UK election: Johnson's Conservatives pick up massive majority, wreak havoc in Labour heartlands

True. The EU's collective GDP was 17.28 trill (as of the final 2017 figures: Source - World Bank, and compared to the US at 19.39 trill during the same time period). The Big 5 members held approx. 72% of EU GDP capability. How long can Germany (3.68 trill), France (2.58 trill), Italy (1.93 trill) and Spain (1.5 trill) withstand being the main heavyweight economic forces driving the EURO after losing the UK's (2.8 trill, which is 22% of the Big 5 GDP and 16% of the EU GDP)? The Big 4 would now have a combined total of only 66% of EU's GDP while remaining solvent viable enough to continue doing the heavy lifting. That's quite a significant in the economic strain they're gonna have to shoulder while the Euro drops against the dollar (which is good for the US). The EU has got to figure out that their Member Countries have sovereignty within their own Countries, and with the exception of the "economic" parts of the alliance, get their collective noses out of each other's National Business before they lose any more Members either to Sovereignty issues or individual Member's financial loads exceeding their capabilities. It's bad enough for the EU that the UK got pushed to far and voted to withdraw. That's just my opinion; what say you?

PS: The Scottish Referendum remains to be seen, but it could loom upon the future of the UK. I'm sure we will hear noises.

LTC Eugene Chu Exactly! Brexit is a Horrible Idea but Jeremy Corbyn Sucked Too. Choice of Bad and Really Bad and Britain went with Really Bad. The Only Up side was Scotland. More Ammo for the Scottish Independence Party and they Did Rather Well.
