But What Happens Now? Seven Possibilities For A Post Brexit World
Seven possibilities of thousands...
David Cameron could intervene..
Technically speaking, the referendum is not legally binding. So Cameron, who's leaving office in October, could ignore the results and do nothing.
Market Uncertainty is certain..
In the short term, at least. Global markets have already felt repercussions, and there has been a flight to safer assets in the last 24 hours.
The Pound Has Already Fallen..
It's at a thirty year low against the dollar. Many hope it will stabilize, but losses to the British economy have already been very great...
Scotland may well call for another Referendum...
Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. If Nicola Sturgeon pushes for another Referendum for independence, the Scots may well leave.
Northern Ireland may leave the UK entirely..
The Republic of Ireland is part of the EU, and Northern Ireland may opt out of the UK in favor of a united Ireland within the EU.
Boris Johnson may be the next Prime Minister
The former Mayor of London was an outspoken supporter of the "Leave" campaign-in Cameron's absence, Johnson is party favorite to take over.
Total and complete chaos..
Is what it seems like right now...no one knows what this will mean in the long term. It's utterly unprecedented. The best thing to do is remain calm.
