So we are leaving..............

Was supposed to quote:
"The EU will do whatever it takes to punish the UK. They can't allow a successful Brexit or other nations will follow"

I'm not really sure what this even means?

It means that the EU will try to punish the UK for leaving, and will try to deny them the ability to rejoin the EU.
He's saying the EU is better off without the UK, and they can go suck eggs.

Yep. The EU has no choice not matter how much they need the UK. They have to pretend like they don't.

You know, I know so little about this. I think I'm going to read up on it. I didn't really understand why there was a EU to begin with and my uneducated point of view had me a bit worried about it.

not even rejoining the EU, it means we won't be able to stay with the single-market - that is an agreement between the EU countries and a few outside countries that never joined the EU - where basically they can trade between themselves without having to pay tax, but get better rates and preferential treatment etc...part of the Leave campain's rhetoric was that we could still be a part of that...

Because they didn't want there to be a reason to have anymore massive wars. They wanted peace and unity. Since the EU was formed, there has been 0 conflict between any of the member states...the longest period of peace in the region for hundreds of years or longer... It has so many positives to its member states, the European Convention of Human Rights and the open market agreement, freedom of movement and many more

OK, so before I form any opinions, why would Britain leave? They don't strike me as war mongers. LOL

You can find more online rather than me typing it all out, but one thing that really made me angry as an example is this (from a while ago, but still):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29754168
^ £1.7 Billion Bill in 2014 from the EU. Most other countries got payment to them, including Germany who have a better economy. Cameron said he wouldn't pay, but, oh look - he paid:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3237073/Cameron-Osborne-quietly-pay-1-7BILLION-bill-Brussels-dismisses-totally-unacceptable.htmlQuite how Greece, who were totally up **** creek got a £70m bill to pay, I don't know. Sure EU, it makes sense to hit a country that is totally screwed already with a bill. That makes LOADS of sense. Italy too that are in trouble were billed £268m. Its like we were fined for doing well and had to help the rest! Do better yourself rather than us. This time we cant help you as we are gone soon.
Just do your own research about the different issues.

Interesting. I was also reading France may look for a vote to leave if the elections next year go a certain way. The Dutch too.
Like I said, trying not to form the opinion just yet but it seems like the EU is crumbing and it's the big boys wanting to leave.

The EU never stabilized. TO much national politics and not enough standardization.

Because the Leave leaders ran a campaign of fear, played on peoples xenophobia and insecurities, promised the world, and have already said "well actually...we didn't mean it"...
And some people STILL believe all the figures that were quoted without checking for the facts.
