SgtRock Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 HONG KONG (AP) - British pound tumbles to 31-year low as EU vote results show 'leave' side in lead. It's the Euro's future that should now be in doubt. That will come when the EU release the held back report on the financial state of Italy and Spain.

Jip99 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Anna Botting says the Out campaign has won Birmingham by 3,500 votes. Waiting for an official declaration. This is the first time I have really seen every person's vote count. The people of the UK are making their voice heard and it is having a dramatic effect. Not like the General Election where 4m votes, for example, counted for nothing. Here, every single vote counts and it is a truly independent representation of the Kingdom.

dick dasterdly Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It really does look as if 'leave' are going to win. How wrong was I in thinking the bookies had it right?! Assuming the 'leave' vote carries the day, hopefully it will lead to a huge shake-up for politicians as they realise the electorate have had enough of their policies - advantaging themselves and big business, without any care for the poor or average.

happy Joe Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 For the very reasons you cite you the EU will not be playing hardball with anyone. The more the EU throws tantrums, the more it will cause others to rethink their current positions. You know, an Europe with a first circle limited to Germany, France, Italy and Spain would suit me perfectly. Furthermore the brexit that english people had the courage to vote breaks a little the US tutelage. And it suits me still more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franky Bear Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Save Well done GREAT BRITAIN. Democracy speaking loud and clear. Democracy returning to our own hands. There's a few tough years ahead, but, this wasn't about short term gains or falls. This wasn't about any MP or businessman. Its about protecting the United Kingdom and our future generations from the failed EU and being in control of our own Parliment and courts. No country on earth should have a foreign parliament control vital laws, courts, the way of life of another country. I hope all,other members of the EU have their referendums and vote out. We are a smart nation, we will get through a tough few years and flourish. We will still be the world's financial center, we will still have huge exports. If we make mistakes, and we will make mistakes, then they are our mistakes, not a Bulgarians. This is the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
