johnl023 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Early polls have shown that the referendum in the UK on whether or not the country should stay in the EU have signalled that the referendum will be a tight race. (As of posting, the referendum vote counting is ongoing.) On one hand, there are fears that a "Brexit" will harm the British economy, as well as the EU. On another hand, the proponents of the UK leaving the EU say that such an exit would benefit the UK in a long run, in terms of security and safety. I'd like to ask the people of P&W a question: would a Brexit be beneficial or harmful to the UK? Please remain civil in your debates.

Baronus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Seen the stock markets? The pound has sunken with 30%. Heard that Northern Ireland and Scotland want to leave the UK again?

We'd beat them so badly that after we're through Catalonia will be independent, Portugal will own Galicia, and Spain will be Castille again.

Aisha Greyjoy Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well, The United Kingdom has left the EU. Congrats to the UK! Technically no. There is no binding force of law to this. However, the next Prime Minister, probably the former London Mayor, a major Brexit campaigner, will invoke Article 30 of the Lisbon accords and begin the process(probably taking up to 2 years) to exit the EU. It didn't leave...yet. Quote Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't leave...yet. It's Article 50. Cameron tried to scaremonger saying if the vote when leave he'd do it immediately but he hasn't. The next prime minister (very likely Boris as you say) won't necessarily trigger it immediately either as he'll likely want to see what happens in the French elections. Marine Le Pen has vowed to hold a referendum in France within 6 months of her victory. Boris... might thus help Le Pen out in her efforts to leave the EU which... yeah thats definite game over for the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be Aragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
