do you have an idea how many billions the UK makes from exporting to other EU countries? how many of your jobs depend on that? how much London profits from being the EU's financial capital? Your flop Commonwealth can't replace that.
I blame a lack of education for this. If the EU was part of the curriculum in the UK like it is over here, more people would realize its advantages and wouldn't have to worry about Romanians stealing their toilet cleaning jobs.
Nationalism and separatism don't work, history has proven that countless times. Maybe the UK needs to learn that the hard way, just like we had to (3 times in the last 100 years actually), but I'm still hoping they get their act together. If they decide to leave they'll be back as a ruin 10-15 years later, Scotland probably earlier.

Pretty sure History has also proven countless times that Nationalism and Separatism do work. It's not like the former British Empire countries are begging to rejoin us because their independence movements have proven to be for the worse, is it?
It'd be impossible for Scotland to rejoin before the UK because 1. We're not allowed to engage in Foreign policies and 2. If Scotland gets independence it will remain part of the EU when England leaves a year later. If the independence referendum fails this year it's gonna take a lot longer than 10 to 15 years for a follow-up one to occur.
Do you actually know the British Education curriculum or are you just assuming that because we disagree with you politically that we aren't educated? Probably should consider the fact that you're from the Country who is one of the biggest benefiters of the EU(going by your location) before judging other people from other countries for feeling differently.
