Questions for Britain
So my proxy vote worked! Declaration of interest: I voted Leave.
I'm pro-Europe, anti-EU and I wish it could be a federal republic, but it isn't and even if it were, Britain would remain an awkward partner, not participating.
But now we've won the vote, we have some questions. Here is a brain-dump of all the things I wonder:

But now we've won the vote, we have some questions. Here is a brain-dump of all the things I wonder:
- Why is there financial turmoil today? Even if Cameron had invoked Article 50 this morning, there wouldn't be any impact on EU trade or legislation for two years at a minimum. I have an answer to this one: Because Remain talked up turmoil. They listed all the things that could go wrong economically so as to Project Fear us into Remaining, and instead they created market instability
- Will the UK continue to follow EU Regulations and Directives that it has adopted. Particularly relevant examples for me include:
- Food labelling rules (because I'm coeliac); and
- Solvency II (because I'm a Risk Manager by career).
- Will Scotland get a new referendum?
- Will Northern Ireland troubles restart and/or will they get a referendum?
- Will Wales want to continue to be coupled to just England?
- Will Gibraltar be happy being British/English?
- Will things formerly British, like North Sea fishing, need negotiation, or just return to the way they were pre-CFP?
- Which company will be the first to benefit; Tate & Lyle, JCB or Dyson?
