    Well, it's official. The "Exit" votes are winning by a decent margin, it's very likely that the UK will leave the EU. In the meantime, the stock market has dropped 8% and the UK Pound is now at a new low in value.

    And people are still celebrating this "Independence Day".

    When I see that, I said "Putaing" yeah in English "Shit" It's very sad, and it's not going to help any matters. Know that the UK leave many country also want to do it.

    Should be noted, the younger generations voted in. The older generations voted out. Huge disparity with young population being about 70% in and old being 80 out.

    Hopefully other states won't follow, but I think that's unlikely to happen when they see what the UK's economy will go through now.

    Ah stop panicking, The UK has the most stable economy than every other country in Europe. The Netherlands and Belgium will get a lot more financial problems than the UK. The Market will stable out very quickly.

    There'll be a big short term impact like the pound crashing as everyone has their kneejerk reaction, then things will even out and ultimately be the same as always for the average person.

    Looking at the FTSE 100, it is now only down 2.33% from yesterday. A 2.33% drop is an average thing, which can happen every fortnight.

    The "Exit" votes won, with a difference of 3 or 4 % of votes.
    I'm kinda sad that the UK is leaving EU, and I wonder what will happen next.
    I didn't think that people were going to vote for the brexit.
    (Sorry for my English)
