They could always be brave and go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the USA? And the really brave ones could chance their arm in the Far East/China or dare I say even India all who have or will have a bigger GDP than the EU in a year or two when It's biggest benefactor **cough** Great Britain leaves.

Pro USA & Israel

but they won't. Most young people from teh UK go and study/work in other EU countries than anywhere else in the world. Several reasons for that, variety of languages/cultures in arelatively small region, close to home (UK) to visit family. Additionally, for Australia, NZ, US etc, you need to apply and be accepted for study/work visas. The EU provides a huge opportunities for study and career with zero paperwork and zero waiting, that's the beauty of it and that's what is being given up. Of course the selfish older Brits who aren't interested in that voted against all of that, probably through jealousy as they never had that opportunity themselves. Instead they take their spite out on teh younger British generations. For me that's not surprising, as it's one of the reasons I left the UK in the first place.

EU migrants aren’t the big bet contributor you think they are (one for Sterling). It’s just the income tax they pay, and that’s sometimes before they go back to Poland with all their savings. If they stay into retirement then they’ll drain the coffers then too.

We’re also in a scheme of importing cheap labour and not training and developing our own so it isn’t simply a wonderful opportunity to move work and trade for all.

I’m not against immigration. I’m amazed at the houses some East Europeans are living in the further south you go of Croydon. Certainly not 16 to a 3 bed house. Far from it. Good luck to those raising families in large semis. But I am against the sheer numbers and the damage it does to our own citizens and the chances for their offspring, although sometimes the ignorant I see on Twitter deserve it. The description of Ponzi scheme on here isn’t far wrong.

It’s great for big business. Free to take the complete p1ss with a few employment laws.

Hmm, so one of the "best" consequences of Brexit is a brain drain of some of our best young talent?

One of the posters said that he knew there would be short term pain. he voted for the benefit of his children. Are you sure they are going to thank you?

Britain are at the G8 etc because of the size of the economy. They are also on the UN security council through the endeavour and effectiveness of the armed forces. They are also second only to the US in NATO with NATO regularly commanded by British generals.

In the EU for a regular and consistent period the UK has had the fastest growing economy - except for Ireland at times (which is hardly surprising considering Ireland was pretty much a developing nation not that long ago).

The EU, however, renaiged on the rebates due consistently, tried to implement a financial tax to hurt London solely, and consistently treated British wishes with contempt. I have little doubt that Merkel's ridiculous and, frankly reckless, immigration policy (if just letting anybody in who says they are a Syrian can be called a policy) was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Since then the EU has been printing money whilst imposing austerity on countries such as Spain and Greece. The EU have empowered people like Le Penn with their innate greed. Find me an EU MP that doesn't have their family employed as their private secretary for an additional 200 grand and you could get close to answering some questions about why people may be willing to take a short-term hit to get rid of the EU.

The final thing I will say is whatever happens politically, business will continue to do business: where one company pulls out or goes bust, another will take its place. Consumerism rules and Britain has 60 million people who like to buy crap. Leaving the EU will not change this - no matter how much scaremongering there is.
