What would Britain look like post-Brexit? Here are four possibilities.
By Griff Witte June 15
When Britons go to the polls on June 23, they will have the opportunity to jettison their country’s membership in the European Union — an outcome popularly known as Brexit.
But the ballot won’t say anything about what should replace E.U. membership. That will be up to negotiators — representing Britain on one side and the governments of the 27 other E.U. member nations on the other — who will spend the next two years hammering out the terms of divorce if Britain votes to leave.
Pro-Brexit campaigners have said that Britain will continue to swap goods and services with E.U. nations; those imports and exports now make up about half the country’s trade volume. Brexit advocates also say that Britain will be free from stultifying Brussels bureaucracy once it leaves the E.U.
But how will that actually work? And what are the chances that Britain’s post-Brexit reality will match the rhetoric of those advocating for “out”? Those arguing for “in” say Brexit would be a leap in the dark, with leading economists warning of dire consequences.

Interesting! Most recent polling shows In up several points over Out. It's going to be a nail-biter, I think!Yes I believe it is going to be very close.
I was just thinking that the EU Elites will do anything to not have Brexit win tomorrow.
Ok.....
Time for another update.
Since the vote there has been a steep rise in nationalistic abuse aimed at anyone that is foreign and not white. This is a worrisome trend that has deep implications.
Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party made a completely embarrassing speech in the EU Parliament
The two prime political parties are in absolute turmoil. I do not see this as showing a good future.
The country is split and While there is not fighting, it resembles the balkinisation fears of some.
I made the comment to a friend that it was interesting to be an observer to a nation that commits suicide. They of course thought that the comment was to strong.
What is becoming clear is the many of the talking heads that champagned for to brexit vote only did so for political expediency. They did not believe it would go through with the hope of winning the votes of disgruntled citizens when it did not turn their way. Now that the vote went their way. They have been completely silent or ineffectual.
When asked about their plan for the transition, they have no answers.
So in reality there was and is no plan.
Interesting times here.
I am forming a new group - CAT! Constitutionalists Against Trump. :troutSlap:
Personally, while I hope for the best, I expect to be living with a lot of unpleasantness in the next 4 to 8 years.
@ Sledge: Another option is to vote but leave the Presidential portion of the ballot empty. ;)

JM, Isn't that the same as number 3? Just saying. :)
...What people fail to realize is that your not voting for Trump your voting on the next three Supreme Court Justices. If the Republicans lose it will be forty years before we will have a chance to get our freedom back...
vote (for Trump while holding my nose) for the first time in my life.
Don't forget the October Surprise. Terrorist attack or EMP or such and elections are postponed by obummer, Bill of Rights suspended, guns confiscated among other things.

All due respect, but puh-lease. I thought Bush Jr would do the same and it never happened. It'd take more than one attack to suspend elections. Also, do you guys really want a Judge Omarosa? At least Hillary will go with normal people with actual skills. Drumpf will likely people the government with even bigger idiots than typically inhabit the political class.
Don't worry about us. We will be just fine.
With the fall in the £ my Army retirement payment was significantly larger this month and should be even more at the end of this month.
I love profiting from disasters. :-)

So with that favorable to you exchange rate change has there been any effect on prices of food, gasoline and other necessities? If gas is a necessity in GB.There has been small bit of inflation. Yet nothing significant yet.
