Large number of people looking to get an Irish passport.
Also this Kim Jung-un chap regularly gets 100% in the voting, I'd say
He'd be popular, must be a nice bloke.
Do you see the differences of interest between on one side the UK and on the other side the EU?
I dare to say that you refer to the UK and the UK's interests to think things through and through.
But in all honesty, this is exactly part of the story that should have been sold before the referendum, during the campaign stage. 'Getting out' is a simple story to tell the voters. But the actual exit and with it all its bureaucracy is the more difficult story that campaigners and politicians should have told.
I agree with you that one has to think carefully how to move forward. But carefulness should go hand in hand with swiftness. And then I arrive again at my argument in which I say: Do not wait to long for the sake of financial and economic stability. That's not in the interest of the citizens of the UK.
I still feel....flabbergasted that especially now, due to the emergency nature of this situation, the UK (and the EU) have to wait until October for a new PM. And most likely the first 'working group' that will get the task to detailedly set out all the goals for the exit and with it the legislative goals, won't be finalized until after the summer.
Dear @BondJames? I. Just. Don't. Get. It. It's disruptive and frankly I think you're not helping the people with it.
I'm afraid the EU's interests are not paramount at this time to such decision processes.
Yes, I do see the differences, but I disagree that a delay hurts the EU. It only hurts the EU if they want to soldier on in the same way they have always been doing. If they are serious about reforms, then get on with it.
In such a scenario, a delay in invoking Article 50 may actually help everyone.
The markets are the markets - they will sort themselves out, after making new millionaires out of this process, and new paupers as well.
I tend to disagree on certain points. The EU is not a country. It is a union that consists of 27 nations. And in my humble opinion, I do think their interests are aimed at swift action from the UK.
I also think that, at this stage, it is naïve to think that a delay will help. Obviously you blame the market. And they are to blame. But it's not like the market directly voted in the referendum. Moreover, you tend to forget the stability of more simple companies, small and medium sized. There are also simple economic and financial forces at stake here that are directly related to last week's Brexit.
So you are not entirely correct. It's not like the UK's interests are paramount now, like you imply. The interests of 27 other nations are paramount too:
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Croatia
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
The Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
United Kingdom
Regarding the EU: Even if the EU stops soldiering around, which they actually are doing right now, a delay from UK's side is still damaging to the overall financial and economic stability.
Not the UK's interest's are paramount. Not the EU's interest's are paramount. But ALL interests from all sovereign states on the European continent are paramount.
By the way: Do we actually care about the countries that are very positive about the EU?
Well, June 24th 2016 wasn't exactly a referendum about building a new shopping mall in a small town. It was a tiny bit bigger than that...
I'm sorry, but I didn't blame the market. On the contrary. The market is what it is. Live with it. It's a giant casino with leveraged trades and algorithms running everything these days. It shouldn't impact decision making either way, and sadly, it has since the financial crisis. World economies are currently held hostage by financial gamblers. That is not how it should be.

As I said, the best thing for all concerned is if the EU could show that it is serious about reforms and starts enacting some substantial ones quickly, before the upcoming French elections. If they do that, and if the UK resists invoking Article 50 until October, then I can see a better way out of this. Now until October will be critical, for the EU as much as for the UK. This time will determine how it all plays out eventually. Time to end the posturing and get to work.
Which countries do you think are positive about the EU??
And I mean the actual people and not government.
Looking forward to that list.
:D
Oh, who am I kidding : asking him to do that is an impossibility. Still, one good thing : here are the reactions read by a Time Lord. And not the one you're thinking of :
Well, she was still in the REMAIN camp and if indeed she did think differently she still didn't have the bottle or the courage of her convictions to come out and back the LEAVE campaign. Thus, in my view at least, she doesn't have what it takes to be Prime Minister.
"I've got your second referendum right here."
Well at least that's one vote rounded up! :)
Oh, I'm sorry. Am I trying too hard to kick Farage in the balls for what he once said about my prime minister? Ultra-nationalism can be such a bitch.
