This has frightened the New World Order

[Reverenddel]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/leave-camp-l ... f=gsLONDON (Reuters) - Britain has voted to leave the European Union, forcing the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron and dealing the biggest blow to the European project of greater unity since World War Two.

Global financial markets plunged on Friday as results from a referendum showed a near 52-48 percent split for leaving a bloc that Britain joined more than 40 years ago.

The pound fell as much as 10 percent against the dollar to touch levels last seen in 1985, on fears the decision could hit investment in the world's fifth-largest economy, threaten London's role as a global financial capital and usher in months of political uncertainty.

World stocks headed for one of the biggest slumps on record, and billions of dollars were wiped off the value of European companies. Britain's big banks took a $130 billion battering, with Lloyds and Barclays falling as much as 30 percent at the opening of trade. [MKTS/GLOB]

An emotional Cameron, who led the "Remain" campaign to defeat, losing the gamble he took when he called the referendum three years ago, said he would leave office by October.

"The British people have made the very clear decision to take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction," he said in a televised address outside his residence.

"I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination," he added, appearing to choke back tears before walking back through the black door of No. 10 Downing Street with his arm around his wife Samantha.

Quitting the EU could cost Britain access to the EU's trade barrier-free single market and means it must seek new trade accords with countries around the world. The United Kingdom itself could break apart, with politicians in Scotland - where nearly two-thirds of voters wanted to stay in the EU - calling for a new vote on independence.

The EU for its part will be economically and politically damaged, facing the departure not only of its most free-market proponent but also a member with a U.N. Security Council veto, a powerful army and nuclear capability. In one go, the bloc will lose around a sixth of its economic output.

The result emboldened eurosceptics in other member states, with populist leaders in France and the Netherlands demanding their own referendums to leave.

The vote will initiate at least two years of divorce proceedings with the EU, the first exit by any member state. Cameron - who has been premier for six years and called the referendum in a bid to head off pressure from domestic eurosceptics - said it would be up to his successor to formally start the exit process.

His Conservative Party rival Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who became the most recognizable face of the "Leave" camp, is now widely tipped to seek his job. Johnson made no comment as he left his home to jeers from a crowd in the mainly pro-EU capital.

Even the citizens of the UK do not want a one world guv'mint. I think this was a "test" by those who run the things behind the scenes to see what happens when you give citizens choice... and then they inflicted a financial punishment on making what they consider "the wrong choice".

I hope we have a "shake up" like this in November. It would do my heart good to see America wake up, and push back the vile scum that has run this country for so long.

Next step: Get Uncle Sam on the bandwagon and bail out of the U.N and all these "Globalization" and "Global Harmonization" schemes for laws and regulations that are screwing up this country and everything in it.

I applaud the move. The method used scares the crap out of me. A simple majority vote that can be overturned on the next popular whim, especially when every such move brings a period of uncertainty in local and global economy, does not promote stability. Treaties may become tenuous in fields other than economy, given the lack of trust in ability to warrant adherance due to current popular opinion. Yeah, congratulations but...

Very true, but we can hope this will begin an unraveling. Britain must be a double-digit percentage (something like at least a fifth or a sixth, I'd guess) of the EU's economy and commerce. That will cause significant disruption in the EU. Perhaps The Beast will bleed to death before it can gobble up the Brits again.

LOL! One can hope, but kelu's response warrants attention as well.

It does get better if what I'm reading is true. Seems that the best salesman for the exit was the American President (no names, please) that spoke against the exit.

The reverse Midas touch strikes again. The world has finally realized that anything this dog-eating S.O.B. is for, they should be against.

Carl, we're screwed come November. The number of Americans with a clear head about anything are very small. The good sign is that even Bernie Sanders' supporters are starting to realize the game is rigged. It is interesting to note that among Democrat voters. trust of the media among Hillary Clinton supporters is high; among Bernie Sanders supports, low.

The problem is people (voters) won't look beyond sound bites. Look at the young folks' love affair with Senator Warren... who just backed Hillary Clinton, a staunch bastion and symbol of everything Warren supposedly fights against. I always figured Warren for a doublespeak demagogue, and this just enforces that view... but your Social Media fanboys still loooooove her.

We're screwed.

We're screwed.

It's deja vu all over again.
