I don't even know if anyone thought about how it's going to work.

The UK will struggle to keep the country together. The EU will struggle to keep the union together. Brits will negotiate new treaties over time from a much weaker position. The split itself will cost both parties a significant amount of resources short term and the global economy will take a hit as well. Geopolitically, both EU and UK will become less relevant, especially with Asia on the rise, and if the EU isn't able to overcome the recent economic and political crises, it will once more dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states.

Well, now the next step, far right should come to power in European countries. Europe just needs such a shake and disruption. Trump may help too. To end the current trend of populism, fear, disunity and incompetence and start something new and optimistic. But decline first.

If there is a Frexit, the EU will be no more.

Europe needs a far right cure like an anorexic needs tapeworms.

Politicians have been claiming that black is white for as long as there have been politicians, but this sounds like political suicide. "Hey unemployed person, I'm the reason you lost your job and I'm proud of it, vote for me!"
.

They weren't the reason for losing the job. It's the capricious disrespect of Britain that simply asserting a right to an independent vote has exposed for all to see. 'And we made it happen! We are the exposers of the disdain and the Hobson's choice that was Europe! Now give us government and we can Make Britain Great Again'

On a lighter note, there is now a petition calling for London to declare independence from the UK and join the EU: (https://www.change.org/p/sadiq-khan-declare-london-independent-from-the-uk-and-apply-to-join-the-eu)

...and apparently one petition wasn't enough: (https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-londonstays-we-want-to-remain-part-of-the-european-union)

I take back what I said earlier about Cameron's political savvy in using these referendums to weaken his opposition. You guys/gals were right.
