Even if Scotland doesn't achieve their independence, England is dead as it is. The pound value drop was just the start and I highly doubt that the European Union will keep the same trade partnerships with the UK.
I'm also curious to see how the UK will have the capacity of self sustaining themselves.

I really have a hard time seeing them not getting their independence, though. Before, there was the "leaving the UK would be bad for economic reasons." Now that England turned itself into a sinking ship? Not sure what argument will be made against it... especially when they went the opposite way of Scotland on this.

The only thing that might 'cause issues for them would be the "non-liberal" people (older population). They wouldn't understand the concept of leaving the UK since they stand proudly for that "alliance". However, looking to numbers and ignoring the patriotism, the numbers are clearly pointing out that they need to jump out of that ship - Not forgetting that in order for that to happen you would need another vote poll and that costs money and time; Whenever you actually reach that position of being able to vote for that independence your country already suffered huge financial stabs and you'll have to run against time in order to recover. I highly doubt that most of the british people are aware of what a currency value drop means and I also highly doubt that they're completely aware of what's going to happen to their economic power thanks to that.
It's just funny that few hours after this happened, the main topic that was searched on Google from British people was: "What's the European Union?"
As someone said before; Democracy is the Opium of the Masses. However, most of the masses don't have the capacity and acknowledgment of handling the power.

I'm sorry to inform you but most of the 18-24 years old from this generation aren't that smart to think in all the consequences. There are exceptions however the vast majority isn't ready to do such a thing. Want to see my point settled and done in one single place? Visit Magaluf in Spain - Land of the British (from the age of 16 to 25ish) and be surprised with their ignorance. Had the opportunity of being there two weeks ago and it was hilarious to listen to them singing: " **** THE EU! "
Also had the opportunity of having a proper conversation with one of them and he told me this same words:
" EU is overrated. We can sustain ourselfs with our own production. I will be extremely happy of discounting for my own country and not for the EU. We have the power to do so. "Edited: June 24, 2016

What you call implying I call reality. Read the Edit then state that I'm implying.
I assume you're fitting in that age range to state such a thing. But I'm also almost 100% sure that you're not british. Life will teach you some things along your journey.

Uhm... you're completely missing his point. He was being sarcastic at me, while he agrees with you that kids at that age range are often clueless. He's saying I was implying it when I say I'd only leave something for worthwhile offspring.

Kinder is so amazing. I feel bad for any American that has never tried it before. If you like chocolate that is. I want it legalized so it doesn't have to be smuggled in anymore to me. :v
Off topic. I took a break from school because of the twins. I just enrolled back into school and I start early July for computer programming. Changed majors. I am excited. ^^
