Thanks
I see a number of companies are planning to sue the Brexit campaigners for using their Logo and misrepresenting their views

Britain as the leaver (if leaving) sets the timetable - the EU can't 'speed' the process up
U guys still remember February just gone..where China n oil were depressed...people think it was going to be the end of the world....n now..it is all forgotten....
Norway population 5m
Switzerland population 8m
Switzerland is always a special case and Norway is oil-rich (and used its oil income to amass wealth).
Besides Norway has to accept freedom of movement of labour, One of the chief reasons behind the vote for Brexit, in order to have their EU trade deal.
UK population 64m!
I would say the UK would become more akin to Bosnia_Herzegovina, especially given the now more likely Balkanisation of Britain with a disintegrating UK.
Britain is huge economically, the 5th largest economy in the world (depending on the value of the pound on any given day:) and the countries on the continent really like selling the UK loads of stuff. I think Britain's size is a plus.
Anyway, love the way people want another referendum because they weren't happy with the result of the first one. Let's have a do-over until we get the result we want :)
I should add, I have no real skin in this game apart from my BHP shares being listed on the FTSE. My parents are Brit/EU citizens (through their parents) but through a law change in the 1970s, it doesn't now extend to me.
This is such a stupid set of statements. If they were making "protest votes" and didn't know Cameron had said the ref was going to be honoured, then they shouldn't have voted at all. This para. is the usual "I can't take losing" kind of statement that causes market turmoil and social unrest. One can argue the need for higher voting thresholds (eg. minimum of 65% yes or no) and so on, but that occurs prior to the vote.
The vote has happened, the results are in. Suck it up and get on with life.
