It's been called, they are leaving. God exists, I can't say anything had made me more happy about this in a long time. Praise be to all the people who have had enough and had the stones to vote up.
Personally this really frustrates/angers me, but you know, gotta just move forward from here.
The finance markets were super interesting tonight too, the first few remain results kept the Sterling pretty steady, then the big Sunderland leave result dropped it hugely, and now it's down to 1.35 or so against the USD for the first time since 1985 or something.
I mean it's dropped by like 8% in the space of a few hours, which for a steady currency for a G8 nation is absolutely insane, as a 1% drop is generally considered big.
And yeah I've stayed up all night watching how things have been going.
Interesting to see one more interested in a fiat currency which is always in flux then a sovereign nation and a nation of sovereign laws not subject to the whims of the radical leftist agenda such a Germany who spearheads the EU now. Secondly I highly doubt this currency exchange effects you that much in your personal finances. If it did, maybe you lost some, maybe you didn't. Either way, you have a free country now. Don't spoil it by fretting over a fiat currency.
What other countries in the EU have upcoming referendums on whether to rescind their membership?

We've been involved in like 95% of the positive votes in the EU and have only lost out in the other 5 or so. The vast majority of issues here are not caused by the EU, but rather austerity led policies from a right wing government that will now only get more right wing after this. The whole 'the EU is oppressing you and ruining your life' stance is a fallacy that's been perpetuated by politically motivated media, that in and of itself is owned by billionaires with no agenda to help the country and its people.
And I mean yeah it probably doesn't affect my personal finances too much as I'm just graduating from uni with barely any money, but that doesn't mean it's worth talking about as London is the the finance capitol of the entire planet.
Anyway, don't worry Britain. After your currency finishes free-falling into oblivion, we'll gladly accept you guys as a protectorate- not a state though... more like a... "colony", I suppose. Some entity that's under our umbrella but doesn't have any representation in our governance.

Ironic that you say that as an American, as conceptually the EU is Europe's answer to the United States. Britain leaving the EU is equivalent to a US state seceding, with the exception that there are rules in the EU that make it legal to leave.
