The Brexit Votes Have it: The U.K. Is Leaving The E.U.

[robb_k]

I'd gladly take England as our 51st state, but only if somebody brings over the fish and chips.

Tonight.

I don't think USA would want that, and I don't think the Englanders would like that.

Now that I have a more well-rounded view of how The EU works [[from an outside point-of-view) I am more fearful that one of my 2 countries [[Canada) aims to have ever closer ties with The EU. And, my other one, The Netherlands, will pay an even greater share of the funding needed to integrate the lower-grade economies into The EU's money system, and also funding EU projects, with The UK dropping out, and, perhaps, other members following their lead.

I don't think it is practical to have a politically united and fully-integrated EU. But, I wouldn't want several countries dropping out of "the economic block".
