Wixie loves to point out that the approval of Brexit did not cause the UK economy to go into a downward spiral.  Well, Wixie have you checked the value the pound stirling lately?  Have you heard about PM May's warnings forecast of many companies departing Britain after separation?  Have you heard the EU's warnings that the UK can no special status nor favorable consideration in exit negotiations?  Have you seen the articles about British economic planners drastically scaling back on their forecasts of future growth and about entire economic sectors cutting future expansion plans and instead concentrating on how to handle a contraction?  have you heard about polls in the UK showing most people are now thinking they screwed up and quantifying the growing pessimism about the future, especially among the youth who are the future? 

Sometime it take a few months or years to realize you have made a big mistake.  If the US is dumb enough, God forbit, to choose Trump it will not take nearly as long as it has taken the Brits!

Sometime it take a few months or years to realize you have made a big mistake.

And sometimes it takes time for things to stabilise after changing course, especially a radical change in direction -  sometimes months, sometimes years.  Brexit threw the region into turmoil, probably similar to what will happen if Trump is elected.  It is going to cause chaos as people try to figure out what a new direction is going to do.  I expect if it does happen we will get lots of posts from you daily in regards to how we are back in the ditch that democrats just pulled us out of, daily news media articles about how he needs to be impeached for his spray tan, Republicans joining Democrats crossing the isle to make sure that term limits never comes to a vote.

I expect the fed to suddenly raise interest rates to tank the economy that is currently unsustainable but then they can blame it on a republican and can stop all that pesky audit the fed talk

I expect Wall Street to to manupulate the markets to show short term loses and anybody with half a brain knows we are currently in a bubble - lets pop it with a republican so we can show that the republicans just want that car in the ditch.

I expect in 4 years we will probably still be going about our lives just as we did under Obama, the questions of better or worse being debated with name calling, stone throwing and you placing blame for Trumps disasters on Republicans, or Hillary's scandals on republicans, or well I think we call get the idea.

 

Now ultimatly I think Brexit while it may take time for things to stabalize, it will help return their sovereignty back where it belongs.  No other country or entity can tell them where their borders are, they are not tied to immigration policies that they feel are allowing them to lose their national identity.  Right or wrong they can make their own decisions, if they fail - someone else will come along and change course again, if they succeed then someone much like yourself well explain how much better they could have been with open borders, more refugee's, less guns while singing Kumbaya.

Islam now considered 'a threat' to national identity by almost half of French and Germans, according to new poll

Germans are being told, by the refugee's, to get out of their own country because they are mean, and complaining that they are not getting enough benifits!  How would you like it a syrian refugee moved in next door to you - didnt like what you were saying and told you that you need to get out of the country because your mean while beheading your daughter in the backyard because she offended his religion/culture because she did not wear a burka in his presence, and that you need to pay more taxes so he get more benifits?

A·mer·i·can dream
noun
 
  1. the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.
    "he could achieve the American dream only by hard work"

We have the same thing going on in this country - we have many illegal immigrants coming here for walfare, the American deams was about working hard and making something out of yourself.

The American dream has been perverted much like our political system. Now it means give me everything for nothing, I should not have to work, it will be given to me because I am lazy.  I should not have to learn your language, I should riot till you capitulate to my demands because of your mean words.  You should pay me money and benifits because you are mean and my country is corrupt/war ravaged.  You should do all these things in the name of being "fair" because you had fertile land and for some reason now I live in a desert.  You should pay your fair share so I can have nice things that I did not work for it but I deserve it!!!!

Considering that Brexit affects every institution, I think it would be strange if there wasn't a bit of chaos.  They voted for an idea, without any real plan of how it would be accomplished.  These things take time and there will be voices on both sides calling it a failure or a succes. Kinda of like how we went into Iraq with an idea, but no particular plan beyond the military invasion.  Some consider it a success and others consider it a failure.  The devil will be in the details. 

As Phil points out, if it doesn't work out, they will change again.  These things are not static.  If it does work out, I imagine some other European countries will follow suit.

You've had your butt handed to you by phil and Hound, so I'll agree with what they said without pulling a verbose stunt like copper-krap.  BTW, you can expect all kinds of crying from EU since those bureaucrats stand to lose their do nothing careers.  Yea!

http://news.sky.com/story/uk-economy-grows-05-in-three-months-after-brexit-vote-10633887

The UK economy grew by 0.5% in the three months after the Brexit vote, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.

The figure for July to September was down from the 0.7% growth recorded in the second quarter of 2016 - the months before Britain voted to leave the European Union.

But it is more robust than many economists had expected - and stronger than the 0.2% forecast last month by the Bank of England (BoE).

The higher-than-expected GDP figure was driven by the services sector - which accounts for more than 78% of the UK economy - which grew by 0.2% in the three months to September.

 

and changing directions sometimes is a good thing, may they contine to grow.
