In agreement.  The UK has been a member of the European Union since 1973 and opting out now will have economic consequences across Europe at a time when both the British pound and Euro are weakening against the US Dollar.  It would be interesting to see the outcome when the polls close later today.  But I believe the Brits will vote to remain in the union.

  If Britain leaves it means travel, work, living in europe becomes problematic. I want to live in Spain. My sis got us some swank properties at depressed prices and I hope to be able to go there freely in the future. Exit from the union would make it difficult. Spain is popular with brits. Many will have to leave losing value in their homes in this harsh economy if they do

Danyael you are one dumb fool. You put money in front of people. you don't fool people on this Board into believing that those central and Eastern Europeans that are coming into Britain are not racist towards Pakis and East Indians. They are extremely racist towards our people particularly the Polish.

They put our people lives at risk. Britain needs to leave the European Union and concentrate on building the Commonwealth instead of staying in this race trap.

If Britain were to exit look for Scotland to bring back a referendum to leave the UK. The Welsh may soon follow. The border area between Northern Ireland and Ireland (which is still in the EU) will become problematic. Britain will lose all those subsidies rom the EU and will have to negotiate a new Trade Agreement which will be on less favorable terms than being a member. Washington may pivot to Berlin as Great Britain becomes Little England.

Brexit is led by the racist UKIP and Boris Johnson who from the 1990s was anti-EU for the wrong reasons.

I don't think Brexit wins today. Britain will remain.

You are clearly bonkers. Poles have never done me wrong. But then again I do not know many Poles personally.  I live among eastern europeans, mainly Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians, etc. and they are all quite nice to me.

These are all beautiful people and while they may be racist I have not seen it. I cannot speak to Indian experience with these people. I only can speak to what I know. 

Contrary to you, I want Britain to remain. I think it would be better for Britain and for Europe. The commonwealth did not want to be a part of the Federation so they made a choice decades ago.

Boris is married to a Sikh woman he himself comes from a long line of blond Turks he knows exactly what is going on. Thatcher hated South Asians but she also hated Europeans like Italians but these people like Cameron are all about creating opportunities for the white race.

 

Whoever has ulterior personal plans I only see the benefit to the whole. Britain will spare itself internal disintegration, ethnic discontent and connection to global markets. Many brits live outside Britain in Europe. They benefit no less than Poles. Note Poles are nationalistic and they are temporary workers who have "left behind families" to whom they want to return. No one kicked us out, treated us badly or sought to build walls except Trump. We are here and we contribute. Similarly Poles who remain contribute.

These central and Eastern Europeans use white skin racial unity and use minorities by playing the us vs them race card to (for a better word) curry favor with the British people in order to get up in British society. It is time Britain leaves Europe and reestablish its role in the Commonwealth.

Shut your stupid racist behind. This will not stop racism but it will now mean an new level of isolationism that will adversely affect Britain. The idea that this is to avoid racism of others is bunk. The people who support this are the racist nationalist,  bigots. They now have to live with it.

You are accusing me of being a racist. The numerous acts of racism and racial violence against East Indians by Poles, Germans and other central /Eastern Europeans in Britain is there to see. What people like you don't see is the behind the scenes racial incitement of the British people against minorities that these Central and Eastern Europeans do  to curry favor with the British people and get up in British society.

Brexit good for the PNC, gold up 5%, oil down 4% and the dollar holding firm.

I believe the impact of Brexit is being overplayed though there will be short term uncertainties.  The Brits were never fully in with both feet.  They did not join the currency union and the maintained a hard border even though they are a Shengen country!

You hate poles because some poles hate indians. That is as bigoted as the poles who hate indians. That is a straight forward argument. There are white people everywhere that hate minorities. That does not drive me to hate white people because I have white neighbors and they are to a large extent like everyone else, worrying about their personal problems and not unkind to me.  I can see from trump fly over country support base that in other areas the ideas about immigrants are different. My neighbors are mainly white immigrants.

Trump has taken a far more pragmatic approach to the whole Brexit affair, that is, say less as it's the will of the people.  I dont agree with his entire stance but why wade into another nation's internal affairs.  Obama, on the other hand, says Britain now moves to the back of the line.  What the heck does he mean, Britain has been our best ally before the EU.  Trump grasp it and said no, Britain remains in the front of the line.  Given it was due process and the people have spoken, it was the best approach. This is a matter for the Brits to decide.

Personally, I think they should have stayed, but those bloody Limeys always have a problem with a dominant Germany!

Trump had predicted this.  Watch now for the rest of the EU to disintegrate one country at a time.  The European countries have to protect their borders against the "enemy" as immigration and terrorism take root.  Brussels is doing nothing to help these countries so now it's time for them to step out and take charge.  Trump is going to one up them all the way.

Right wing nationalism is not the way to go. It is where we were at the beginning of the 19th century. It resulted in brutal wars, and generalized poverty. The Maastricht treaty was a beacon of hope that there would be one people one, europe, one purpose. It was an experiment that consociationalism can replace ethnic nationalism.   Fear of Muslims has generated a resurgence of ethnic nationalism and fractures within the union. What will come out of this cannot be good for the region.
