Thing is, lots of Brits live and work in Europe proper, certainly more than the other way around. An exit will definitely have a deleterious effect on the British economy and those workers abroad.

Other way around: 1.2 million Brits living in other EU countries, while there are over 3 million EU nationals working in UK, and " just over half—around 1.6 million—of the EU nationals living here arrived between 2006 and 2014."

I stand corrected. Thanks for linking sources, too. Appreciated.

But it does still speak to the problem that both British and other Europeans will face. Also what of the Irish and the Northern Irish? That's gonna be a weird situation.

Despite being a self-professed anglophile, the UK's spoiled child stance inside the EU pisses me off, and this brexit bullshite has bored me long before the current referendum. A relic of Britain's imperialist, chauvinistic past (and present).

Looks like they're calling it and the 'Leave' camp won out. And then the pound dropped to a 31-year low. Thats-... that's not good. I wish everyone on the other side of the pond the best of luck.

I like to look on the bright side; maybe it will make some of the "yeah, revolution!" people over here realize that is a singularly stupid idea when you're not under an autocracy.

Top news this morning is that world markets are plunging in the wake of Brexit, and Cameron is resigning as Prime Minister.

I can't believe Britain voted out. Dumbest thing that country has done in centuries.

This is the beginning of the end of the European Union.

The Aussie dollar is dropping even further because of it (Who thought that could happen), down over 4% since the announcement.

It's horrific news...but from a retro gaming perspective can anyone get a handle on how it will effect trade in our community?
