So what happens now?

Re Brexit, that is.

My predictions

• Cameron does resign (already confirmed he will according to this morning's news) leaving the Conservatives running the country but in a mess.
• Renewed calls for Scottish and Welsh independence, union of N&S Ireland, etc. - already started. No doubt Cornwall will soon follow.
• Calls for London to become a separate state and remain in the EU - not a snowball's chance in hell, but it's already being talked up.
• UKIP realise they don't actually have a coherent strategy post winning, apart from most of their actual politicians wanting to dump Farage with extreme prejudice.
• The pound declines in value but probably comes up again gradually, but never fully recovers.
• A couple of years of negotiations then a slow withdrawal process over several more years before Britain actually leaves the EU.

Probably a lot I've missed here, but it's going to be an interesting and scary ride.

Crap. Maybe you could try for statehood like e.g. San Marino.

I reckon it would be an option - it is debated now and again in the local press. And we could stop paying the UK government to defend us* - end even stop paying the TV licence as we currently do.

*A waste of money, I have always thought - you think they would just sit back and let the Russians invade us in our geographical position?
