Our colleagues, Matt and Janire just skyped me up yesterday and were
quite concerned about the implications for them...
Matt is from the UK, Janire from Spain, and they both attended
University in Wales and have been doing good business throughout
UK/EU/etc without any friction, thanks to the UK participation in the
EU. They are now very concerned that they will be significantly
constrained by the new situation.
They are also very unhappy with the general right-wing knee-jerk in
progress (from their perspective) that htey feel rivals our own "Trumped
up" stuff.
INteresting times!

From what I've read, young people overwhelmingly voted to stay.
Unfortunately, if the exit is indeed bad from Great Britain, those

Sometimes, I think that people should be given more than one vote, the
number of votes being inversely proportional to age. Of course, that
devalues any wisdom that may have accumulated by living long (perhaps
not displayed in this vote). In any case, I hope they do decide to
have a second referendum, following an open, vigorous debate on the
issues that divide the people.

Boy, Howdy, did Cameron Mess up!
So, he now loses his premiership to the right wing of his own
party. Scotland, and perhaps N. Ireland, will now opt out of
the UK in a few years, leaving England a teensy libertarian
paradise under Boris Johnson.
Gill, here is how I think the parliamentary system works.
Cameron resigns. That precipitates an election for party
leader amongst the conservatives. If that goes smoothly,
there is no election. If that is bloody, and some faction of
the Conservatives is willing to join Labor in a vote of no
confidence, THAT will precipitate an election.
Parliament is sovereign in the UK. So, a new parliament could
do anything it wanted, including, presumably, not leave the EU.
I think that’s how it is. I would love to be corrected.

From what I heard David Cameron messed it up. He failed
miserably. In order to get elected and to get rid of his right
wing critics he promised the people this referendum where they
can vote for or against the EU. If people had voted to remain
in the EU it would have been a victory for him. It wasn't. He
lost.
Most of the "Brexit" voters voted against the EU because they
are against immigrants and want to make Britain great again,
much like Trump in US. Unfortunately it will not happen, the
British Pound will drop, customs will raise and the UK will
slide into a recession. EU funding for universities in the UK
will stop. It looks pretty bad for Great Britain, as you can
see in the reaction of the stock markets.
TL;DR Cameron messed it up and everyone in Europe is a bit
shocked about the result of the referendum.

Jochen

Subject: [FRIAM] Anyone from England
Care to speculate what's going on with this leave the EU thing?
I can guess but I might be wrong, I suppose I thought while
the EU comes across as a discuntional family. I didn't know
drama between England and the rest of Europe was so bad that
they'd want to leave.
places like telegraph aren't exactly helping matters:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24/eu-referendum-live-david-cameron-resigns-as-uk-shocks-the-world/
So anyone from England have some opinions about what's going on?
Also as it is reported in America it's a close call of 48 to
50% unless I totally misunderstand parimentarian best
practices I thought that's when they called for another vote
or a simple majority?
Or am I wrong?
More importantly can I still move there if a certain
delusional Sith think's he can do some good?not a sith lord,
just a sith, he's got all the makings of a sith, just not a
good one.
:P
How's the beer and weather?
Where's a good place to live?
Anyway I hope all everyone has a day full of glory!
MUCH MERRIMENT AND REVELRY!
