REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

It won't be the 4 years Gove and the blond gorilla want though

I agree - that seems to be a little unrealistic on their part. 2 years from October is probably achievable but with a bit of pain. I see no point in trying to tie the timetable to a general election that might or might not happen in 2020.

Darlo - I stand corrected - it is 48.1%! Rounding was clearly never a strong point for me.

Frank - a very interesting point you raise. And it shows the inherently dirty campaign in the worst light. This has to be a time of reconciliation or we are going to find it progressively more difficult to implement the things that now need to happen to reflect the views of the electorate. Calling each other names in the aftermath achieves nothing.

No not really obviously. Though I care about politics about as much as I care about the soil industry.

I don't really care about politics as such, but I do now fear for the future of our NHS, public services, and everything else the likes of Gove and Johnson want to get their grubby little mits on. I also care about prejudice and creating divisions in society, which judging by the reaction on FB from the leavers in my age group is only going to get worse.

I put that ahead of the price of importing car parts, and the price of craft beer. Just. Maybe not beer.
 
While all that is lovely, as was the earlier one splitting it by voter age, they don't change the overall position really. We have voted to come out. Let the electoral analysts paw over such data, it doesn't change one jot what has happened. Decision done. The job now is finding a way to implement it without getting riots in London and instant independence movements from Scotland and also possibly Northern Ireland. Scotland will come, of that I am sure, but we need to encourage them to take a waiting brief and then disconnect when the two year Article 50 period is done should that be the plan. No point in them coming out and then going back in.

Christ knows what they are going to do currency-wise though if they secede.
 
Fucking great:

The London Economic
‏@LondonEconomic
The UK is no longer the world's 5th largest economy. The £ has fallen so far that France has overtaken us. #EUref
 
Eh? I am trying to be as reconciliatory as I can.

How you win says a lot more about you as a person than how you lose. You might want to think about that.
 
Don't worry - at least the NHS is safe with all this guaranteed money going there.

I think people who thought it was the wrong decision yesterday will still think it's the wrong decision today and are entitled to say so. Just as you are entitled to feel pleased that a majority voted in your direction and talk about that.

Much like after the general election, the winning side doesn't get a free pass from criticism and analysis just by virtue of winning.
 
Apparently Farage has said: "And we did this w/o firing a single bullet!"

WTF??! Distasteful cuntrag.

Hasn't he disappeared in a puff of smoke yet? Surely his reason for visiting us on this planet has now been fulfilled.

I think that after the initial shock members on here like Paddy have been really gracious in their defeat and looking towards "what happens next"
 
@Paddy. And that's the reason Scotland won't become Independent. They would have to accept the Euro, change their economy, relinquish their benefits from the UK and accept a change in governmental structure.

When the cost of all that is put to the Scots there is no way they'll vote to be independent.

I'm not concerned about the terrorist McGinnis calling for a vote as that is what he has always wanted.

I don't think the borders will change as Switzerland and Norway do not have difficult procedures. I'm not one for a bright new vision and its damning that Farage has already told the first lie (on ITV to Piers Morgan of all people). I hope we get this right and it's encouraging that Mark Carney has said financially we're OK.

I've seen distasteful stuff on social media from the Leave camp and I hope we do not give the bigots and racists within that camp a voice, I hope we go back to ridiculing and demonising the scum that they are.

Overall, it could be great, it could be shit, who knows.

yes, it'll be interesting to see what the reaction will be if some of the things people were expecting don't actually happen.

Are you insinuating that they told porkies in their campaign......?

Well, if one of Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, etc. decide they don't want to plug the £350m (or whatever the net is) gap and decides to come out we will be in a very strong position as the first country to exit.

There is no desire, and I mean zero desire, for anyone bar the extreme right AfD to leave the EU. This is reflected in the general populace which isn't very eurosceptic at all.
