fitting in. As he elaborated, it appeared the problem was not that he was gay, Seattle is hugely supportive, but his very heavy Texas accent. I think if the country voted on Texas staying or leaving, more would vote for Texas to leave than Texas themselves. If Washington state were to leave, they wouldn't threaten, they would just vote and quietly leave.

And your example is exactly what's happened in Britain. London did not want this but London will lose tremendously in the financial markets.

In some ways you're right, I'm heavy in cash and will probably pick up some select equities on the cheap but between this and the election I think any meaningful growth just got put on ice for the next 24 months. Much longer if Trump wins.
Seacove, you're quite arrogant. Let's talk about where's England in couple of years again. Of course, England will pay for their independence for some time, but everything will be good in longer run.
And for your info, TX is doing quite good, despise the oil bust. Still kicking strong, not the strongest, but still good. I wouldn't want to see Seattle in crisis and bust. Piercing bubble.
I don't support Trump, but Hillary is even worse alternative, at least for me. Maybe, I can write Mickey Mouse on the ballots. No, I have an idea- libertarian all the way.
Anyway, less arrogant approach would suite you better.
Congratulation to Brits. Prepare for take off.
