If we vote for Brexit what happens

Referendum results add up to 100%. Polls don't.
And people say it's the leavers who are uneducated.
So why are you posting it?
I did not say anything about 100% in any case - just making assumptions like all the other Leavers
The point being that 44% is less than 52% or more importantly, less than 50%. Whatever you were trying to show, you failed miserably unless you plan to post the same poll over the course of the coming months and years to show the convergence.To err is human, but it is against company policy.0 -

that is about 0.01% of global stocks
and it seems that european (excluding UK) stocks suffered the 'worst'
so get out of europe fast or just treat it as a blip.

"Bank of England rate cut 'a foregone conclusion' after UK business activity suffers 'biggest ever' fall"UK business activity suffered its biggest fall ever, data from Markit showed this morning.
The Business Activity Index fell to 47.4 in July, from 52.3 in June, signalling a fall in UK services output.
This was the first contraction since December 2012, and the rate of decline was the strongest since March 2009.
Moreover, the month-on-month decline in the Index in the latest period, at 4.9 points, was the largest observed since the survey began in July 1996.0 -
Another article about service sector decline

"UK services sector contracts sharply after Brexit vote"
"Markit said companies widely reported that the outcome of the EU referendum had weighed on new business inflows during the month."
"It's too early to say if the surveys will remain in such weak territory in coming months, leaving substantial uncertainty over the extent of any potential downturn. However, the unprecedented month-on-month drop in the all-sector index has undoubtedly increased the chances of the UK sliding into at least a mild recession."I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

One thing I'm pretty confident of, knowing how our government responds to an economic crisis (lower rates, money printing) I'm glad I'm not an HPC wisher waiting for a 50% fall in property prices.
EDIT: Let me rephrase. I'm glad I'm not stuck out of the housing market thinking brexit will give me an affordable property. It would be nice if prices dropped so I could trade up, but I don't expect anything significant.0
