    UK to have a referendum on whether to stay in the EU on June 23rd. Actual geopolitics here, this could impact the world economy in a tangible way in the short and long term.

    I'll post important updates here if people are interested.

        Really see absolutely no purpose in leaving, and those who want to leave are just drawing arbitrary lines about where they want control over their laws. For example, I live in London, and we have a London mayor and local government, who determine local laws; I also live in England which is subject to English laws (which can very from scottish or welsh); I also live in the UK which is subject to UK laws; I also live in the EU which is subject to EU laws. I also live in the UN, which is subject to UN laws. And yet apparently the EU is the one people want to opt out of.

        People complain about those coming to the UK and not working - well, London earns a hell of a lot more in tax than the rest of the country, yet we see much, much less of it per person than the rest of the country. Why shouldn't London become independent?

            The euro is a different issue, and there's concern on either side. It's difficult to have a single currency working well in countries with such different economic policies. Ultimately, though, the world will end up with a single currency, probably the earth dollar or some such.

              An effect on the world economy? Is there going to be a major peak in the mayonnaise market? 🙂

                        It's a pretty loose but decent analogy, yeah. In some ways we're the united states of europe.

                          No, French. I think of HP sauce when I think of Great Britain.
