That the UK will still have to follow thousands of European rules to retain access to the common market? That adopting something similtar to the highly praised Norway model still includes the four freedoms, including movement and to a large extent immigration? That the UK is still subject to the ECHR which can overrule national courts on matters of human rights?
In fairness, Leave (or at least Farage and the economists for Brexit) have made it pretty clear that access to the single market is not the objective. Nor have people voted for that. We're out, and if the government tries to keep us half-in people won't like it. The closest the electorate will accept (and, in my view, should accept) is an FTA.

So when exactly will the UK leave?
Within the year? Next year?
Two years' time, most likely.

many people pissed at the older folk who apparently pushed it for leave
We knew this was gonna be the case from the start; if they want to be pissed at anybody, it should be their own campaign.

Let's all calm down a second and stop acting as if Nigel Farage is ever, or was ever, going to have a serious hand in policy post-Brexit. . .
I think it's not really just about Farage, but about the Leave campaign as a whole.
Not that Remain had a flawless campaign, but Leave made a whole lot of relatively unsubstantiated and misleading claims along with very big promises. I also don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say that a very large chunk of their voters are not particularly educated and have a limited understanding of the complexities of this issue, being swayed by great buzzwords and fearmongering equal to that of the Remain campaign. It's practically impossible for Leave to live up to all that, so potential public backlash is not unlikely at all.
I don't disagree; my point is that I'd rather wait for the Tories (probably) who will be making the decisions and see what they do, before we start calling for heads to roll.

Populism on the rise in the West again.
Populism in this country has been going full steam ahead for a while.

I for one am not excited for the coming economic uncertainty
Pound has stabilised and is recovering; Carney gave a good announcement from the BoE.
As someone who knows nothing about economics, I had no idea what he was saying. Could you dumb it down for me?
He basically said that the Bank of England is on stand-by to provide funds to financial institutions and stabilise the financial system.

Well that's certainly a break in the clouds.
Say that when Boris Johnson is prime minister
"A member of the Conservative Party, Johnson considers himself a 'One-Nation Tory' and has been described as a libertarian due to his association with both economically liberal and socially liberal policies."
>libertarian
>economically liberal
waht
Economically liberal doesn't mean the same thing here as it does there.

I'm expecting UKIP gains in the North and the Midlands from Old Labour.
Also be interesting to see who will become the new Chancellor.

Haha let's belittle people unhappy with the result how dare they have a differing political opinion.
There's a difference between unhappy and 'Noel Gallagher on Brexit Referendum - "What are you asking the people for? 99 percent of the people are thick as pig shit."' rising to the top of r/unitedkingdom.
No there isn't.
You can be unhappy without being a petty fuck, which many are. And I don't know why we would expect otherwise. . . You always get petty fucks on the losing side of a vote. Fuck, you get petty fucks on the winning side too.

Rumours circulating Downing Street that he might walk out and announce his resignation. I doubt it, personally, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong over the past 24 hours.
Hopefully Osborne goes.

putting itself in a position where other large and more euro-favoring countries are now more powerful relatively speaking.
I won't lie, I can't see it turning out any other way. If the Euro is to survive, the countries of the Union are going to have to get a lot closer. If it's going to survive, perhaps it is a good thing the UK is out of the way. That is assuming, of course, people agree that closer union is worthwhile for the remaining countries. Alternatively we could see more referenda and the whole thing could just come crashing down. . .

Poorly done Britain. This was a great chance to actually achieve Union reform.
I think it's fairly clear by now that most British people do not believe that reform of the Union is not a burden appropriate for our country. And why should it? We never voted to join originally with the expectation that it would be anything more than an economic union.

And Foyle yields an 80% Remain vote, bringing Remain back in the lead.
That's probably going to be it for me. Almost 2am and I have plans for tomorrow. Here's to hoping I get to wake up with good news.
