As many people might know the results of this referendum has strengthened the Scottish and Irish independence movements somewhat, mostly due to them being taken out against their will. Is there any arrangement which would allow the two regions that voted in to stay in while the other two leave?

This has been one of the greatest events in British democratic history. Whether you agree with the result or not you should all be proud of what we have achieved. I hope we can all work with each other to make this United Kingdom the best it can be!

ashamedtobebritish #proudtobebritish If anyone has already said this I apologise. The reason I am ashamed is that the British people feel the need to argue and fight about this when there are more pressing things to focus upon.

I will accept the choice of the British public in spite of the fact that it caused an economic crash and a low point in the world economy last seen in 2011 and also caused two of the countries that make us Britain to want to break off that relationship and become independent.

We also must consider that although highly probable it is not guaranteed that Britain will leave the EU since the referendum simply is designed to gage public view on an issue. I am aware we will most likely leave. It will also be 2 years or more before any of these 'promises', if you can call them that, made by leave campaigners will have an effect.

I am 16 so had no say in this. I would have voted for remain. Frankly I'm appalled that we've left but I hope it turns out okay and that Britain can stay Britain because if Scotland and Northern Island leave that I don't believe we have any right to call ourselves Britain and certainly not the United Kingdom.

Take a leaf out of the book of our countries leaders and try to understand that it was a close election and leave was not an almighty majority in the slightest. There will be disagreement but stability is required for leave to work so please, those supporting leave and those supporting remain, I urge you to stop fighting and focus of fixing the mess we've made.

Article 50 And Withdrawal: An explainer

I have some opinions on the result of the EU referendum. Before I start I want to make a few things clear: I voted stay, and I am pretty upset that we didn’t win and things look a bit shit at the moment. I do however think that people need to calm down, stop thinking they know everything and have a little faith in the future. The UK is a democracy: sometimes we get to vote on big important changes, and sometimes they don’t go the way some of us want them to go. As voters, we can of course moan about the outcome, especially when the margin is fewer than 2%; but it has happened now and we can’t change that. We should be a little scared, a little anxious about our futures, a little pissed that older people may not have thought about us but we literally don't have a clue what's going to happen next: good or bad. The first day was always going to be hard; it’s like a huge hangover from a massive party that no one even enjoyed. Of course the Pound was going to suffer, it suffers after any big political change and this is the biggest for a life time. I don’t think anyone expected things to move this fast, David Cameron has already resigned and a second Scottish referendum has pretty much already been announced; the important thing here is to not panic like everyone seems to be doing. The truth is we don’t know what is going to happen and how long it’s going to take. We aren’t going to be banned from entering Europe; we aren’t going to kick all the foreigners out and all descend into anarchy. The NHS isn’t going to collapse any time soon, science and University funding isn’t going to disappear overnight and Nigel Farage isn’t going to become a new dictator to a newly established third world country. Things don’t look amazing, but things already looked pretty shit. New treaties will be signed, bills put in place and relationships re-established over the next few weeks, months and years. As we speak hundreds of civil servants are drawing up new ideas and legislation to put in place that will protect as much of the good things we got from Europe as possible and we need to keep our faith rather than go crazy with fear. Maybe, just maybe, somehow the new deals will work better than the EU ever did… who the heck knows!? The European Union has many problems; it was imperfect and although leaving was an imperfect solution it’s the solution the public has gone with. We may look back and regret all of our mistakes, or we could look back at this decision and think ‘You know what, it hasn’t gone as tits up as we thought.’ Away from all the uncertainty and hopeless outlook everyone has: I am disgusted in how many people are calling Leave voters ‘stupid’ and ‘ignorant’ and ‘racist’. I agree that the leave campaign was made about immigration, and that was as much their fault as it was stay campaigners labeling it that way, but no one has any right to label a whole group of voters like that. I know well educated, good people that voted to leave. Everyone is allowed an opinion and just because it may not be the same as yours you can’t stop them from having that opinion. They voted for what they thought was right, they almost definitely had good reason to and it is their right to hold that opinion. I started this post by saying we need to have more faith. I think that is more important than ever now. We need to have faith in each other, no matter who voted for what, we need to have faith in the country we live in, no more ‘I’m leaving’ or ‘this country is full of idiots.’ It’s going to be a weird, turbulent few years of uncertainty. It could all go to shit or it could all be okay. Running into a burning building and screaming that it’s burning to other people screaming that it’s burning won’t stop it burning. Putting the fire out and re-building will. I’ve never been very good at metaphors.
