Default UK EU Referendum

What do you guys across the pond think of the UK referendum of staying in or leaving the EU. Does it register on your radar in the US and if it does will it affect anyone in the US.

LR parts are going to get (more) pricey.

But seriously, it's going to jack up a lot of things, especially in the financial markets since so many companies leverage London as a gateway of sorts into the EU. I know at that at least one of my clients is going to be directly impacted should a Brexit occur, never mind how this is going to affect the fledgling tech sector in London that was reliant on talent from the UK as well as other EU member countries.

I think the UK, as a whole, is going to find out how reliant they actually were on the EU, and not the other way around like so many seem to think. And that's a shame.

So the Brexiters outvoted the remain campaigners which has caused a backlsh in the UK, European EU and even the US and Canada from what I'm reading.

In the UK and EU the money markets have plummeted, shares collapsed and the UK political scene is in turmoil and the funniest or not so funny is it's all for nothing as the Brexit promises made by the exit campaigners is impossible to achieve, totally wasted referendum now with many lies and lots of bad feelings alround.

I couldn't agree with you more AR, problem now is the political parties are in turmoil and too frightened to approach the 'train wreck'
