Brexit Will Be Disruptive Regardless Of Which Way They Vote

leave or stay, the vote will have major consequences

It is still impossible to know which way Brexit will go, but whichever it is there will be consequences, and none are good. If there is a leave win, then it will take as much as 3 years to implement as there are all sorts of agreements covering all sorts of subjects, from labor, to immigration to environment and many others. Redoing all of these will be made harder as the EU will stupidly try to punish the UK for voting to leave in the attempt to discourage others like Spain from following. That is a self- defeating and counter-productive policy to follow as the UK is a huge trading partner and any effort to punish the UK will be met with the UK firing back. Europe is the big loser in that fight although there would be a lot of damage to the UK as well. The UK has the giant advantage that it never gave up the pound, so it is far more independent than any other European nation, If the vote is sty then many members of the Conservative party will push Cameron to better his deal with the EU, and he may be forced to resign. Whatever happens there will be some level of turmoil. How serious is hard to know and for how long is impossible to say.
