Between joy and sadness, the world is divided on UK's vote to leave EU

UK slammed the door on the European Union at the end of a Thursday evening referendum with 51.9% of votes (17,410,742) in favor of leaving the EU.

Early reactions saw the pound stumble on the trading market, losing about 10 cents against the dollar in a few hours, but many are still divided on whether this is a win for Britain, the world or not.

The UK vote sent the pound sterling to its lowest levels since the 1980s, and stocks in Asia are tanking. US and UK stock futures are also plummeting, signaling a brutal day ahead. The surprise result will rattle Europe and shape the nation’s place in the world for years to come. Oil prices plunged on the news.

Most Europeans are aware that their daily lives should soon suffer the practical consequences of the country's exit from the European Union. But some are just still undecided.
