Mukip posted:How likely is it that the EU will now become more "cohesive"? There were people saying that brexit would be good because now the euro federalism can deepen, and those pointing out that anti-EU sentiment has grown everywhere. Donald Tusk seems to be in the latter category of viewing further integration as unlikely. Personally, I don't think it was Britain holding the EU back, or at least it isn't now. It won't 'deepen', as you rightly point out most people don't want it to, but you'll no longer have the English poisoning the well. They'll have to follow 75% of EU regulations by default while no longer having the chance to veto or ask for special snowflake clauses. It's good for the EU in the long term. Actually, I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to expand beyond the first six in general.

Wili posted:This results are non-binding right? Who cares about whether the Brits would accept that, the real question is whether the other 27 countries would accept that. Hopefully not; because then everyone would just constantly throw their temper tantrums to get their way. UK says it goes out, it goes out. Pluskut Tukker posted:I seriously doubt any more than a slight fraction of the Leavers in the UK really gave a flying gently caress about what happened with Greece. Not caring about what happened with Greece as in caring about the Greeks, which you're right that nobody does, but caring about what happened with Greece as an illustration of how the EU is evil and incompetent. The point isn't to sympathize and commiserate with the Greeks, but to point at them and say "look at those suckers, this better not be us next time".

Hi everyone, what's the best city to move in the EU now that the UK pressed self-destruct? Preferrably I want one with good wages, high demand for web developers, good standard of living, and one where it's possible to survive in speaking English, and having a EU passport. Also they need to be smart enough that they won't do the same poo poo as the UK. Berlin? Copenhagen?

But did any one of the Leave campaigners use that as an argument? AFAICT most of what they talked about was how scary foreigners were coming to take over and how Brussels was stifling British ingenuity and competitiveness with its horrible regulations. Maybe the Greece argument was accepted by some of the poor deluded Lexitters but these weren't very numerous, were they?

It looked like there might be light at the end of that tunnel finally but with brexit, it might turn out that the tunnel's just on fire. So check out the job prospects before coming in.

By all accounts Luxembourg is grimy and poorly organized. Finland is a Nordic country. Then again it has snow, darkness, and is full of Finns. A crazy idea maybe but ask her? Also get a job there first before moving. ^also what he said doverhog fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Jun 24, 2016 |

doverhog posted:In the grand scheme of things, the EU really should kick out or let leave the states that don't actually want to be in it. Want as in are willing to follow the rules and pay the costs. So, good riddance. Yes, lets kick out all countries that don't take in refugees (whole eastern europe) and those who can't meet the financial obligations (whole southern europe) so we can finally have a likeminded and economically stable western/northern EU! This is a Union I could support.

She's pretty open to both, with going to Finland the better option she feels because she has lots of relatives there and it might be easier to set up. I'm kind of on the fence about that and feel going to Luxembourg would be better because it's in the middle of Europe, but saying that the digital scene seems to be much better in Finland and although English isn't the first language it seems to be easier to find groups over there who speak it. Also lots of IT Scots head to Finland it seems. We both thought that this wouldn't happen honestly. She always thought she could live and find a job here, but given circumstances now... That and I don't want to be British anymore I want no part of this country.

If you can get a job it's allright. If you're from UK [and white] everyone loves you.

Somebody should probably start a job seeking thread for goons fleeing the UK. As for Finland, the economy here is hosed, like prolapsing on the floor spewing liquid poo poo and blood on everybody hosed, and will continue to be so for years ahead. You will be extermely disappointed.
