This could very well collapse the EU and if the EU collapses the markets world wide will tank. They will.
This is what the Globalists want to happen.
Soros threatened a collapse if the Elites didn't get what they wanted. And now, he and his Satanic cohorts will make good on that threat. I guarantee it.
When the carnage becomes extreme (and it will), then the true New World Order will be offered as the "only solution."

Maybe they’re more concerned with principle and sovereignty than whoring the country financially. It’ll be rough for a while, but much better in the long run. Once Trump is elected and a positive relationship is built, we’ll all be better off.

we could end up with three "unions" in Europe: one with the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and possibly the Baltic states) I don't think Norway is actually part of the EU.

While true, they would certainly welcome joining a Scandinavian union, though.

The Market found a reason for an overdue correction. Every once in a while reality needs to reassert itself. Although everything has changed in the long term, today is the same as yesterday.
My condolences to all the gamblers. /s

Paying the tab for the Welfare State.
THAT is exactly it, in a nutshell. All along, you could SEE what was going to happen! The poorer countries were going to bleed the wealthier ones dry!
So glad they’re getting a clue!

I think France will leave before the Netherlands. Although I heard that the EU is going to pass laws to prevent this from happening in other countries. The laws will ban leaving. I heard that tonight on the news.Oh, goodie. That way, Angela Merkel can continue to threaten other EU countries with military action if they refuse to take in Islamic refugees.

There will be more to follow. Those who want a country back, which includes border, language and culture.

It does not appear to be good for Britain, the pound is crashing and they will likely go into recession.That won't last long if Great Britain continues to improve its fiscal policy (lowering taxes, etc.).

Excellent.
More countries need to take their country back.
Us included.

Thanks NRx. The Fox Biz news stream ("Mornings with Maria", and others) is quite strong. No one said as much, but the Brexit "yea" vote has probably finished Angela Merkel, an unexpected bonus.
Not sure where it was (Fox or CNBC), but the Labour Party affiliated exit group spokesman was rushed to air, claiming that they were all really mostly concerned with the excessive red tape of the EU that has strangled business.
Gee, sounds like Donald Trump. Another talking head noted that Trump's on the right side of history on this, while Zero (didn't name the bastard, but that's who he meant) had already threatened the UK with trade consequences, and Hitlery had backed him up 100%.
Same guy noted that about 20 percent of US foreign trade was with the EU, and that about 20 percent of EU trade is with the UK -- iow, one fifth of our trade with the EU is with the UK -- and a reminder, about 25 percent or one quarter of all peer to peer tradein the EU is with the UK.
Guess we know who's runnin' things, eh? :')

“That won’t last long if Great Britain continues to improve its fiscal policy (lowering taxes, etc.).”
The problem is that the UK needs the EU more than the EU needs the UK.
And when the Brits go to negotiate trade deals with the EU, the EU will extract it’s pound of flesh.
