so GBR's liuberals want democracy but then they're displeased when the vote doesnt go their way?
sounds familiar. will the UK give scotland and northern ireland a vote on leaving?

I'm pretty liberal, but I think the idea of leaving the EU is okay. Many countries have complained about the fact that the EU has been more of a detriment than a benefit, and I can see why. We will see over time, whether this will be beneficial to England or not.
I do not support these anti immigrant sentiments however.

I don't understand the perception that this will damage their economy significantly... Norway and Switzerland have kicked ass without it just fine.

Norway and Switzerland are more socioeconomically and sociodemographically homogenous, thus their policies of isolationism and socialism backed by the wealth of their natural resources allows their societies to work the way they do while more diverse societies like USA and UK have a tougher time of it. A problem diversity can bring is too many hands out for too many interest groups asking for their slice of the pie, and little gets done.

Sure, they have benefits to their situations no doubt, but I don't think that the UK needs an even larger, more diverse multinational entitly with even more interests asking for their slice of the pie on top of their situation

There are lot of business located in London becasue it's the financial capital of the EU. Those business will be going elsewhere.

I think it's pretty telling that the people who campaigned for brexit don't want to have anything to do with actually implementing it. Even that Farrage turd resigned. WTF.

That is true, though it was basically the financial capital of the world before the EU was even around.

Yes, but London is currently the financial capital of the worlds largest economy, the EU. If it goes it alone, it is the financial capital of the 5th largest economy, behind the US, The EU. Japan, and China.

I guess we'll see how it plays out. My guess is that it will ultimately work out fine for them, similarly to if they had never joined, and if anything it may increase the chances of other countries leaving as well.

No they won't. Please provide proof, if you have any. All major banks situated in the capital, have all ready expressed that they are staying put and all jobs will remain in the UK, despite the out come of the vote!

Really, where are they going?
Please list the financial institutions that said they're going to leave London because of the Brexit vote.

which seems strange it was there in the first place - seeing as the UK never even used the euro...

There have been a few large companies already that have said they would relocate to Europe at least in part, and some companies are not making future plans for the UK because of a climate of uncertainty that will last years.
why are you guys so unable to use google except if it concerns finding Britain First-esque youtube videos.
Easyjet, Vodaphone, Goldman Sachs, Siemans, Visa, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citi group, Morgan Stanley, HSBC have all spoken about moving jobs and various aspects of their operation out of the UK.

You're either lying or not paying attention.
Banks begin moving some operations out of Britain
Quote:
Banks have already begun to take action to shift operations out of the UK, but most of their staff will have to wait several months to find out how many thousands of them will be asked to move to fledgling financial hotspots like Paris, Dublin and Frankfurt. Investment banks, who donated heavily to the Remain campaign, have reacted immediately to Britain’s referendum result, with some of London’s largest institutions approaching regulators to secure licences and lining up executives to relocate.

Yes stated, BEFORE the referendum. Yet here we are, two weeks on after leaving and not one has taken any action to fulfill the threats made prior to the vote and nor will they!

That sites a complete load of horse shit. Subscribe to read? Who are they even referring to?
Two of Britain's biggest banks say they will stay in the UK following the Brexit: Bosses of HSBC and Barclays confirm they have no plans to leave

well the point you fail to grasp is that we haven't left the EU yet. The referendum didn't take immediate effect so please see above where i mentioned a "climate of uncertainty that will last years". That climate affects the long term plans for businesses. The fall out from this vote will be going on for a long time.

You listed HSBC. They have all ready stated out right that they will be staying in the UK, despite their threats of job losses before the vote. Its idle horse shit, used by big business, to scare the general public into voting for remain and the status quo. They failed and this particular organizations instant back tracking after the leave vote, despite the earlier threats, is evidence of that!
