Brexit June 24, 2016, 03:11:18 pm Quote from: cookie2 on June 24, 2016, 03:10:21 pmObviously that could be one possibility. I wonder though how high it would be on a new governments list of priorities, especially if that government is led by a bloke called Bill? You never know what is going to happen, just ask the EU?

Could also re-ignite a serious push for Irish re-unification, Sinn Fein are already making noises. There will be a major problem to be resolved there due to the border between north and south if one country is in the EU and the other is not.Apologies this is way off topic now!

Perhaps Scotland will secede from the Union and apply to join the EU I suspect other countries will be thinking seriously about their membership of the EU.

Catholics are out-breeding Protestants, that's a fact. In other words, once it gets way past 50/50, it'll be game on, assuming the majority want it to happen. And then, you need to consider if the south even wants the north. Not guaranteed at all. Remember that generations have acclimatised to a separation. Never mind The threat of sectarian violence by idiot unionists in the South if there was a united Ireland. Very real, scary possibility. One of the reason I left the place - politics are utterly fuc&ed.

The guy has blood on his hands and the only reason he isn't dead and now in Southern Ireland politics is because of a deal made for the Northern Ireland peace process. He is not well loved by half of the north I can assure you. Wasted decades of prosperity at the hands of him and Ian Paisley. Idiots both.
Re: Brexit Reply #9 – June 24, 2016, 06:00:50 pm Not good news for Australia IMO, the sterling will be devalued and I reckon share prices will keep falling and world economies get shaky when this stuff happens....could lead to a recession in the UK and problems for us in terms of a GFC again...

Long term it may work out but If the scots leave the UK watch the money run out of the U.K. .It will be a blood bath.

A worrying time for sure.
Re: Brexit Reply #13 – June 25, 2016, 09:15:50 am I'm guessing that buyer's remorse will be the order of the day over there. The Leave camp is already walking away from core promises such as a promise emblazoned on a campaign bus that the annual money paid to the EU would be paid into the National Health Service. After the vote concluded, Google was bombarded with searches in England on 'What is the EU?' Truth is stranger than fiction.
