I'm not sure of the legal bits and pieces, but I doubt we will start throwing people from the EU out of the country, and vice versa.
That depends on how hacked off the germans and french are. Not sure they will want an exiting country to succeed, so they MAY well make things difficult.

I bet Merkel and many other EU leaders are regretting not being more flexible in allowing Cameron more concessions in the pre referendum negotiations especially on restricting free movement. Nullifying the immigration argument even allowing temporary restrictions and Remain would most likely have won.

:facepalm:

It's PLP backed Remain whilst it's entire vote on the ground wanted to leave. When the PLP is totally at odds with the north of England and Wales, you know it's time for them to pack it in and call it a day.

Make your mind up.
The current system is, unless you have an agreement for free movement - both ways (ala Scandinavian countries) you cannot reside and work in an EU country if you are not a member. Unless an agreement is reached with the EU, UK citizens will be under the same conditions as IS, Chinese and Australians for example. The UK will also have to agree to allow currently resident EU nationals the right to remain and work. This will be complex and hard to agree in detail.

I am assuming we are ok for 2 years, but after that all bets are off, it will be done to the euro sceptics to negotiate with a europe that currently hates them.

Pro Europe!

Now is the time to be pro Europe! It's only the EU we voted to leave, we still love our European neighbours and we need to show them :love:

Just because we don't agree with the direction of EU politics doesn't mean we want to close our borders.

They're very worried in The Czech Republic and Austria this morning. I personally apologised on behalf of The UK electorate on Facebook and both those girls know I still love them at least.

WTF?

Yes - for the overwhelming majority of the gullible divs that voted out yesterday, that is EXACTLY what 'we' want to do.

Don't bother trying to pretend otherwise, now.

To be replaced by Boris, Gove, IDS?
What a very sad day for this country.
I had no idea that the majority of this country were so stupid, ignorant and racist to allow this to happen, it is going to be a disaster.
Farage lording it up this morning is making me want to puke.
The only people that think we are a great country are the British, to the rest we are a laughing stock, a small blip of an island that now holds no credibility in the world anymore, if anyone thinks we can just go waltzing into countries around the world demanding trade deals they are very much mistaken.
The referendum should never have been held, the British have proved they are far too thick to make the correct decision.

Hey Mr Chopper you need to get on that bike stick it into 3rd gear and head south, fast as you can if that is your real belief.

The messages I've had from European friends are ones of condolence, pretty much. They feel sorry for us, rather than angry at 'our' decision.

God help us, Noel Gallagher was right, people are too thick to make decisions like this. Think the state of the pound shows what this has done to us financially and will continue to, but at least we can have funny shaped bananas now.

Uncharted territory, but I don't think the Germans/French will cut their noses off to spite their faces. We import more from Germany/France than they do from us.

Germany: 2014 figures: We export $46.5 Billion and import $100 Billion (Trade)

France: 2014 figures: We export $27 Billion and import $41 Billion (Trade)

Whilst ours was not so blatant as that, we also received an email saying we are having a company review

I'd be a bit worried working for any company firing out emails like that the morning of the result. Surely the dust should settle a bit more before scare and panic mongering? Talk about massive de-motivating of the workforce

Speak for yourself - I'm volunteering on the beach this afternoon, we're throwing hundreds onto make shift rafts.

Well done for listening to farage all you leave voters he has already admitted on TV a few minutes ago that this £350m a week sent to the EU and then to be spent on the NHS was wrong.
But I didn't listen to him. Politicians on all sides lie, it's what they do. You have to make your own judgements on what's most likely, which is what I did.

I saw Liam Fox just 5 minutes after the result was announced saying that Article 50 should not be invoked. Again, extraordinary given that this had been at the heart of the Leave campaign.
As above, it was never the case that we'd have to invoke it. We'll only do so if it benefits us. The job now is to be calm and work out the best deal for the rest of the EU and the UK.

Also the results show that those with higher education were more likely to vote remain.

Old uneducated people won it!
Don't forget the inbreds!

We dont know, all I am saying is nothing is now a forgone conculsion. And I really this the European powers will be trying to make Brexit as painful for the UK as possible.

Why not thank them for laying the foundations of the prosperous country you live in now , for building it after ww2 out of the ashes of austerity that you couldnt even BEGIN to imagine ? Instead of whining like a 12 year old whos been told he cant stay up late ?

Will the country be prosperous? I hope so. This may well be the case in the long term. But right now, for someone hunting for a job after leaving university like myself, this result brings a lot of uncertainty. There is a very high chance of a sort term economic downfall, but let's hope this isn't the case. Economic forecasters are notorious for getting things wrong.

This result has really highlighted the difference from the younger and older generations. Polar opposite differences in voting preferences, made for a very exciting and close finish. I'd like to apologise for my outburst, there's no point in crying over spilt milk. It was a late night where we all witnessed history. Let's hope the country got it right, as it's my generation that'll live with this decision for the majority of their lives.

I'm thankful this is over. Both campaigns have been full of lies and incompetence.

The Conservative Party is discovering that many of its supporters as well as moist of its activists are one-issue obsessives, the Labour Party is discovering that, while most of its activists are to the left of its Parliamentary Party, many of its traditional supporters are to the right of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party is discovering that it is quite hard to split the atom.
