epirb: I suspect that you may be right , in spite of the confidence expressed over the vote .
As Purr said, a lot will depend on the Tory Leadership campaign. Will be interesting what develops as I imagine it will develop into a Remain vs Brexit vote. Can see it becoming a shi t or get off the pot scenario.
purr4mance: you are so sure trump is going to win so lets place a little wager.
if he wins and hillary loses, i'll send you a 6 pack of excellent tasting beer from great lakes brewery.
if Trump wins you might not be aloud to send it out , whats more you will need it and a whole lot more . I don't see him anything more than an entertaining least worst option . In the short term he probably is a bigger risk to beef prices , my income . Where's Clinton is a risk for the rest of my working life and that of my children trapping NZ with the other TPP countries with an EU style agreement , far more advanced than the EEC was when Britain joined . Trump can only last eight years , 2920 days plus two more for leap years . Sneaky feeling a few will be crossing them off like a sentence .

Has it occur to you on how the actual trading of commodities and services (especially financial) is going to be reshaped with the Brexit? Not only for UK.
Are the culture and microeconomics of UK going to be better with Brexit? I hope so because the ones that benefit from a country’s economy in the big leagues they always do: with Brexit or without Brexit, with EU or without EU.
Regarding to Brexit: (from 3rd grade at elementary school)

That's not necessarily a bad thing. The reason for opposing the EU is not because it's illogical or unreasonable - it's a calculating death force rational as the Borg - no, the reason for going against it is because it's destroying what it means to be alive.
Emotional, intuitive and irrational peeps were always more likely to know what it means to be alive and don't rob them of this meaning as it leads to creativity, ingenuity and success. Your Stalinist corps approach may work better for the next 5 minutes with its increased efficiency, yet it will rot you from the inside out.

I should use Henry Ford as the example when addressing an American, but same difference.
