Brexit Explained: What Could Happen to the UK Next?

We've all heard the news that the UK has voted to leave the European Union. In this video we will be looking at the data and exploring a few possibilities of what could happen to the country in the future. A few crucial facts were left out for the sake of brevity, such as the fact that the younger generations tended to vote more heavily for remaining and the older generations tended to vote more in favor of leaving.
That being said, I hope that everybody enjoys this video. It is not intended to be one sided one way or the other, it is just an exploration of data and some interesting future possibilities. Cheers everybody!

It makes me Sick how people who voted to Leave are now Presented with two Options, Remain in the Uk or Leave the UK and join the EU. I personally want Scotland to be Free of all Unions for just a little while so we can Actually Govern the Direction our Country wants to go Unrestricted. Scotland as of Currently is a Liberal Shithole with similarities to Sweden, We might just end up with our very own Scotistan.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

blaser Just the name it had before it became the EU - but I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant....

[@blaser80]

GorillaGuerilla but they're complete different, in terms of size and power. Also, the only reason the UK wasn't accepted was due to the French President and once he was booted out, the UK were welcomed in.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

blaser at the time the UK was denied access it was considered the sick man of Europe! The economy had been awful for years! The reason you where welcomed in where that there was countries that demanded you got in and even threathened to leave if you weren't accepted....

[@blaser80]

GorillaGuerilla obviously we were still rebuilding after the war and fuelling money into rebuilding and the NHS, etc. But we were worse when we joined, if you recall after joining we went bankrupt and had to go to the IMF for assistance. But again every nation, but France was in favour of us joining.

[@finnbazz6315]

***** I'm from Ireland, the country in the EU who will probably be most effected by this.

[@brythonicman3267]

So why would you celebrate it? You're (rightly) independent of the UK now, but sold off your sovereignty in one generation to an overseas power after fighting for 700 years to achieve independence. I hope the UK and Ireland will continue to trade as before and have free movement between our nations as long as Ireland does not join the Schengen Agreement.

[@finnbazz6315]

***** What do you mean why would we celebrate it? Because we fought for our independence like America and others.

[@vagurl84]

Thanks for your videos! Always great!

[@cheydinal5401]

Brexit will probably not happen: Scotland and N. Irleand have a de-facto veto, because I don't think Great Britain would be willing to lose half its land for border control, while also paying MORE to the EU (as Finnland does), and losing all its EU rights, and at the end keeping basically all the treaties it already has, if the EU doesn't decide to go harsh on them, which would be even worse. So to sum it up: If Britain actually leaves, then they lose 1/3 of their land, pay MORE money to the EU, have absolutely no say in the EU parliament, but on the upside they get to expell 10'000 refugees from the country, which will also be a non-issue anyway in 5 years. Also if there had been another vote at any point from directly following the first vote to now, the outcome probably would have been Stay, especially after the Leave leaders resigned. So leaving would upset the populous, and weaken the country far, unimaginably more than 10'000 refugees ever could, even if they wanted to (which they don't, and hosting 10'000 people isn't that expensive, no more than 6 pence per cititzen/month)

Euroscepticism is good but the anti-European stance many British have is not good. Most anti-EU British people I've come across don't really understand the EU at all. Critical thinking and the ability to critically analyse should be taught from the beginning of primary school in the U.K.

[@tiorimas]

They'll realise that the EU is not only about a bunch of bankers making decisions for them, but also a bunch of politicians who introduce work regulations and try to protect workers' interests. Out of the EU, employers will be able to do whatever they want. Also, without trade deals, you'll see how the price of many alimentary products will skyrocket, because nothing can grow in a land without sun.

[@greedobob]

What would be wrong with a politically united Europe? Fear of greater union has been a theme of Brexit, typically presented as negative without further justification. Shouldn't we be aiming for greater unity and stability across the globe? Isn't that a more hopeful and positive vision than every man for himself?

[@captainretardo]

Because too many policies are lobbied for or influenced by corporations who hold little regard for unity, peace, betterment of mankind etc. corporateeurope.org/power-lobbies/2014/11/corporate-lobby-tour

Whatever progress the Common Market had managed to achieve EU's Euro has undone not to mention the shambles all of Europe is in now because its politicians are not accountable for the mess and corruption they generate.

That would entail the abolition of national sovereignty. Some people groups want to have their own country where they can live together, make their own laws and forge their own destiny. They don't want to have to listen to foreigners in that regard.

forcefully? I call BS on that. The Romans united Europe forcefully, the EU did it democratically.

[@doctorpc1531]

JustABritishGuy555 Identities grow, die, and adapt. Saying that the US had a perfectly unified identity when it was set up is just outlandish.

[@bilfo71]

Very informative analysis thanks

[@marquisdemoo1792]

Actually the European Union was only formed at the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 and the British public were not consulted on this, so it is wrong to say the UK has been part of the EU since 1975 or that the British public voted for it. The vote in 1975 was to join the EEC, that this was intended as a precursor to the EU was not made clear to the British public.

[@waffle2446]

I am mad at the referendum >:(

[@waffle2446]

[@quinnodonnell3906]

well the EU provides lots of benefits in being one of the world's largest trade blocs. If the UK does end up leaving corporations are more likely to pay attention to the EU then Britain because comparably Britain provides less benefits and oppritunity. If Scotland were to be independent, it would most likely need EU membership to be sucsessfull. not to mention it is being apart of a wider European community. something english people seem to forget all too often is that they are European and should be involved in European affairs as much as possible. As for Syrian refugees, it's mandatory for all nations to accept them at their borders, not by EU law, but by UN law. leaving the EU does nothing technically you still must accept refugees.

[@fridgeking6014]

not a problem because they will also take pretty much all the british oil

[@quinnodonnell3906]

+TheAlexanderUchiha by having no enemies?

[@brythonicman3267]

@Peter Tall - What small amount of oil is left is now a paltry $45 per barrel and does not look like getting back to 2014 levels of $86 pb for at least ten years, as the US is trying it's hardest to shrink the Russian economy. As things stand, public expenditure in Scotland is £10,000 per head, public expenditure in England is £8,000 per head, even the hope of Scotland getting EU subsidies in the unlikely event of them leaving the UK would never be to that level, the net EU contributors could not afford it.

[@duirmuid]

O.k. The UK joint the EU (or EEC as it was then) on January 1st 1973, the referendum in 1975 was to see if they wanted to remain in the EEC as it was.

Interestingly, the Isle of Man is not in the UK, and has never been a member of the EU. So it should not be filled in with colours or flags in the maps.

Yh we wont unite religious, national difference and there is a cultural difference between N. Ire and somewhere like Cork, personally i dont want us to reunite but if it did happen N.Ire should be given special democratic privileges to have sub parliament and can opt out i the people and MP's especially hate the law .

[@rafnagust684]

But it still would be a divided Ireland.

[@VioletGiraffe]

Wait, what religious differences? Aren't bout countries christian?

[@ianconn951]

Yeah, but the Catholics want Northern Ireland to be independent and the Protestants want it to stay a part of the UK. It's sociopolitical (the catholics tend to be poorer also) as well as religious/sectarian. Disclaimer: I am only barely informed on this topic.

first of all I don't have a document full of links to things and second I did not mean that the european economy has decreased it's just that it's been growing at a slower rate compared to the rest of the world suggesting it's better to start getting involved with the rest of the world to grow as fast

it'll be fine. the british will never give it away.

Since a lot of people are annoyed at the video suggesting London was only area in England to vote remain, the map he is showing is split into regions, not districts. A lot of districts that voted remain were in a region that overall voted to leave. So he wasn't really wrong.

[@redl1ner170]

I'm spaniard and this is not true. Spain will allow Scotland to enter the EU as long as the scottish do everything according to laws. First they have to get their independence, and then apply to the EU as an independent nation according to the Lisbon Treaty. That's all.

[@oreroundpvp896]

Haha we've fought and won 2 World Wars, and you honestly think Brexit will cause the U.K to fall? That is laughable.

[@brythonicman3267]

Then the Catalans, Basques and Galicians would be pushing for their independence and Spain will be no more, that's why Spanish political leaders were so worried two years ago in the Scottish referendum.

[@redl1ner170]

You clearly know nothing about Spain. Spain is not UK. Spain is not getting out of the EU, and none of our regions will find support for their independence. Plus the pro-independence supporters are a minority in Galicia, Basque Country and even Catalonia...

[@deadlylizard1446]

I hope we stick together and I'm Scottish my opinion on independent has changed drastically from the last referendum I was a strong yes but now I think if the leave it will be a disaster we are unlikely to meet the requirements to join the EU again so we're better as a United Kingdom 🇬🇧.

[@charliemasson4287]

Exept for Spain which may not want seperatists to join the eu *humhumcatalonia* All of Europe would welcome Scotland, since it'd also really annoy the Uk. You scots are fines peoples too, i'd love to visit Scotland one day.

[@mononoke721]

"History never feels like history whilst we're living through it"? It certainly did for me on the 24th of June and even now as we face the aftermath of this referendum. As you say, the future of the UK has never been so uncertain and no one can claim to know what will happen next for sure. It really all depends on the deal the UK makes with Europe that will have a big effect on Scottish and Northern Irish calls for independence. Even just today the possibility that Scotland could remain part of the UK whilst also remaining part of the EU at the same time was brought up as a possibility by Nicola Sturgeon, which sounds like a strange arrangement, but as we are charting new territory with this vote and the UK's unique position - who knows.

Why? Scotland is it's own country at the end of the day and voted to remain. Scotland may decide to look after its own self interests first before being sentimental and hanging on to the UK. Maybe the tone of why the UK is even considering this, doesn't sit well with people North of the border.

[@gabrieleberle4422]

+elstabstab I would have thought english would vote remain and Scots would vote Leav

[@DMPepe]

This fuss about a second referendum is fueled by the separatists, merely taking advantage of the EU issue to split the UK. Not because they're thinking in what's best for the Scottish people, but because they think all Scots should hate the English. And as all hatred in all places it's usually the ones who've never traveled outside of their country or don't know people from their neighbor country, who are tricked into believing all that nationalistic crap.

+1Conor Greece was not able to pay back their loan in early July. They received a bailout from the EU. Majority of that money came from the UK and Germany. The same happened with Spain around a year ago. The Socialist countries in the EU are going into recession due to massive spending and relying on the capitalistic countries in the EU for bailout money.
