Happy with Brexit?

Personally I don't think it will happen. I think we will be shafted into some bollocks off legal crap that we cannot leave and elitism money people of the U.K. Will get their way and we will not leave the EU.

I voted 'remain' but certainly don't foresee the doom and gloom shared by many. We just gotta get on with it.

Saying that of course its too early to say really what will happen.

The exchange rate will fluctuate quite a bit over the next few years.

I still don't think that Brexit will benefit us in the long run and many issues why people voted to leave won't be realised... for instance it is looking more and more unlikely that we can remain in the single market and stop movement of EU citizens. The single market is really good for Britain and stimulates great trade and competition. If we have to withdraw as a part of Brexit then we will see serious issues with trade and the pound. My big contention with Brexit is that these issues should have been explored in depth, by either side and independent observers, and a more considered and honest brexit debate take place before making the decision. The fact we didn't do that and are only now finding out about the ramification is a terrible stain on bith the remain and brexit campaigns. I think we were two years early for the referendum and should have commissioned more research into the possible strategy and ramifications.

We had to leave at some point. 19 of the 28 countries use the Euro. Closer integrated fiscal and lawmaking powers are needed for the benefit of the 19. Having the second (3rd due to devaluation of sterling) most powerful economy not fully on board and causing issues couldn't go on forever.

They are better off without us. No one else will leave as they have to decouple from the Euro which makes Brexit look a piece of cake.

The EU need to be grown up and embrace the fact that the biggest nuisance in the room will be leaving and work with us for mutual benefits.

The problem for the German government was for a lot of the centre right free market capitalist policies,we were the naughty boys in the corner they "tutted" at even thought they secretly agreed with us. We did give the room balance.

I don't think we'll fully leave and we'll be an associate member with Sweden and Switzerland

I think we'll be lucky if the pound rises after brexit,personally I think the ppl who voted leave voted for all the wrong reasons,to many narrow minded ppl got to vote on our future and it's only going to get worse,just my opinion

Next time maybe the government should consult you on how is allowed to vote! I would hate to think that democracy would work. Especially the uneducated getting their way.

The fall in the value of the pound and inflation are both related to the Brexit process.
The pound will not rise much in value and inflation will rocket.
Austerity ( which the EU promoted) will get worse simply because we have a neo-liberal Government.
When things don't improve who are those who voted out going to blame?

Apparently it will all turn around when we finally leave and the pound will rocket again I'd like to thank those who voted out for losing my business thousands of pounds in currency exchanges that I couldn't afford.

As you rightly say who will they blame when it doesn't get better.

yes paul that would be great thanks

Two basic results of Brexit are that the exchange rate with the Euro for travel is now almost 1 : 1 and the inflation rate is due to rise to 5%, with a drastic rise in prices at shops. Are all those who voted for Brexit happy with this?
I have never been a supporter of the EU ( a neo-liberal organisation), nor did I want more power for Westminster.
However, I can see some dire consequences of that referendum.

Being a brexit voter i was/am delighted with the result to take back control of our country instead of having 5 un-elected europeans doing it for us. But the biggest relief for me is that we have not gone into "financial amegedon" as we were told that would certainly happen from the remainers/moarners , by the way, i was in Tenerife for the new year in 2008 after the global banking collapse and i was getting one euro to the pound, it happens, life goes on.

Like Turkey's voting for Xmas in my view. Not sure our kids will ever forgive us.

The only thing that gets me is people voted out because they wanted an independent and not to be over ruled by the EU but even though when we do leave permanently everything still has to be sanctioned by EU?

You're absolutely right, they're better off without us

and we'll still have to pay [probably even more than we do already as they have us by the balls] for the privilege of having the freedom to come and go but no say in any of things that we now do have a say in!! You couldn't make it up...

I've read through the comments on this thread with great interest and just thought that since no-one has mentioned it before, what a fantastic set of tits on that Carol Vorderman. With any luck, we may get a glimpse of her bush when a spider crawls up her shorts.

Brexit hasn't happened so how can we give an opinion on it?
By the way I'm in central Europe right now and Monday morning I got £1 to 1.66 euro's so your 1:1 is incorrect.

If you could get 1.66 euros to the pound then you must be a very rich man by now.

The bank exchange rate at the moment is 1.18 euros to the pound.

Just buy at 1.66 euros from your mate in central Europe and sell to the bank at 1.18 - rinse and repeat and you will be a millionaire by bedtime.

Most of the bleak forecasts have been wrong so far, and I'm still waiting for that emergency budget that the remain camp said would have to be called almost immediately after a yes vote. Apart from me getting less dollars for my pound, the world has not come to an end for me yet.

Oh Steve don't start with all this crap again. You'll only get Wez and his posters out again.And I've heard that emergency budget will be just before they start giving that extra 350million a week to the NHS.

Emergency budget,no European army ,no one will want to trade with us hmmmmmmmmmm fair play you remoaners are full of shit

I really do have to question the mindsets of those who believed every single penny of the 350 million would go to only the NHS. The message was put on the side of their bus as an example of how this 350 million could be better spent to benefit our country. The Boris Johnson's kept hammering that message home to get votes and why not? Everyone with a brain should have realised the NHS is one of several things this 350 million can be better spent on.

I remember when it was one pound to an euro ,the pound has found its true level it's been over valued for a long time to trade globally it needed to come down ,our exports are doing much better now

the exchange rate was 1 to 1 a few years back when I went away this time of year back then or did all the euro lovers forget that.

Brexit has not changed anything all this bollocks of the world will end etc is the reason why people voted against it they had no argument besides scare mongering and they still haven't changed .

I am not happy with the exchange rate at all, but I believe it will eventually go back up

I still stand by my vote,to leave the EU

The exchange rate must be hurting you personally living in Spain. But I fully agree there is a cycle and at some stage it will reverse probably sooner than you think.

Tony, it is massively as my wages come over from UK every month.

But I know there is a cycle and you have to take the good and bad times.

So, if I've got this right. You voted for Brexit and live in Spain. Couldn't make it up really could you.

Don't you think it's strange that you vote for the UK to leave EU and choose to live in a country that is at the heart of the EU. You must think that Europe can't be that bad...but not for us eh?

I've already given my views on Brexit many many times.

Mallorca/Spain, virtually ignore half of the EU rules,its a pity the UK had not been a bit more like it,instead of jumping to every new rule and going way overboard on them.
Ive voted with my heart and beliefs that the EU was No good for the Uk, at the moment financially that was not sensible.

I've listened to all those Brexiteers telling me that we will apparently work out a deal on the same model as Norway - well that's the deal they have, so doesn't take much to figure out that's what those who voted for us to leave think is an acceptable price to pay.

You'll find that most European countries don't implement EU rules like the UK. It's all about interpretation and the UK's interpretation of EU rules is worst of all. You can't blame Europe for that you blame Westminster, which always has and always will be the problem.
