As an American who is completely ignorant of all this, can someone explain to me the negative affects? A bulletpoint list would suffice.

I have been keeping up with it the past week or so,but I think a poster from the United Kingdom is best to explain. I personally see it effecting the stock market and U.S. relations with the different parts of the U.K. changing and others. It is probably best that the U.K. make a bold statement like this. Maybe this can help explain the pros and cons.

Hilary Clinton is pretty much a lock for the next president, anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

Right now, Hilary's the default option. That doesn't make her a lock. It's a cornelian dilemma.

The problem with the European Union is not the Union itself but European federalism. 70% or so of each state member's laws come from Brussels, which is stupid. Each country has its own context and certain policies might not work so well for them like they do in others.
The Euro comes in handy when travelling but everything got twice more expensive after it became the currency of several EU countries. Countries like Switzerland and Norway are lucky in the sense that they can be economically free enough to not need to join the EU. |

How did this turn into a Trump discussion?
And I don't see why you Americans are so afraid of the possibility of Trump winning. It's not like he'll become a God Emperor or anything. Opposition and even his advisers and people from his own party will veto his **** and such. Not to mention a lot that he says is mere populism. Wars out there? All American presidents invade sand countries and steal their oil. So don't act like Trump doing that would be any different. |

Anyway, lots of petitions, and one for London to leave England is interesting. |

It seems that no one talks about his economic, educational, etc policies. Just about his hatred for Mexican illegals and Islam. |

In before the lock!
If I didn't know and love so many people in the UK I would probably be morbidly curious at watching the further downward spiral of what was once the greatest empire the world has ever known. Just seeing how quickly the Pound dropped in value overnight is...staggering. This is not going to end well for anyone, except maybe Scotland. Possibly Ireland.
