(587 posts)I think you have a greatly exaggerated idea of the importance of UK membership in the EU to the global economy.
I know you're a newcomer to the UK, but you may be surprised to learn there has been a diverse group of foreigners here for many years, and nobody thinks they're going to "get rid of them" by voting for Brexit.
But it won't matter when you move over to the mainland, eh?

(15,445 posts)The break-up of the already fractious UK can't be far behind Brexit.
Scotland will vote itself out of the UK and into Europe as a sovereign nation.
Sectarian violence will rear its head once again in Northern Ireland.
Republican/Nationalist factions will force a referendum to opt out of the UK and into the Irish Republic.
England and Wales will end up diminished and isolated.
"Leave" partisans will live to regret this. Or, if not them, their children and grandchildren.
The "leave" faction skewed decidedly older, so their days are numbered. That said, the repercussions of their unfortunate choice will outlive them.
Sad day. Racism, isolationism and nationalism have won this battle.
