    Exactly. If you think Brexit or Trump are a good idea, check your 401k or real estate value today.

    When the the rich lose value, what's next? Their businesses cut jobs so they can buy another yacht.

    I have.
    I was hoping to hear some opinions of some of the folks here, who actually had a vote in all this.
    Just curious to as what some folks here had to say.

    But yeah, I have spent the last few hours doing my homework.

    basically, dumb, scared old people voted for Trump to leave the EU

    young people who have a stake in the future voted to remain in the EU

    It's at least good to know the elites don't win at everything. We'll see what happens. I'm not worried about the stock market. It goes up and down all the time.

    The thing that bothers me is this is another example of the rising tide of right wing lunacy in the world. The Brexit has it's pros, cons, and unknowns, but it was pushed through on Trump-style fearmongering and scapegoating.
    I have this paranoid feeling in my bones that the world is going to step into more and more foolish wars over culture.

    I voted to remain and disappointed at the result. However, people now being really negative about how bad things will be and panicking will do no good. Hopefully things will calm down a bit. BTW it is a little known fact but the result is not legally binding and the Government can overturn the decision but seems not very likely.

    This is not a vote against European citizens. It is standing up against being dictated to by unelected cronies who have control over the population. This EU concept is fundamentally flawed in its current state and the rise of more extreme groups you refer to are just a symptom of the anti democratic EU. This vote will bring hope to an impoverished EU. No doubt there will be volatility in the short or medium term but there is a price to pay for standing up for democracy. I have studied this for years so try to forget the anti immigration issue and focus on why things are the way they are can be done to fix it. If the EU is serious about its future they must start listening to the people and certainly this unsustainable system must be dramatically reformed. I sincerely think it is a victory for good though it doesn't help being labeled anti immigrant. I now have hope for Europe which I admit was non existent before this referendum. I really hope that Dan Hannan will become PM now as he is positive, passionate about democracy and a uniting figure who rejects any negative immigration sentiment. Good luck Europe and Britain.

    Absolutely 100% dead on. Thankfully this is the first death twitch of global government, and if I was a betting man, I'd go all in on France, Germany and Italy joining the party at some point in the near future.

    Global elites want everyone under their control. That is what's best for the banks, corporations and the power hungry. It's not about some faux Utopia that people think exists, because they are too blind to see the reality. The only thing disappointing about the vote is that it was so close. It should have been a blowout.

    From Sadiq Khan:
    "I want to send a clear message to every European resident living in London - you are very welcome here. As a city, we are grateful for the enormous contribution you make, and that will not change as a result of this referendum.
    There are nearly one million European citizens living in London today, and they bring huge benefits to our city - working hard, paying taxes, working in our public services and contributing to our civic and cultural life.
    We all have a responsibility to now seek to heal the divisions that have emerged throughout this campaign - and to focus on what unites us, rather than that which divides us".

    It must be quite frustrating for British people here to read the comments of people from other countries (mostly America) saying how great this is for democracy etc. Not so great for those who will now have to face the consequences, starting with an inevitable recession.

    I must admit that in my head I found myself kind of hoping they'd vote to leave but this was in complete ignorance of any of the facts or potential consequences. It was simply born out of a distrust of central European control and also a notion that this could be an alternative route to Scottish independence. I also felt safe in having these thoughts, thinking 'sure it doesn't matter, of course they'll vote to stay in'.

    Now, I feel perhaps such thoughts were quite foolish and that the British may soon come to greatly regret this decision, if they do not already...
