A majority of British voters said Thursday that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union, launching markets into turmoil as investors tried to digest what the referendum means for the U.K. and the European bloc as a whole.
Although concern for the future of the EU may seem like hyperbole, nearly every member state has a political contingent in favor of leaving the union, and the successful Brexit vote may have just politically legitimized — and energized — those movements.

States need to start leaving the United States to become independent.
Maybe they will be energized now.
The problem with a big, big government is that it has no connection with the common people. And it forgets that it is supposed to serve the people, not the other way around.
I say kick out the RED Communist areas of America. Let them join the EU.
I could consider joining a united Europe, maybe...
If we basically copied your constitution and bill of rights.
France is next!
Trump will bring liberty back to the United States. We just need to drastically cut our government and get the right Supreme Court members.
Here's the interesting thing. American politicians are always, always talking about "self-determination". They relentlessly lecture other countries: Let your people decide their own fate!
But no way will they allow that freedom in their own country. Try it, and the next thing you know Sherman is burning your town.
Texas would be the first and I’d move there.
Countries on “European” territories shouldn’t be able to deport their Muslims here.
Europe should be treated like Iran or Hezbollah or ISIS, it’s a haven for terrorists that want to murder everyone.
Germany sheltered them and wouldn’t co-operate with the US, allowing 9-11.
Europe should be on its own by now, if they want to hate and murder Jews again because Muslims make them do that at gunpoint, that’s on them.
“the right Supreme Court members.”
What we need is some strict enforcement of the American Constitutional contract between the states. The USSC has no business deciding cases not clearly enumerated in the constitution. Making Law out of Whole Cloth is the job of the Congress. The use of the Judicial branch to make law is a convenient political cover for the cowardly congress critters we’ve elected to office.
One is not supposed to generalize, but I'm going to do it anyway. The average Jew is highly educated and law-abiding, with Western values. In other words, he's one of the good guys. Any Jew who wants to flee Europe should be fast-tracked for US citizenship.
That's impossible now. But I'm sure it's something a President Trump would seriously consider.
So, we’ll have:
Frexit
Itexit
Swexit
First world people are under attack everywhere!
What about VT?
Vermont can be Quebec’s undercarriage.
Ditto.
My Texas born wife and I just had that talk.
But that is what the polls said about the UK too
Not necessarily.
