I said I thought it was most unfortunate, that it was the same kind of fear-mongering at work as is currently being indulged in by Donald Trump. People all too ready to accept simple answers to complex problems. Problem finding a job? Blame the Mexicans (not you, imre). Don't like all the immigrants and refugees? Pull out of the EU.
Aside from all that, Winston Churchill was spot on when he famously said that democracy is a wonderful thing until you have a 10 minute conversation with the average voter. The financial implications of pulling out of the EU are far too intricate for the average person to get his or her head around. Never should have been put to a referendum in the first place.
Stock markets are plunging, even the Canadian $$ has declined (because Canada has heavy investments in the UK), companies will find it hard to compete and there will be large scale job losses in the UK.
And that's just MY opinion.![]()
