Brexit: what happens now?
With volatile international markets, a plunge in the pound, and the resignation of the British PM — what does the future hold for the UK and the international community?
With 51.9% of the vote in the Brexit referendum, Britain has voted to leave the European Union.
Those who wanted Britain to leave are calling it a new dawn for an independent United Kingdom.
However, with the resignation of the British PM, a plunge in the pound, and volatile international markets — the slogan "keep calm and carry on" comes to mind for many.
The Current delves into the consequences of this historic decision for Canada, Europe, and the international community.
'[The EU] is about to lose a NATO member, it's about to lose its most liberal economic voice, its only English-speaking country. This is a dead loss for the EU and the danger is there could be "me too" referendums.'- Eric Reguly
