UK Brexit - should the UK leave the EU?

[Moll Flanders]

I always feel so left out (being Gen X) that I can't join in with this debate as people on British forums seem to love it, boomers vs millennials.

They think the bad weather may affect the voting turnout today as there was torrential rain and flooding in some areas.

Maybe if the UK votes to leave, then I won't have to go to this meeting in Germany next week ...!

I kinda hope for a Brexit so that maybe the ridiculous house prices will fall to a more reasonable level. Also, on an emotional level, Brexit would feel like a giant middle finger to the majority of the ruling elite.

I thought the Channel 4 debate with Jeremy Paxman was good. Nigel Farage pulled out at the last minute!

There have been queues at some polling stations, that is quite unusual. I wonder what the turnout numbers will be like.

From a personal standpoint, if house prices fell, I'd most likely end up in negative equity, seeing as we only recently purchased our house with a 90% LTV mortgage. But I'll agree that house prices are absolutely ridiculous at the moment.

I've voted - our polling station was quiet, but we went just before lunchtime and it's a fairly quiet residential area so I'm not surprised at that.

Bring it - I'm not afraid! I would be unlikely to lose my job, unless they decided to expel all foreigners, which also sounds unlikely.

I'm reading that the bookmakers think it will go in favour of remaining, though.

When will we know the result of the 'Brexit' vote?

Now we wait...

BREXIT: Polls close as world waits to hear Britons decide on EU membership

 

[AeryFairy]

Super close so far, it's almost 50:50, although not many areas have reported. I should be sleeping, but instead I'm obsessively checking the results.

So, seems the vote is in ... If you calculate in Euro, Uk property prices have already gone down to a more reasonable level ...

So, all I can say is that I feel sorry for the UK forum members who were in the "Remain" camp (like actually most British people I know)

Damn, I have been thinking for a while that I thought there seemed to be a lot more Leave people than people thought just from what I was seeing online.

I won't be making as many comments about what type of people vote for Donald Trump after this.

 

[Andy_T]

To everybody who was in favour of leaving, all that can be said is "Good Luck" ...

... And Good Riddance !

Indeed. Everybody hopes that common sense will prevail in the US election

No, to Andy's Good riddance comment.
