I heard that George Soros had "warned" England that if they vote leave it will have significant negative consequence for them. The thing is that if I give tell someone that their decision could have negative economic consequences its a warning, but when Soros does it it's a threat. I fully expect Sopros etc. to punish England hard for this. Meanwhile allot of pundits are voting as if the English just voted to erect a magic bubble around their county from which noting may enter or leave.

Market access.

I suspect there will be far less stupidity than blathered about. Too many business leaders will want to keep trade going.

Any blow against centralized power is great. Especially unelected centralized power

The British have voted to be British. And all over western Europe, elites are stunned. How, how could they want to be British? :o :lol:

Members of The EU have no barriers to entry to each others markets. Tarriffs, etc.

It's why Germany, the biggest exporter in Europe, and France, the biggest Market in Europe, are the big proponents of it. The problem is, it's more than a free trade agreement, it involves border control(IE there is none inside the EU, hence why guys like Highspeed can simply setup shop in Spain), and currency control(and therefore, economic planning)
