I am surprised there isn't a thread for this issue already.
A midnight tonight (Mountain time) the polls open and the British will vote on whether or not they will stay in the EU.
Many world leaders and NGOs have warned about the potential financial consequences for Britain if they choose to leave the EU - and the list is indeed long.
If they vote yes, our own stocks will most likely take a hit as well.
The "leave" vote has had a lot of hate and racism associated with it as well ( although that is unfair to the majority of those voting leave).

John Oliver's video is below, he is pro staying, so assumed potential bias.
