>>342662438
Uhuh
Have you looked at the stock markets? Have you looked at what business leaders are saying? Have you looked at what economists are even saying about the pound 'bouncing back'?
No, of course not
This is a silly argument for you to even make, everyone knew that the EU was positive for the economy so at least have the balls to admit that the economy was the sacrifice you made, don't pretend it's all rosy because it objectively isn't if you even have a slight knowledge of how EU trade works

Except the EU is exactly the opposite for the economy, as shown by Greece.
>>342662575

Literally no economists or people with any actual knowledge predicted anything but bad things
That is why London was opposed to the rest of England and was politically aligned with Scotland, something that never fucking happens. London is where the people who actually have high stakes in stocks and the economy are, and guess what they unanimously said would be fucking terrible. Literally no major businesses supported it either, which is why the market shat itself when Britain voted to leave. If there were predictions of prosperity, then that wouldn't have happened.
>>342662575
America hates Shitlarry but they hate trump even more.
Its basically a "What do you want : Drink my piss or eat my shit" situation where noone wins.

It means Brits will probably adopt a new rating system. Maybe get weeb games sooner.
Nice thread OP.
I would think my left leaning contemporaries would have wanted this, given the fact that the EU is well known for forcing austere policies on countries in Europe. I mean yeah, travel is going to be tougher, but if it means not having to deal with banking cartels and rich elites, isn't that a good thing? You don't HAVE to have Tories, right? Boris doesn't have to be the next Prime Minister, correct?

But yeah, keep going with vague 'bureaucracy' and regulation. What regulation specifically is it that you have a problem with? I bet you don't even know a single one.
>>342663079

You mean Southern Ireland right, because the EU did literally not a single fucking thing for us. They saved the South by giving them a fuck ton of money to the point where they're hugely in debt to the EU now.
>>342663228
Yes, reducing pensions is a form of austerity. It's a cost cutting measure.
>>342662698
I'm an economist and only the global elite are going to take a hit. The pound will take 1-2 years to recover, but it was expected to take a hit. No business partnership has ever dissolved without taking a hit immediately after, but its not permanent. They are one of the largest economies in the world and will do very well as long as they handle their trade well on their own. The only one who will truly take a permanent hit is the rest of EU, as the UK was their second largest source of income, next to Germany. They will now have to raise taxes across the board to accommodate, This will only spark more countries seeking their independence, which we already see several countries currently pushing to do so.
Of course all countries won't leave the EU, and some will be so tied to the global elite that they will continue to make money, but I quickly see EU downsizing over the next 10 years.
>tfw Brits uncucked themselves
do I just continue laughing at Sweden and Canada?
>>342663218
>And free movement of goods, services and persons throughout Europe
Yeah, bureaucracy is necessary to move an item from location x to location y. It's physically impossible to conduct trade without a government institution there at every step. I don't know how trade ever happened anywhere in the world before the formation of the EU. Thank god for government bureaucracies. Why, without them, it'd be impossible for me to even climb out of bed.
>>342663430
We're still in Europe. The EU is essentially a huge trade agreement, we didn't just leave the continent. Jesus christ.
>>342663334
What did it do for Greece? They still faced 25%+ unemployment. Financial collapse happened anyway.
I am just amazed how many people voted on this without even knowing how the EU works
The EU is literally only permitted to legislate on free movement of goods, persons and services. That is literally it, it's an economic union. Most of the shit you retards complain about are things that the UK government already has exclusive power over. The EU literally has nothing to do with muslim immigration at all, for one. Polish people are about as far as you're getting.
I can't exactly blame you because tabloids were basically peddling lies this time around, and suggesting ridiculous regulations existed that simply didn't, so you may have believed that and I guess I can understand if you didn't know any better, but you really should know better now.
>>342663239
>>342663294
Well I dont hate Trump, dude is right about shitskins but Merkel 2.0 WILL happen.Enjoy your awfull future with Shitskins AND niggers
It's hilarious to watching butthurt Marxist faggots whine about markets after Brexit. Yeah, you cunts are really concerned about preserving the global capitalist elite aren't you?
>>342661691
Hopefully
>>342663679
Gave them absolute shitloads of money to avoid bankruptcy and delayed the crash for years?
It is obviously not a success story but without the EU help Greece would have bankrupted during the recession and that would have had massive knockon effects for the rest of Europe as well. Same with Ireland who actually is doing okay now.
>>342663723
They shouldn't be permitted to legislate anything. Cameron, Merkel, people like them should be thrown, hand-cuffed, out of helicopters into the ocean. There is literally no reason for the EU to exist. How are people so stupid that they think a government can make trade more effective?
But this is about sovereignty, not muh markets

>>342663723
Maybe I'm mistaken here, but doesn't Troika have something to do with the EU? Do they not have influence over it?
>>342663741
People are more concerned about having jobs and a decent economy
Do you even know what a marxist is? There's literally no discussion of those sorts of topics at all. Are you the kind of person who just pushes everyone into an extreme camp if they disagree with you no matter what they actually said? Because it's looking that way to me.
>>342663723
Under the EU, any European can freely immigrant to any other EU country they like. Turkey has been pushing hard to join the EU, and this could be devastating to the West, as that could mean as many as 75 million mudslimes free to rape and pillage across the continent.
>>342663038
Maybe the half of England that sees no future for themselves or their kin want to see the elites in London lose it all, just like them. Maybe they really hate them for years of insults, browbeating and marginalization.
This is what happens when we lose the middle class. We have been seeing the beginning of global push back.

Yeah, and everyone knows it's literally impossible to conduct commerce without a foreign government having greater sovereignty over your economy than the actual country. Without the EU, money wouldn't exist and trade would never happen. Everyone who voted to leave is probably a racist too, right?
>>342663871
>There is literally no reason for the EU to exist.
It exists to facilitate free trade throughout Europe. That's the point. It creates a universal standard and simplifies trade through what would otherwise be a clusterfuck of different regulations and rules for every country. There's a lot of countries in Europe as I'm sure you know.
That's why it exists. So no, there is not ''literally no reason'. You might not think it is a good reason, but there is a reason and it had a tangible benefit. You also vastly exaggerate the legislative power it actually had, as has the tabloid media in general.

>>342663062

>>342664232
So you're telling me that excessive regulation is harmful to commerce? And that the solution is more regulation. Truly amazing.
>>342663968
Germany is actually making more money through EU trading than she is putting into the union meaning Germany is profiting a lot from the EU
>>342664446
Oh? Have you looked at customs/tax charges etc when you import from those countries? Are you aware of how much easier it makes cross border trade for businesses within Europe?
Of course, trade does still exist, it's pretty ridiculous to claim it doesn't, and frankly if this is the angle you're taking it's not going to convince anyone. However, trade was substantially better due to the uniform regulation. I saw a post earlier that claimed it created 'bureaucracy', it actually exists to streamline trade, which had huge benefits for businesses large and small, as well as individuals.
That's why it exists. I don't even really understand why you're arguing. This isn't an opinion, it existed for this reason, and common sense should make clear that the easier it is to trade the easier it is to trade. That's it. There's not much to argue about here.
>>342663062
Gimme dem magic powers
>>342663835
Well it clearly did still have an effect on everyone else in the Eurozone, maybe not a financial collapse but people are still hurting. Plenty of countries still face around 8 to 10 percent unemployment, with Spain at 20% and Croatia sitting at 15. Not to mention the austerity measures that they had to take in order to prop up Greece.
Maybe having so many countries sharing an economy isn't such a good idea. At least with sovereignty you don't have to worry about subsidizing failed states with corrupt leaders, dragging everyone down in the process. It sounds like a very fragile system.
>>342664736
sure does explain the raised taxes
>>342664818
Is bass magic?
>>342664819
I'm not an economist and neither are you so I'm not going to go into the specifics on whether a country in Europe genuinely bankrupting would be preferable to what actually happened, but the shared economy has done fairly well considering the recession and the austerity many countries have been forced into as a result. You probably disagree though.
>>342663294
It's true though.
Only alt-rightists like Trump and only "party first" democrats like Hillary.
The two-party system is cancer.
>>342665056
Truth, but until it becomes profitable for corporations to prop up more 3rd parties we're going to be stuck with 2 parties like we have since the old Torries and Whigs.
