The Leave campaign was very contradictory on this point. They wanted to prevent EU citizens from freely moving to the UK, but they also claimed they could still get access to the common market like Norway or Switzerland. But you can't. They come together.

And if they did decide to get both, they'd end up fairly close to the current situation, but without a vote in EU matters. It's possible the Leave campaign may have mislead the voters on this point.
> I don't see why people are thinking businesses would move.

Because of all the fear-mongering and threats from the EU.

Think about it, the UK could keep all policies exactly as they are right now, but the EU has threatened to "punish" them because they are not part of the group any more.

I do not think the UK is going to restrict movement of skilled immigrants.

This will put the EU in the unenviable position of saying to the UK, "We are not going to do business with you because you will not accept our unskilled immigrants!"

The market panic is just investor withdrawal until they can see what is going to happen. As soon as the uncertainty passes, and it is obvious that the UK isn't going to rock the boat with "Trump-like" initiatives, the money will come right back.
That's interesting. I am in a similar situation as you. But I have been living in the UK a lot longer (since 2005, so 11 years). I'm 20 years old, so I have now been living in the UK for a much longer proportion of my life than in any other country. It's annoying that I don't get to vote in something as important as this.

I'm sure there are plenty of British citizens who are expats living all over Europe, and despite the possibility that they have been living outside the UK for a large proportion of their life they are still eligible to vote. Perhaps I am wrong and there is some rule against this, so please do correct me if that is the case. But if it's not, then how is this fair? Why do they get a say in the decisions a country is making without being a resident of that country?

I will most certainly be attempting to apply for citizenship. Unfortunately the prospect of being rejected, for something which will quite likely be very random and illogical (likely designed to catch as many people out as possible), makes me worried. From the (admittedly quick) research that I have performed to date, it seems that just the act of applying requires a significant sum of money (around a £1000?). If my application gets rejected, then will that money essentially be gone?

On top of all that, I am still a student, it's not easy to part with £1000 under these circumstances.
Message passing implies one way broadcast. Think GOTO. HTTP is a request / reply protocol, i.e. a function call. Map / Reduce is an implementation device for SQL-like collection-based processing, modern Map / Reduce systems [Google's Flume / Dataflow] offer directly the collection API, using Map / Reduce as an implementation detail. FRP is a device for adding a collection API on top of streams of events. Collection APIs are conceptually function calls over collections [duh].

Just because your compiler uses GOTO / messaging behind the scenes to implement function calls, it doesn't follow that GOTO / messaging is the right API level for designing applications. We know this since 1968.
This is good for the UK but bad for Europe, but y'all won't fully understand this move unless you edge into conspiracy theory territory. Allow me to take you there for a moment.

The supranational oligarchy is mostly concentrated in a few key places in the world, Wall Street, City of London, Vatican City, DC, Switzerland, etc. The supranational oligarchy the most in control though according to my estimations is City of London. I analyze from an American perspective and Wall Street and DC seem to have rolled over for them on most occasions.

That being said, the true goal of the oligarchy is a collectivist global government model. The problem is the collectivist model hurts the countries that join it while propping up their oligarchy.

I predicted months ago UK would leave because they are the ones who pushed the EU onto the Europeans in the first place, (keeping the pound was a dead giveaway), and now I simply think they are aiming to maintain local order and prosperity at a higher level than Europe so as to keep their people placated somewhat.

Next up, massive restrictions on Immigration in the UK.

Recommended reader for background, anything by Carroll Quigley.
I don't agree that free movement of goods and people are necessarily inseparable but I completely agree that this is the line in the sand that the EU won't cross under any circumstances.

The flip side is that it's the main reason for the exit vote so I can't see how we could join EFTA, for example.
I guess having passports is a good starter requirement for immigrants
Yes but compared to the size of their economies - let's keep it simple by looking at the GDP - the UK would be hurt disproportionately more. The UK GDP is ~$2.5 trillion, the EU GDP (sans UK) is ~12 trillion.
Yes. Every divorce here in germany is basically love and flowers and based on constructive respect. Sure.

We do not actively "sacrifice" them. They voted for themselves to go out, they believe it's better to them. Okay. But why should the EU not do what it can the make the best of the situation? Do not answer with european spirit, the vote was against this, for the hope of a little better financial situation (aka: selfishness).

I really support everyone who needs help whenever I can, but I can't stand this behaviour, expecting mercy for their own selfishness. And as it seems, we have more important problems where real lifes are on stake, syrian immigrants for example.
> What caused the most recent bout of grade inflation? Some point to the rise in tuition—and educational debt...

One of the largest reasons for skyrocketing tuition is the US government's guaranteed student loans. And those loans are very difficult to discharge by declaring bankruptcy, which makes the loans less risky to the schools. This is the farthest thing from free market capitalism.

That sounds like an idea, alright, but the swing issue (despite the focus of the press on UKIP, etc.) was very probably the EU Tobacco Products Directive and the impact that had on the UK's ability to set its own public health agenda based on actual science and harm reduction. Xenophobes and jingoists will always be there, and their numbers will wax and wane by times, but if you give millions of people a single, huge, seemingly time-critical issue on which to base a vote, they'll vote the single issue.

Calling a method on an object is a kind of message passing - please take those arguments here, do your thing with them and send me back whatever return value you calculated.

Well, Poland was inspired to adopt a democratic constitution in 1791 and the speed with which its neighbors invaded probably shows that they cared about the spread of democracy too in a more negative way. But yes, that wasn't as significant as the French Revolution.
For now. What are you going to do if you get unlucky and lose your middle class status?
Well, what will happen in the UK in the next couple of weeks/months/years might just be enough to show by example what the good bits of being a part of the EU are.

The big mistake the brexit voters made is that they thought that the UK as it was before the EU would have been a better place to be in today if the EU had never happened. Contrary to their belief the sum is a lot more than the parts but explaining that to the electorate is a challenge that modern politics (soundbites and tweets) is badly equipped to deal with.

Much easier to push the emotional buttons of xenophobia and economic malaise due to 'others'.
the UK is not part of the Euro, but by continuing to be in the EU, they would have been shoehorned in, and it would have been more inevitable.

I see absolutely no evidence of that. There has been no indication, and recent EU negotiations indicate, that there was negligible chance of the UK ever joining the Euro.

What web framework is this on?
Maybe they're reluctant to pick "the" how, too soon.

If you're in a field from the early days, you probably have more of a pioneer or explorer mentality. Later come settlers, who pick areas for utility. Even later come residents, born and raised there, most of whom don't really question what is given.

This probably seems weird and frustrating to the explorers -- why settle so soon? Yes it seems comfortable and convenient, here, but there is so much left to explore.

I've been programming professionally for 15 years, I have been doing serious React/Redux for the past 6 months. I am far from considering me an expert "Reactor", or even an expert programmer for that matter. I wouldn't honestly be able to "express how much better I am than everyone else", because that is simply not true. And if anyone told me how better they are than anybody else, I'd probably see this as a big red flag.

Now, this guy began learning code 6 months ago and is better than anyone else? Wow. Either a) he is much more intelligent and talented than I am (this is not sarcastic, it is entirely possible) or b) we have a case of the Dunning–Kruger effect.
> I personally think you should be able to vote on an issue in proportion to how much you care about it

You already are. Care enough and you can join grass roots movements who are trying to influence the population to vote a certain way. Afaik, the Brexiters were a grass root campaign and they managed to multiply their votes by convincing the public to vote to leave.
52% of 70% of the voting population said "No".

It goes both ways. New trade barriers will be bad for the UK and for the EU. Worse for the UK of course, because it's smaller. It's a larger percentage of UK trade than it is for the EU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Agricultural_Policy

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the agricultural policy of the European Union. It implements a system of agricultural subsidies and other programmes.
It has been repeatedly criticised for its cost (€57.8 billion in 2014)[1] and its environmental and humanitarian effects, including raising food prices and stalling development in poorer countries by preventing them from exporting food to the EU.
Really? We just decided to not be part of the EU and now you expect them to treat us with reverence? We just told them that their club was shit so now they are saying “if the club is shit you won't want all these things the club provides and we will now concentrate on looking after out club members at your expense“.

The loss to our economy is going to go some where, manufacturing jobs lost in Sunderland will go to Greece or Lithuania where they will welcome the employment, the same will happen to service industry too. The EU has a responsibility to its member states not to us anymore.

> Out of interest why do you suggest that if the banks move they wouldn't move to Dublin?

Because some have been there and it almost took out the Irish economy. They, the Irish, won't allow that to happen again any time soon. The fact is that the Irish economy is quite small and banks' balance sheets are quite big.

Realistically, only Germany, France and maybe Italy would be big enough to take a significant chunk of the UK banking sector.

They understand the basics but don't understand the impact of Brexit.
Yes, and the same people who thought that dearly hoped the Senate would transform into a hereditary aristocracy with life-long terms and the Presidency would become a hereditary monarchy because of the same fears.

I don't think citing that line of thinking (by Hamilton and Adams and the others) says a whole lot. It is, perhaps, ironic, that this line of thought was driven by the belief the British system of government was the best in the world. (Incidentally, during that time period, the 'three branches of government' were considered to be the House, Senate, and Presidency, not the legislative, judicial, and executive.)
I agree the new government in Poland is an embarrassment.

But you are mistaken in blaming the electorate. The "misinformation, fear campaign, memes..." have always been around. The primary reason people voted out the previous bunch is corruption and tunneling of the wealth created to a narrow group of people (a problem not limited to Poland only)

For whatever it's worth, as a European who has some reservations about the EU, even if it brings many good things too.

The need to keep member states in the union by threats would be a complete joke, and I would rather just call it a day.

This is the reason why I think losing the UK may not be all that bad for the EU. The UK got a very sweet deal, and was very obstructionist in return. Leaving and getting a reasonable deal outside the EU may be better for the EU, and maybe the UK will be happier there.

I think vindictive sanctions or refusing new trade deals with the UK would be stupid, childish and harmful for the EU. I hope they work together on a reasonable and fair deal. And then maybe the EU can move forward towards a closer union, and maybe also address some of the problems with the EU, because it's hardly perfect.

I agree. At minimum, these kind of decisions should require 50% of all eligible voters to to agree, not only 50% of those who cast their votes, or alternatively 2/3rds of the cast votes. Also, this kind of decision could require some kind of multi part vote. I wonder, how the results were, if they had to cast a vote again in a few days.

Here in Germany, we have a strict representative democracy. But we have regional elections often enough, that the government gets to feel, if voters no longer agree with it. So it is a balance between short term popularity a long term considerations.

You tried to compare the US to Europe impying that US states are functionally equivalent to countries of Europe, sharing only currency but differing in laws and society (and, weird example you gave, the people they hate). Cultural differences in the US are largely regional, usually having little to do with the borders of a given state. The federal government is made up of officials elected and appointed from all states and is governing over all of the US. Laws enacted by Congress aren't then approved or enforced by state legislatures, they are decided by those elected to the national legislative body by all citizens of the US. So yes, this is a country where matters are largely decided at the federal level. You overestimate the influence and power of state (and local) governments.
