MESS at this being the catastrophe that Cameron will be remembered for. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Wouldn't be the first time.

That's different. In that case the votes were really close and what matters is the electoral college. Bush had more electoral votes he wins.

I'm talking more like a representative voting against a bill even though a majority of the citizens want it.

A UK politician will not go against it unless they want their career to be over.

When the historic Canadian election took place back in October, the plummeting Canadian dollar took an even bigger plunge from something like 0.77CDN - 1 USD to almost 0.69CDN, but it eventually went back to stability afterwards. I was scared ngl.

This ALWAYS happens
People FREAK and try to sell as fast as possible and stocks and the currency plummets
Just wait it out a few months and you won't lose money idiots

I can't sleep now. 6.30am and I have an eye test at 2pm. There's no point in even going to sleep now.

I'm not sure if you consider Greece to be a Republican society, but the Greek government recently went against the results of a Referendum (I don't recall what it was for), but yeah as far as I'm concerned, it usually means political suicide.

They still wouldn't really be able too. There are expats to consider and the retaliation from the other countries would be swift

This is true, but we don't know what the cosmetic makeup of this Leave movement will look like when they break apart. UKIP seems very racist and I don't think they care about retaliation, so if they are the party that will lead this new country, this could get very ugly, imo.

Well the US and the UK are different. For example, the Republican Party can technically deny (and they are trying) Trump the nomination because he's a threat to the country and the global economy. (UK even tried to get him banned from the country.)

So in cases where something is clearly a threat, politicians can go against the people. They ARE the professional ones who actually have knowledge on these things. But I doubt it'll happen this time.

You've got some valid points. I guess all we can do now is see how the events unfold.

Did I say it wasn't....?
My statement holds true regardless
People freak thinking they're going to lose a lot of money and try to sell as fast and as much as possible for as much as they can get -> lower prices -> lower stocks -> lower overall stock for major investors -> crash -> devaluation of currency -> inflation

It's literally every economic history lesson ever

It depends on when the conversion is applied (credit card charged at the end of the monthly cycle), what rate they are using (webshop can convert at a higher rate for you).
