If most others had voted against it it would not have been passed.
No other EU Country is anywhere near leaving.

Really?
Have their Parliaments agreed on this course of action?

There doesn't seem much of a rush for the exit so far.
Actually it makes far more sense for Northern Ireland to join Eire and get the benefits the EU offers them as a net exporter. This would surely benefit both the UK and Ireland?
I vaguely recall that in the last Irish election two candidates standing on the platform of leaving the EU got less than 2% of the first preference votes and that membership of the EU is supported by over 70% of the population (might be higher).
How dare anyone even suggest that any other member state would ever want to leave such a wonderful being as the EU!!As for talk of speculation? Wait until we have actually left at the end of the year. I am so convinced we will are just the start of those wishing to leave the Rot, I may even start taking bets on which country is next! My money is still on Ireland by the way.
Watch this space!

Well, we will have to disagree on this one Shroppy.
My reasons for leaving were not financial at all.
I am simply not prepared to stay in an Organisation where Merkel can open the Borders, put us all at risk and then demand that others pay for it.
I am not prepared, under any circumstances to be ruled by Merkel and Macron.
They can get stuffed as far as I am concerned
The Common Market made sense, good for all.
The EU does not, it is completely different.
Others will wait and see what happens to the UK in these difficult times of a World Recession.
Protectionism is the name of the game now, looking after your own economy.

I will hold Brexiteers responsible for everything bad that happens here now.
We're losing control not taking it back.
