I would like the Euro to succeed but I can't see it succeeding with the membership that it currently has. The role of the central banks is to maintain currencies reserve, interest rate and liquidity to suit the economy. If members' economies are divergent, like German and Spanish, one size...

Judging by what has been going on since the result was known, I fear there is no positive outcome for anyone but a few people who have campaigned for years to get the UK out of the EU and even to break up the EU.

I think the intention of the petitioners is to play for time, work out a strategy then put the new strategy to the electorate before invoking article 50. This time, the vote may go to remain. crossed with flecc's

I would not bank on it. Banks and financial services will remain weak. I am much more concerned with the value of the Pound, we may see the Pound stuck at $1.35-$1.40 for the foreseable future. This means oil, gas, electronics and machinery will go up by 7%-10%, food paid mostly in Euro will go...

one possible outcome is for Scotland to become independent and to remain in the EU but not to join Schengen and to have their own currency, NI reunited with Ireland, the city of London relocated to Edinburgh.

we trade already with all of them. If we trade a bit more with them after Brexit, it could be put down to the current positive trend while still inside the EU. It's got to be spectacular progress to prove the point that outside is better than inside.

seriously, I can look forward to Labour and LibDem fighting the next general elections on a pro EU platform.

I believe that the UK has always wanted a special status in the world. Now we've got it. BTW, the petition for the second referendum has now hit the 3 million mark. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215

when the next Chancellor presents his first budget, the UK will realize the cost of Brexit. The 9.1% drop in the value of the Pound on Friday will make very few people happy. The UK's economy is now 6th in the world, behind France's. The Welsh who voted for Brexit now find out that the proposed...

England too good for Brexiters? You'll wake up tomorrow morning smelling coffee and croissants. it was but a bad dream.

@MattHall - I said nothing about time travel. By your post, I seems to me that you do not understand how particles acquire mass and charge.

@tillson - that was an hypothetic argument. The BBC have done an awful lot explaining the arguments on both sides, this time without worrying about neutrality. No need for repetition here, anyone interested would have heard these broadcasts already. I have maintained right at the beginning of...

too soon at the moment but give it a year to sink in. 52% of the UK waited a long time for this result, whatever their personal reason. The EU needs fundamental reform too. Our successive governments did not want a two speed Europe. That was a mistake.

I am pretty convinced that if a second referendum is organised next week or next months, half of the Brexiters will change their mind now. I still am attracted to the Norway model though.

the incompetent people are the MEPs, they are no better, and possibly worse, than our bunch in Westminster. With the exception of Dan Hannan, I don't like the Eurosceptic MEPs. The commission and it apparatus are composed of very clever people, either sent there by members governments or...

after they make a mint selling their houses.

Tories and labour need to have new leaders before fresh elections, possibly next May. A new government will have democratic mandate to negociate and organise a second referendum. This time, the questions will be 1) do you want to go back to the old EU 2) do you want the new arrangement. I would...

I believe that a narrow win for Brexit (or remain) is the right outcome because the UK needs a general reset, not just in our view of Europe but also because it's about time that we to stop austerity measures in the last 6 years and look forward into the future. This referendum has engaged large...

congrats on your reading of the FX last Thursday. I am not worried about the stock market. It will readjust istself quickly, you can already see that the losses were bigger elsewhere than in the UK. I am much more worried about the exchange rate. It is tangible to all of us, directly affecting...
