And they will lose lots of favorable trade treaties, meaning that they will, very likely, have to pay more tariffs ...Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post
not only to EU countries, but also to countries that have trade treaties with the EU
Not to forget that the pime minister of scotland already announced that a new poll about leaving the UK now is very likely
(and I guess, it will result in a breakaway of scotland from the UK).
North Ireland might follow with its own poll
UK citizens already feel very very bad, throughout the country:
There are even Pro-Brexit-Voters who are feeling remorseful now and say that they didn't want the Brexit, but didn't believe that their vote would make a difference (and tgherefore voted pro it)Last edited by Proteus_MST; June 24, 2016, 11:21.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

this has to do with the brits being very emotional people.
They got from ruling 1/3 of the world to a 3rd rate economy within a behemoth.
Unscrupulus people bet on this thimical/sentimental and got what they wanted.
Although germany is behind all of this
germany does not fear a brexit. germany fears one thing and one thing only: inflationComment

There is nothing stopping UK to remain the part of EEA, like Norway, which really means that nothing changes. Economically the setup is the same as right now, resource economy or not.Originally posted by Dauphin View Post
The only people stopping such an outcome are politicians negotiating, UK on one side and EU bureaucrats on the other. EU may want to be punitive again, as they cannot do to UK what they did to Greece, they may want to "kick" them while they are down, but again if they behave this way, they will hurt themselves too.
A lot of fuss over not much in principle, being part of EEA - UK keeps all the "benefits" of the single market except that it loses the right to vote on the central decisions.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good."

The EU is much more than just a free trade zone.
There are rules directing what can or not be deemed as state subsidy, a bazilion regulation notes etc etc
The UK can start enacting protective measures in any industry it wants, giving it instant boost in the short term. It can do a ****load of sector boosting, direct state funds as it sees fit, be completely free from commission directifves.
It has virtually regained the sum of its financial authority.
this will give it some short term boost and will probably result in the EU taking retaliatory (protective) actions itself.
It's not just a matter of free trade that can indeed be given but with some rewards (for example free movement of people!) so we are back to where we startedComment

Pound will bounce back, but that Cameron quit it is a win-win scenario (unless UK gets Boris without an election, then maybe not
)
