Let's hope Nissan is not going to pull out in the coming years (supply lines, export issues).

But should that that happen, what would those people who voted for leave in Sunderland make of it? Would cognitive dissonance kick in and the blame again be placed on the EU or are they going to call for the head of Boris Johnson and Farage?
And the Southams.
It would be electoral suicide for a government not to follow through with this though.
If the UK ceases to exist I wonder if England would be permitted to rejoin the EU at some point?

I genuinely do not understand how you can tolerate living like that - youtube channels telling people how to stop their house being robbed ("It works! My house is the only one that wasn't in the whole neighbourhood! Woo!")
Bostonians generally don't believe in exceptionalism. Ozarkians tend to, but I know liberal citizen-of-the-world people from, and actually residing in, the Ozarks.

Anyway, exceptionalism isn't really a common bond.
The irony is that outside the EU, the UK will probably become much more neoliberal.
I think it won't be, the margins are too close, only 2% or so. so basically you are ignoring 48% of the people over 52% of the people... if it was something like 30/70 that would be suicide
Agreed we tend to reason from the perspective that we are in and see all things thru that lens, but antebellum America was a very different place from where we are at today. At the onset of the war and even before with the nullification crisis even antebellum America was very different than early post revolution America.

Federalization, centralization and bureaucracy are the natural order of empires and America has been on a slow roll towards them since at least the early 1800's and the barons. Honestly probably since it's inception, Hamilton was a devout federalist and Modern America would be a realization of his dream. I think Jefferson and Franklin would be horrified to say the least.

With all that said, it always seemed to me that the EU wanted to be America 2.0 and modeled the empire and not the early confederation that got us here. America used to look like a coalition of distinct states where basic rights (albeit for only some at times), where guaranteed so that a citizen has a host of options to find a representative government. More and more the states look like cookie cutter copies of each other and more and more legislation gets pushed to the federal level because there is little distinction between them. This makes for an efficient business environment but it comes at the cost of a representative government for the people. From the outside it seemed to me that the EU tried to fast track this homogenization in the interest of being a competitive business environment.

In my view the EU took it one step further and fully embraced unrepresentative bureaucracies and set up, for the better part, a technocracy. The people of Britain felt that they had no reach into these un-elected representatives and therefore made the choice to exit as it was the only ripcord they had.
Canada and Latin/South America have been fighting the same fight for ages. Doesn't work. "Europe" = EU, "America" = US. Sometimes even "Africa" = South Africa (depending on the topic). It's a large enough territory and it has the name of the continent in its official name. Good luck trying to correct people.
In the last 100 years yes, there is no debate on this. However, since the mid-80s / 90s, the middle class has been completely crushed to a no return point (in most developed countries, not only the UK) and pretending the system is still working is at best dishonest. We are not even in a financial crisis right now but the system never recovered at all from 2008, in almost 10 years now. I can only guess what will happen on the next crisis... Having a jobless society where all the stability and balance of power is based on jobs is obviously not working very well at the moment.
Yes. I am saying that, and that if you don't do it, others will kill you. And if you don't believe me, there you have the current religious terrorism (or warfare) in Europe. Does it ring a bell? It's not like it hasn't happened thousands of times throughout history.
"the EU" can speak only in treaties, and so has not spoken yet.

But yes, multiple people connected with the EU government have been making statements to this effect: out means out. It is not in the EU's interest to give the UK a more favourable deal than it had before, because that signals to other member countries that leaving has financial benefits.
I agree on the immigration issue, but i don't see the major role on brexit.
For those who want a little context:

- The UK contributes, but also receives from the EU. The net is a 7 billion pound a year (136m, not 350m, a week) contribution to the EU.

Blatant lie there.

- Leave camp has consistently said the money will go to the NHS. Hours after the campaign, the most prominent leader of the leave camp has said this was a mistake and is not actually the case. Anyone who isn't naive recognises this is a deliberate lie, if you'd have asked him 24 hours ago he'd have said it goes to the NHS, nothing changed since then accept the fact people can't vote anymore, so it makes no sense to keep lying.

- The aforementioned 7 billion is on an economy of 1.85 trillion pounds, or 0.38% of GDP. Now recognise that 50% of the UK's exports go towards the EU.

The notion that the economic benefit of saving this 0.38% in contributions and losing prime access to the world's biggest market is a good economic deal is silly. The net benefit of contributions and membership is positive, so the UK isn't losing money or sending money because of its membership, let alone anywhere near 350m a week.

Go kit – A toolkit for microservices
I think a better way to come at this is to assume that on average, most people have given this decision a reasonable amount of thought, young people as well as old people. The debates have been going on for months, and pros and cons have been discussed at great length.

Further, I don't think it's fair to underestimate the experience and historic perspective old people have, that young people don't. After all, many of the older people who voted yesterday where around before the EU came about, and are able to factor in that extra information, plus their historic perspective in their decision, which, by definition, makes for a more informed decision.

You are right that older people tend to be more conservative, but you yourself may end up being more conservative when you are 90, vs. how conservative you are today, and you may only realize the reasons for it once it happens, and perhaps you will think those are actually quite good reasons, who knows.

The bottom line is that if you just attribute the older population's decision to "bad taste" and "shortsightedness", you may not realize the true reason behind their decision, which diminishes your ability to understand and influence others.
FWIW you don't, the level of debt some people have is staggering.
Amazon is making its system international, i.e. multiple languages :)
that's nonsense. 1) the German debt post WWI was imposed upon it. The Greek debt was taken on by the country itself. 2) News flash: Austerity only hurts the poor when the political elite choose to cut social programs instead of giving their cronies a haircut. But you know, it's easier to hold the poor hostage. 3) A huge part of the reason why greece can't pay its obligations is because their 1% thinks paying taxes is a joke. 4) Germany's "clever" out of the Treaty of Versailles was to devalue the currency and pay back in cheaper nominal payments. Greece can't do that because while the local central banks can do some easing shenanigans, they're still part of the eurozone and so the effects will be diluted because you can be damned sure that Germany and France won't play Greece's game in that matter.

So, in short: Nothing at all like the interbellum.

>The PR outfall of that debacle is probably what pushed the Brits to vote for exit.

But yes, the Brits are very wise to exit, because (especially if they enter the eurozone, which is clearly the next step in ever closer union) they are definitely the "next germany". And that might even happen without joining the eurozone, by fiat.

Sorry, but you are a foreigner. Your not a British citizen. In Australia we have people who are Permanent Residents. They have rights to work in Australia, but they are not citizens. They don't get to vote in elections.

It appears to me that as an EU Citizen in Britain you are the equivalent of a PR.

I'm not sure why you feel that the franchise should be further extended to cover people who work in the UK, but are not citizens.

The EU is not a political union. It is an economic union. This has been the problem from the start. People want it both ways when it suits them.
I'm talking about the British citizens, no doubt free movement is great for the EU migrants because Britain is such a great country, but the mass influx of low skilled labour brings down wages and quality of life.

Not sure about Ethiopia, but all other areas you mention were part of the Eastern Roman Empire at that time. Not disputing your claim though, it was a multi-cultural movement.

We live in a world where a few percent GDP drop is a recession. It does not mean _everyone_ suddenly lacks money to buy a plane ticket. But when a few percent means tens of millions of people, I don't really think we should base our (economic and other kind of) policies on some dude's Facebook stream.

There are working people who will just get laid off, because they have been hired to - let's say - coordinate a "shared service center" enlargement, but now that won't happen, because the company will instead freeze every expansive project in the UK due to the suddenly increased uncertainty, and that guy (gal) will probably won't go on holiday, though he (she) will have a lot of free time to like the holiday posts of others on Facebook.

Follow through with what though? With removing "red tape", with cutting immigration, with not being part of a European Superstate? The text of the vote was about being a member of the EU, but you'd need to discern why people actually voted that way to keep them happy, as, for example, following the Norway model would be out of the EU (at least in name), but still have uncapped immigration, the requirement to follow lots of EU regulation, paying money to the EU, et..

Still trying to understand how austerity can still mean increasing spending. Looking at their expenditures they peaked in 2009 at 51.5% and dropped to lower forties but much of that has been because the economy finally started recovering faster than the government could spend money mostly because of pressure on politicians not to.

However the key here is, they never spent less than the year before, simply reduced the amount they increased spending. Increasing spending is not austerity
Yes, there are a lot of parallels there.
Python has lots of weird operators.

List/dict comprehension, list slicing, * and in arguments. Comma for tuples (which make sense to me, but add a lot of magic, especially since, in my experience, beginners often assume that the parentheses are what make tuples). There's many more examples, but those are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

Reading actual production Python code is not any easier than many other languages and certainly far from "executable pseudocode"

The Monarchy could technically override our law, but never do. The house of lords can block legislation for up to a year, but only three times, and legislation can be pushed through with a simple commons majority.

Brussels however, makes up to 60% of our laws (It depends who you ask), and they override ours. We can't control our borders while in the EU, we get forced frustrating legislation on us, things like inferior low energy bulbs, which might be good for the environment but are nowhere near as good as traditional ones, and we can't vote out the people who make our laws when we don't like them.

Now we can.
What Markets Said About #Brexit
Without taking gender into account, the word relentlessness sounds more like a negative trait than a positive one. They're someone who's unwilling to deviate from their plan of action, because their plan is to just head straight for the goal.

I'd go with dauntlessness, someone who's dauntless won't let an obstacle stop them, but will go around it instead of through it.

12 Dark Secrets of Motivation You Need to Know
One can be for free movement, free trade, peace and 'growing together' without being Pro-EU.

The EU is not a abstract entity that only lives of ideas. Its a concrete implementation of these ideas (and many others). This implementation I judge to be deficient. The issues are to many to list here, but I just wanted to state the principe.

Europe can achieve most of the things you want without the EU. Switzerland has many of those things with the EU states. You can easily have all these contracts as bilateral contracts that everybody signs. Then you can do the joining and leaving independently, creating much better incentives for both the people who create the contracts as for the participants in the contract.

Their are already tons of things like that, and their could be more. Look at ESA for example.

> This is not always easy, and it means, that the richer parts have to give to the poorer, but that is just basic humanity.

You totally falsely imply that the richer part "HAVE TO" to give the poorer parts money to achieve these goals. That is totally false. Only with a currency their is a real issue and that is solvable even if you want a common currency without massive redistribution.

What you are doing is deceptive, you are making a operational argument for a issue that relates to moral. If we choice this kind of redistribution, we should do it based on MORAL properties and not operational issues.
It's not that surprising. Recent developments (like globalisation) have been really bad for the working class, and a growing level in inequality and rising housing prices and what not means that populist movements and their 'simple' answers to complex problems are becoming more attractive.

And the media too. By attacking people for their views, they basically gave these populist movements ammunition and caused their supporters (and much of the public) to see a divide between an elite and the working man.

Things will probably get far worse in the future because of all this...

You're confusing economic theory with reality. There were already plenty of conflicts in many sectors (eg fishing) and now each EU country that think they can gain something in any sensitive sector by having tariffs on UK products will push in that direction.

It's not enough to have things in common. The point the previous post make is that it requires a common enemy to forge unification as strong as the US and even here there are talks about some states wanting to go independent from time to time.

Without this external factor it's hard to find something to really feel the same about.
I'm Australian, but I'm still not sure a 50/50 split on something so important is right. At least here in Australia you need a 50% total and a 50% of states. I don't think the extra requirement of locality would have prevented the leave in the UK though - it seems only London and Scotland really led the way for the stay vote.

> I suspect the result today was skewed by the big swing towards the 'Remain' vote following the assassination of Jo Cox

That's kind of what I'm getting at. With a vote so close it's almost a decision that could change day to day, or depending upon the weather. For a vote that can only happen every decade or three I don't think 50% is a high enough bar for change.

> So he resigns, but he was elected as a representative in the lower house. That means he won't be PM anymore, and he goes back to being a member of the lower house?

Yep.

> Does the house pick one of its own members for the job, or does the majority party get to pick anybody at all that they want to be PM?

In most countries (the UK included) the majority party will pick one of their MPs. Australia once had a PM die in office (Harold Holt) and have a person in the Senate picked as the replacement, so the replacement ran in the byelection for the previous PM's seat.

> Do PMs that leave go back to being house members? Seems like that would be kinda weird.

Yeah, but they've also been house members the whole time they were PM, so it's not that wierd.
But that has nothing to do with the EU! It's a global trend, completely orthogonal, and will manifest itself even stronger in a Britain outside of the EU! This is the tragedy about this whole ordeal - it's those that have voted 'leave' with the most conviction that will be hit hardest by the consequences, because they can not discern macro trends that are and are not caused and/or influenced by the Parliament and Commission.
That would be some pretty tough negotiations. Probably better for England to apply to become a territory of the US.

What happens when Britain leaves the EU
You don't rule your way out of not adding value. If you have millions of people jobless, that's a problem with or without EU, with or without capitalism. And no, basic income is not a solution. First, there is no money to maintain millions of people that do nothing. Second, it creates very perverse incentives, especially if those people vote. Hint: they will vote politicians that promise to increase basic income, even if that means destroying the part of the country that produces value (if you want to see an example of this scenario, look at Italy and its pension system which is a sort of basic income for certain privileged classes).
That is my greatest fear for the far future. That Europe starts on a path that will lead to wars within a few decade.

Right now the European economic powerhouses are strong enough to thouroughly destroy the continent (winners and loosers alike) and probably a good deal of the worldwide economy.

Whatever happens that fear must not become a reality.
Isn't the ECHR is distinct from the EU, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think leaving the EU changes the UK's relationship with the ECHR (Iceland and Switzerland and Norway, which are not in the EU are in the ECHR).
Grade inflation is known for a long time and really bad for students. According my teachers, when they graduated (40 years ago) the best student of my college scored 14/20. When I graduated, the top student scored 18/20. The real problem is that public intitutions hire based on college scores so younger grads have an unfair advantage.

To solve grade inflation a bell curve would work: best tests would grade A+, next ones would grade A and sucessively independently of scores itself. You would have always the same relative amount of each grade scale along the years.
