Brexit

[The_Equalizer]

The FT published again over the weekend if Brexit wins then the UK would disintegrate.

Devolution to Scotland, Wales and NI government and assemblies involved agreeing that the UK would be a member of the EU.

So they would all have to vote whether to remain part of the UK if Brexit wins.

Maybe, just maybe Scotland. Wales is 50/50 Brexit (or at least was in the last poll) and Northern Ireland is (unsurprisingly) highly split down religious lines. Moreover, I don't see the SNP saying they'll stop fighting for an indy Scotland should it be Remain.

yep keep it going. I want to see 7000 FTSE next week

6600, tops, followed by the realisation that the global economy is still a turd, US stocks are still stretched, and an Italian banking crash is on the horizon. Also, an appreciating Sterling is not good for a global index like the FTSE 100. I'll be selling shortly after the relief rally, probably towards the end of next week.

Absolutely and negotiating with a disgruntled EU wanting to teach the UK a lesson. Huge challenges ahead. England could end up with border controls up it's Western and Northern borders.

Still if that's what the UK wants, will make interesting headlines for the next few years

So they can continue to enjoy:

Protection from their own government exploiting current EU labour laws such as maternity entitlement; discrimination protection; holiday entitlement; agency workers’ rights; and data protection principles.

I've seen this argument a few times. It's a poor one because it roughly translates as " I want the non democratically elected EU Comission to protect me from the activities of my fully democratically elected UK Government ".

Both Bremain and Brexit have a selection of excellent arguments at their disposal. This isn't one of them.

Remain and then an European economic 5hit storm?

The majority of baby boomers look to be voting for BREXIT (unlike the reported younger voters leaning towards BREMAIN). And this is in the full knowledge of the threat of a house price crash if BREXIT wins. I do get the distinct impression that boomers are thinking about their children, and the youth are think about visa free travel and a bowl of rainbow filled breakfast cereal.

So credit, where credit is due boomers. If you are for BREXIT, I thank you.

if the young do vote remain they are more stupid than i thought .

however this 20% housing crash is chump change , the establishment will just issue more HTB to boost it some more.

This sick and twisted greedy self interest society makes no sense to me anymore.

Remain and then an European economic 5hit storm?

The irony of the next couple of years is going to be as spectacular as it is depressing. I can't see any scenario where a recession doesn't hit in the next 1-3 years, and it's difficult to see how the EU will withstand it. There are also several upcoming elections within the EU that have the capacity to shock. We won't escape this turmoil, in or out, but it's going to underline the structural flaws in the EU, if that was needed.

FTSE 100 rallies and pound heads for biggest daily rise in eight years on reduced Brexit fears

It's all over now.

Not wishing to be a pedant, but the article states seven years, not eight. Are you trying to influence the outcome of the forthcoming referendum ?
