Can you define "reifiable" for me? I come across it a fair bit in clojure, but I still don't really understand what the term means.
> those businesses who can easily move does so.

hmm I'm struggling with this argument. So you have a trade deficit now - if UK companies (who presumably now contribute mostly to exports, not imports) move away, the trace deficit becomes larger, not smaller. Of course at some point this is really bad news for UK economy if it happens on a large scale, but it doesn't "erode the trade deficit". Maybe I understood you wrong.

Car manufacturers. You mainly mean Ford UK I assume (that's the only one I know of with a high volume)? Yes, I can see it hurting them. What I don't see is how this would be in the interest of the EU. Germany would be very much against it. France and Italy I'm not sure. The others (mostly non manufacturing countries without high stakes in the game) would most likely not want to have high taxes on one of the favourite brands.

> A lot of UK exports are "on behalf" of companies headquartered elsewhere that have used the UK as a beachhead into the EU.

Yes, I could imagine that, say for pharmaceutical companies, just not so much for the car market.
Fat chance of a "successful exit" ... so no worries!
Well so is the parent comment which is arguing essentially that things are fine today and so they will continue be fine in the future.

I'm simply suggesting that may not be the case since EU is now likely incentivized to disrupt the current status if only to set an example. Rather than disrupt physical trade that is linked to export oriented mainland jobs, financial sector may be a riper target as barriers to moving these jobs are low (essentially no capital investment), disrupting it can be used to create jobs on the mainland and can create a punitive effect on UK.
There is appetite now for closer ties within Ireland.

The EU train is leaving and governments need to make a decision whether they want to get on or stay off.
A very sad day for everyone in Europe. The EU is not only about trade regulations, but about a continent who had a not very peaceful history finally growing together. The freedom of movement for European citizens was not only "convenient" but in fact an important civil right. When you live or have a business in one state of the US, you are bound to local regulations of course, but being part of the US granted you a lot of fundamental rights and freedoms. In my eyes, the EU was very much about the same thing. It didn't matter in which part of the EU you lived or had your business. Being part of the EU granted you rights and equal access to the rest of Europe.

The EU in my eyes should aspire, to what the US has achieved already, being a large region, composed of quite a lot of different states, which are united, so that there are no arbitrary geographic borders limiting the freedom and the rights of the individual. This is not always easy, and it means, that the richer parts have to give to the poorer, but that is just basic humanity.

Especially I am sad for the young generation in the UK. A very large part (about 75%) voted to stay in Europe, and this future is taken from them. I would guess no small part of them will try to move to the remaining EU states.
I just watched his talk. He lost. He fought that he can avoid crack in his party and anti-eu members will be pleased if he make this move - referendum. Then he thought he will get what he wants from EU and then all citizens will vote remain. He was wrong on all this points. He is the biggest looser in this situation and he really knows it.
There is absolutely no way that the British parliament is not going to ratify this. The bigger question is how this can be implemented. This is unexplored territory, for all involved parties.
It's based on fiction, but the problem is that the fiction is created by politicians (who want to get credit for good news and blame the EU for bad news) and by the media (to get views, you need simple concepts and play on emotions). They are the PR machine.

Education is the only thing that can work against it, pray that your people value it over other things.
> The "value" of a worker depends on the demand for workers in said field. Accepting a million people with PhDs in particle physics

That is true. But then, make a uniform standard and measure everyone fairly (whether from European Union or India).

Look at Australia's highly-skilled visa (189). They have a "Skilled Occupations List" that consists of jobs that are in demand (including non-university technical occupations).

There is no reason why this can't be implemented in the UK.
This is in fact the issue.
That's just how referendums work: better to have 48% of unhappy people than 52% of unhappy people. You will never have 100% agreement anyway.

If you feel the need to resort to such hyperbolic examples to make your point, then you should really reevaluate whether or not you actually have a point worth making.
These numbers only stand if you consider the current state of the UK. Without Scotland, no mines, no oil, less fish. England in itself, independent from the EU, cannot stand the test of time.
Could it have predicted the Brexit vote?

Fewer dry goods shipped == less money for people shipping them == unhappy working people in England == these vote Leave.

(Ridiculous oversimplification, but the article is suggesting this kind of prediction could be meaningful.)

> The issue here is that polish workers are putting downwards price pressure on the construction industry.

It also puts downward price pressure on wages of blue-collar workers!

Immigration should depend on jobs that are in demand. If construction jobs are in demand, I am sure that there would be thousands of people (from non-EU countries) willing to satisfy the demand.
The Leave campaign is fooling themselves over their negotiation leverage.

The EU has some interest in cushioning the drop in trade, but it is a lot less sensitive to it, than the UK economy. There is no free trade without certain agreements, and these will at a very minimum include full freedom of movement for EU workers and enforcement of the full set of EU trade regulations.
Yes it is something that is quite interesting. There is a large disconnect between the majority of baby boomers and the majority of gen-x, y, etc. Baby Boomers are largely climate change deniers for instance.

Unfortunately, people who are making decisions right now aren't thinking long term. They are thinking about maintaining their own lifestyles despite saddling future generations with debt, climate problems, etc.
Yes, we will probably remain with the EU for long time coming. It will be a slow gradual process.
And he agreed to this to get UKIP votes in last year's election.

Admittedly the pressure was building from UKIP (and eurosceptic tories), but this is very unlikely to be in Britain's interests IMO.

Of course the UK must negotiate with all the other countries it wants to trade with as well, not just the EU. But look at TTIP, that kind of thing takes decades.

Surprising that a simple majority is enough to effect such a massive change, one would expect that a supermajority would be required to change the status quo.

It's a sad day for the UK's younger generation who voted overwhelmingly to stay, the older generation, who will depend for their bread and butter on the younger ones has just made their life a lot harder.

Everybody that's gleefully celebrating will be in an excellent position to review their take on this in a couple of years when the real impact will be a lot more clear than it is today.
"USA style" not without actual democracy, or you are going to see A LOT more EU-exits ! For example if TTIP imports ridiculous patent rules, I'm voting leave too. Right now the EU is sane, but I draw the line at stupidity.

Then German car sales will fall, and workers will be fired?
So basically you have money, you build a plant and you an produce goods with a marginal cost of 0 and just get rich because you had access to capital mostly by birth.

Hug, it will not help most citizens to access the production sphere.

It will not help fair competition, hence innovations. It is just about who has the most capital. Are we back in XVIIth century were lords owns the lands and the production?

Does it strikes no one that most of western so called democracy were built to fight exactly this situation and the social inequalities raising from this case?

Especially when all countries are trying to make it impossible for citizens to produce on their own in their private habitation.

Regulations are creating an economy where the poorest cannot neither sell their workforce by lack of demande, nor produce by themselves, nor offer services.

Well, the EU can't make such a deal without freedom of movement. All those countries the UK doesn't want EU immigrants out of? They aren't going to sign off on any deal without that.

Not too sure that I'm interpreting the diagram correclty, I'm just checking my assumptions:

1) What's the significance of circles? Do they represent voting districts or something like that?

2) What does the size of a circle represent? Is it the population of a district, perhaps on logarithmic scale?

3) Does the position on the x-axis represent how strongly that district was for remain or leave?

Of course, you could give the link to the original source too, Google Image Search shows nothing yet.

Members of EU benefit every-time they export something to a large market such as UK (e.g. Cars). Members of EU benefit each time they willingly import something from UK (e.g. Tea). Either ways if EU wants to protect interests of its members it makes sense to trade with UK just the way it did in past. Any "revenge" is likely to hurt EU members whether or not it hurts UK.

UK survived before EU and will continue to survive beyond EU too. In fact I think with better immigration policies and freedom from red tape of EU, UK will be better off economically. The very presence of EU in my opinion is against principles of democracy. People of England basically accepted restrictions coming from Brussels who were not voted for by them.

>In exchange for access to the common market, Britain had to accept an external tariff and, over time, a deluge of regulations from power-hungry Brussels. The former makes imports more expensive in Britain, while the latter makes British exports less competitive globally.

> Jean-Claude Juncker, the current president of the EU Commission, summed up the decision-making behind the introduction of the single currency thusly: "We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back." [1]

I saw a independent study about the possible global impacts of a Brexit and in the ranking there are more than 10 countries where the impact is more severe than that for a Germany and France.

Second the world exists out of more goods than champagne, cheese and cars... . I see you make a big deal about German cars but in the whole scheme of things that is really small. And I dare to ask if a lot of British people will be still able to buy those cars to begin with, as I see how the pound is falling fast.

And third you are dealing with the EU that exists out more countries than Germany and France. Yes, because of their size they have a big position but please let stop that intellectual dishonest narrative that all other countries are living under some-kind of French-German dictatorship where they don't have any saying.
For dynamically typed languages, this distinction is less pronounced, but in general, the caller assumes less about the callee (i.e. you can send any message to any object).

> The freedom of movement for European citizens

UK was not part of Schengen. As such, it was always more difficult to go to/from the UK. Foreigners having a Schengen visa (work permit) still need an expensive Visa to go to UK.

Then there's the pound instead of having the Euro.

What was more easy is _permanently_ moving from UK to e.g. Spain (which happens a lot). Finding work in another EU country and being able to live there without too much hassle.
peace, one big market, free movement of people did provide some value.
Honestly you and the old people voted are small-minded parochial idiots. I'm leaving this dead country as soon as I can
> Instead of just yelling bigot/racist/etc.

For what it's worth, I've been a registered Democrat my entire adult life. I don't see that happening, at least not large-scale, I think that much has been made clear. I don't think that many people realize that, to many Trump supporters and swing voters, they are essentially proving his point for him. They'll have no one to blame but themselves if he wins.

US: Same language, same culture, directly voted government and Senate that answers to the people. A standard democracy on both state and federal levels.

EU: A mix of countries that don't share the language or the culture. Legislative body is not voted (Comission: bureaucrats in the literal sense of the word). The little bit of directly-voted part, European Parliament, has only limited power and is out of sight of the voters. There's no oversight, most people don't even have a chance to know what's cooking until it's the law and is too late to do anything about it.

US-like federation of EU is not possibly for the lack of common language alone. Without it, there's no oversight. Without oversight, you get the current EU.
There certainly is conflict.

The same economic theories that lead to the conclusion that low tariffs are good place the same importance on the free exchange of goods as the free exchange of labour. The treaty of Rome is the governing treaty in the EU in this respect and it has provisions on both. Since it is precisely the free exchange of labour that the UK wants to eliminate, they will need to violate the treaty and lose the free exchange of goods. How this will affect the application in the UK of existing trade agreements between external countries and the EU is another question. Since the bureaucratic process of bringing goods to the UK will be different than bringing it to the EU, foreign countries will likely take the stance that those trade agreements no longer apply to the UK.
With Germany you always have to take the re-unification into account. The D-Mark wasn't bad before 1989 and the lift of the economy may as well being the East doing better rather than Euro effects.
This is because in Switzerland there have always been referendums. That really makes a difference on how people see their laws and regulations. In Switzerland, people say 'We have decided to have law X or regulation Y'. In Germany people say 'They have decided', meaning the government.

This growing distance between the people and the government is a fertile breeding ground for populists. And the distance is the biggest between the people and the government of the EU.

>Reality will be a lot scarier.

Reality is boring most of the time. It will be fine in the end. The UK isn't going to sink into the sea or become the North Korea of Europe. The EU won't fall apart, it might need a little adjustment, and one or two additional countries will consider leaving, depending on the kind of deals that the UK can get.

I don't expect anything fantastically interesting to happen. The rest of 2016 will be a little bumping as everyone adjusts and then that's it.

I think that even without the UK (and Ireland), the EU would still use English as official language. For better or worse, English is a useful method of communication, even between lets say Spanish and Polish people.
Exactly; hence if you were to say it'd be unfortunate for you to have to go back to Linux, I wouldn't say you were prejudiced either, since you know from personal experience.
You do under stand that those 3/4 and 2/3 representatives can all be elected with 51% of the vote right?

So if a hot upstart party filled both houses of the Congress with 51% win margins per representative, they can then easily pass a constitutional amendment.
> So Germany will risk 1\5 of German car workers because it wants to send a message?

Let's be clear: it's the UK that felt obliged to send a message.

The rest of Europe's countries does not have delusions of grandeur and feel disenfranchised by foreign workers making minimum wage.

1. Laws are only proposed by EC, not the Parliament (as in parliamentary democracies).
2. EP is only able to vote against them and ammend them.
3. A "no" vote by EP doesn't mean anything. If the Council (i.e. the governments, which in parliamentary democracies don't have the power to make new law) disagrees, a compromise must be seeked.
4. Making a "no" stick in EP requires more than just a majority. Happened once (with the software patents).

How is that democratic?

That's false, Schengen only regulates border checks, EU citizens had the same right to move to the UK as UK citizens moving to a Schengen area country.
That explains the result of the referendum, not the agreeing to it in the first place.
The US did not magic itself into existence as a united state. It began in common purpose with a shared, very strong, external enemy. It then assigned itself a shared dream of settling the content. And, crucially, it already had a shared cultural identity, shared language, and shared religion when it began.

The EU does not have a common enemy to force it together. It does not have a shared language, or culture, or identity. Its dream, while noble, does not speak to ordinary people. And it is pretty damned incompetent at what duties it has assigned itself.

The prospect of a United States of Europe was extremely remote even before today. It's dead, now.
