They'll figure it out just like other countries figure it out. If anything I can see countries like Italy leaving the EU as well which will be a good thing.

Sure they'll 'figure it out' but it's going to be a huge economic negative when they do and potential chaos before then.

It will eventually be a positive because British citizens will be able to conduct business without some asshole in Belgium telling them how they can and can't do it.

And yet the terms of their exit from the EU are being dictated to them from Brussels.

Theresa May and her ilk are trying their hardest to make as many concessions to the EU as possible, but in the end it will most likely be a hard exit allowing the old rules to die off and new terms to be agreed upon.

Yes, but these people didn't think things through.

Who didn't think things through?  When it was passed there was talk voters who were in favor of staying in the EU didn't think it would pass so they stayed home.  I guess they didn't think it through or think it was worth getting off their asses for.  Being a member of the EU means giving up some autonomy and being impacted more when members like Italy, Greece and so on can't get their own financial house in order.  As of 2016 the UK is the 3rd largest contributor to the EU budget and it's estimated that in 2019 they'll have the 5th largest economy in the world based on GDP.  Personally I don't care if the UK ends up staying or leaving as I can see pros or cons for both but I think they'll be fine either way once the dust settles.  Doesn't mean there won't be growing pains if they leave but they've already kind of dealt with the growing pains of being a member and giving up some of their power.

I don't think any of them thought it through. Sure they will be 'fine' but complete independence is going to come at a cost. Their economy is going to contract because of this - it's economic certainty. Whether or not it's worth the price to keep all the muslims out is for them to decide.

It's ridiculous to put this at the feet of May. She is not in a position to dictate terms to the EU.

This whole show is kabuki theater. The people voted to leave the EU. Time to quit jerkin' around and rip the damn band aid off.

I'm guessing someone did and will profit handsomely from it.

Theresa May's Brexit deal has been defeated for a second time. Lost by 149 votes.

They may try to delay the whole thing rather than make a hard exit on March 29.

if I was living in the UK I would be genuinely scared of a no deal exit.  What are the odds that Facking Boris Johnson and Nigel Farrage don’t hang around for that shit.  fuc*cking moronic cowards.

I'm pretty sure GB is going to be fine not having to fund all of the bankrupt socialist nations.

No man.  According to common sense.  What do you think is going to happen at borders that were previously open ?
