Seen this pattern often enough in the US.

What you do not realize is that Europeans are afraid of cheap European workers.

The Dutch recently snubbed the Ukrainians.

Good job cutting off their nose to spite their face. It will make my next trip to the UK cheaper, however, as the Pound Sterling just dropped 10% as a result of the vote.

I haven't followed it, but based on your reaction and the fact that that right winger Cameron resigned over it, it must be a good thing.

Putin likes it as it will weaken Britain economically, politically and strategically. The UK will wake up in a couple of weeks to realize that by their protest vote, they ended up screwing themselves.

As for Cameron, I bet you're the type who likes Corbyn, the nincompoop leader of Labor.

Relatives in Britain tell me that many British working class jobs were no longer advertised in Britain but in places like Poland and Lithuania.

I don't know shit about UK politics, but I do know you. Therefore until such time as I earn more, I'll take the side opposite of you.

Cameron will be replaced by an even more blazing Tory git, so no gain there.

You are right. You cannot reverse globalization. The idea that the UK can "leave" Europe is sort of ridiculous. The trade deals they will have to make now will probably not be as good as the one they currently have. The UK may be a big customer but a customer needs a good place to go shopping. And as we have all seen things tend to change. Someday Europe's economy might be stronger.
There is anger from those who are losers in globalization. However trying to go back in time to a period that was "golden" (and that is false too) will not work. I guess the reason we have Trump is no one has figured out how to solve the negative aspects of globalization.
I doubt Scotland and Northern Ireland will leave though.

BS. It will be a non-issue. The faux panic of today, possibly the balance of the summer, will fade. It will take YEARS for the Brits to extricate themselves from the EU, during which time there will be every opportunity to plan and execute an orderly exit.
