I assume this country will be stripped of all international responsibility. How can it be trusted with a UN veto power if it literally decides to will be kinda fun to risk the world economy because "muh feels"? A sad, sad end for Britain's status as a global power.

So, suppose it's five years down the road and the EU has "made an example" so-to-speak of the UK. The British economy is in disarray, and there's a huge sense of regret. This isn't like a normal election where you can just throw one side out. How easy would this be to undo?

At the very least, I can't imagine they'd be allowed to keep the pound.

In five years nobody will remeber there once was a EU.

For the record, I am anti-IrishReunification, anti-UN, and anti-NATO.

And an anti-Semite, don't forget.

Is it sad that I'm sort of cheering for a (now impossible) Corbyn victory so at least they'll get rid of the nukes they can no longer be trusted with?

Yeah, it would make more sense to give the UK's veto power to the EU now.

That's not going to happen and you know it. Rather like this asinine talk of an 'Irish reunification referendum' or the British economy sliding into Depression.

France is already the de-facto EU vote on the UN. And it is truly sad that there are people here that are STILL butthurt over Suez and muh empire.

LOL! Stupid! They will be moving back in a couple of months when the EU is officially no more.

So, the new argument is that this will be bad short term, but good long term.

I guess I too can experience the benefits of UK sovereignty if I send now a small gift of $5000 to let the good Lord Nigel Farage do his blessed work.

What a ing joke.

You can bet your (rapidly deprecating) bottom pound sterling that the international community has reassessed their opinion of the UK significantly downwards though.

The US is never going to let the UK lose their veto in the UN.  Not gonna happen!  Hate to burst all of your anti-British bubbles.
