Yeah... if England (and let's be fair, it'd be English votes that would do it) votes to leave the EU, the Scots will hold an independence referendum the next day and would vote to leave the UK in a landslide.

So, thoughts: should Britain leave the EU?

Edit to clarify: I guess what I really mean is, does anyone think that it is in Britain's better interests (economic or otherwise) to stay or leave? And why?

I figured it would be better to stay in the EU than leave it for the simple fact that it would basically mean Britain will shoot itself in the foot economically, plus there is the whole anti-immigrant side of the whole thing, since it seems the majority of supporters for exiting seem to be right-wingers and what not.

I for one hope that Britain leaves the EU, and I hope that the very next day, the EU invokes stiff tariffs on any supplies entering Britain. As a good punishment for being dumb enough to leave.

I mean, jesus, you're an island nation, do you not see how free trade is beneficial to you?

Is there a single non-racist reason to support Brexit?  As far as I can tell as an outsider the answer is no.

My money is on Brexit winning, then they'll still be forced to deal with the common market but with added tariffs and an incentive for the EU to punish them economically.

The EU can be sucky but I still think they're nuts to leave personally. When it all goes south there will be tears and added xenophobia because kicking the foreigners out won't magically fix Britains woes. Probably add to them in fact.

I've been following it on the financial side. It seems line both the EU and Britain would both be stronger together than apart. As it is, the pound has been all over the map the past couple weeks. Hopefully this vote will stabilize that some.

I'm just  hoping that BREXIT side didn't win because not only would UK hurt a lot if they leave EU but it would also hurt EU. I suppose laughing at the silly Britons who ruin their country is an option, but it's not like everyone who lives there deserves to suffer.

Besides, this is a very bad time to weaken Britain as Russia is ready to exploit such weaknesses and if Trump wins then that will make the world even more unstable.

EDIT:

BREXIT seems to have won. And the Scots have voted to stay in the EU so the possibility of Scotland leaving UK to stay in EU has already been brought up and a Scottish politician who was interviewed by BBC implied such an outcome.

Speaking as an American, seeing the far-right win from the outside is really fucking weird.

What are the economical consequences now that theyve buggered off. The only thing i know for sure is that tariffs will be imposed by the EU. Economics are far and away from my forte, absolutely terrible when it comes to money related terminology
