Economic Agreements, pretty much this: https://twitter.com/benfurneaux/sta.....90097167933440

dont count your chickens before they hatch...there has already been a massive petition for a 2nd referendum and it has overwhelmingly succeeded because it was less then 60% of the country it maybe taken into account, you see even if you voted yes or no, we are only advisory, it dont mean shit in the long run since its our parliament who are the judge in the matter, they cast the verdict, that is a sovereign democracy for you, so best keep your eyes open in case

As much as I'd like it to happen a 'neverendum' is entirely impossible. Cameron has resigned-not-yet-resigned and Corbyn is facing off against a no confidence vote. The only political parties that have any strength left in them are UKIP which is not going to approve "best of three" even though their leader said last month that a 52-48 split would mean 'unfinished business', and the SNP which is not going to put it's independence 2.0 on hold just for the chance to remain a part of Britain.

Even if by some chance there was a second vote on the issue it wouldn't make a difference, the EU has already told us British to pack our bags and go now before they do it for us according to their own terms, you think they've been nasty towards us before just wait until we start dragging our feet. Trust is gone now and it wont be coming back for a long time, and I mean a long time. The youth who voted in the majority to remain in the Union will be on their deathbeds before Britain will even be allowed to reapply for membership and even then the request to join will be subject to European consent which makes it even less likely to succeed.

And all this is of course assuming the pettiness of western European right-wingers hasn't fractured the continent into 28-odd mutually distrustful dwarf states all receiving the competing "affection" of certain other foreign powers. I say western European because it is only in the western regions of Europe where after WW2 an entire generation of people has gone from birth to old age knowing peace and democracy as the rule rather than the exception, the first and so far only generation in the continent's history so blessed, and only in western Europe are political demagogues petitioning for their own departure referendums. While on the other side of the former Iron Curtain where people have experienced a different and more oppressive way of life they seem to enjoy being part of a united community of democratic nations, apparently they see some value in it all that we in the west have missed.

well its still the early stages atm, anything can happen between now and next month, if things do come to the worst and the MPs dont make a quick decisions to salvage this since the majority of the party is still for europe, we could be looking at an END TIMES for england as we know it...if it had to be said....this is the deep breath before the plunge

There are a lot of problems that have emerged in the wake of this vote. Not least of which was the revelation that the day after the results were announced "What is the EU?" was the second most popular EU related search term in the UK. I was actually of the belief that the voting public knew better than that and at the very least actually understood beforehand what we were voting on if not the consequences their vote would have, but apparently Chinese anti-democracy propaganda has some merit to it.

That fact that you had two 50/50 splits in the past year on huge territorial issues, and just up and swiftly basing your opinions on that 1.5% offset, is troubling. Such issues need to have support of at least 60% of the people, else you end up tearing yourself apart from the inside.

The value of your currency lowered by 10% didn't it? Lowest since the 80s? I'm not sure if that's quite worth it. Nationalism and pride have influenced the economic security and made the country into a joke. I'd take security over a patriotic zeal any day

I'm waiting for Scotland to make another vote to leave the UK, seeing how ALL of Scotland wanted to stay with the EU.

Not all, only 43% of them voted to remain in the EU whilst 25% voted to leave. The remainder did not vote.

Which is still almost a 2 to 1 troubling offset.
68% is a lot - almost 7 out of 10.

But still 43% is not a majority; 57% either wanted to leave or did not care about the result so why does that mean Scotland should get independence?
Besides my point is that not ALL of Scotland wanted to stay with the EU, less then half stated that.

As someone who initially voted for Scottish independence in the 1st referendum, I would firmly vote to stay with the UK if a second one occoured. Not least because of the problems it would cause on the home front; but if we left the UK to stay in the EU; I'm sure they would have lots of "imporvements" that they would like us to take on. And the Euro.

Pretty sure it would also screw up the value of the pound even further.

I am one of many Britons who won't doesn't care if Scotland goes because it will save the rest of the UK financially because of all of the Benefits you get. However I don't want for our history and culture to be torn up as a proud Britain (hence my username).

My head says let you guys go but my heart wishes for you guys to stay. But as a passionately cultural person I believe I want you to stay more so.

Besides, if you do go then you ruin Scotland's biggest and most influential invention; the United Kingdom, invented by your King James VII. I don't call myself English becuase the British have achieved far greater things, things that were only possible because Scotland made it possible. Through the UK Scotland achieved great things and will do so again.
