Prepare your popcorn, folks. The UK will crawl back to the EU in a few years.

So, the UK Prime Minister is resigning this year, correct? So, the Pound dropped tremendously, the UK lost their AAA credit rating, independence movements in Scotland (and other states in the UK?) are growing rapidly as a result. Anything else happen as a result? Just curious. As an outsider looking in, it seems it had some pretty severe and quick consequences as a result.

The short of it is, NOTHING has happened yet. Invoking Article 50 only BEGINS the process of negotiating an exit from the EU, and Article 50 has not been invoked. And ALREADY the pound has dropped into a 30-year all time low, meaning if the same pound course lasts for even a year, the average English citizen will have lost 3000£ / year off their salaries. Meanwhile a year in the EU costs the average English citizen 100£ / year. So... if this goes on for a year, then Brexit will have cost them 30 years of being in the EU alone in hard cash.
So yeah shit goes down bruh

Yeah, but by possibly taking that 30 years in one year, perhaps they will be able to launch a strong immediate growth in the year after. "The night is darkest before the dawn." With the value of the pound dropping, they could actually use that to their advantage the same as China has. They could use the higher foreign buying power to bring in more companies for jobs, as well as having cheaper costs for tourism, again boosting income. My point being that this could end up being a very good business move for England.

Not to mention that the referendum was "won" by populist lies like that the UK pays 350 million to the EU every single day

China is essentially a new world power which still has room for growth; however, Britain has limited growth and now that they have committed into leaving the EU which stimulated growth for Britain will now stagnate or decline at the very lease.
