EU Referendum Results Thread | Leave have won, Cameron resigns
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
That, gentlemen, is our next prime minister.
Well, naturally i hope so.
It's funny, if Labour weren't called Labour (bit of a hang-up there personally), and had a slightly different policy in a few areas, i could feel comfortable voting for a centre-left party. The opinion of the Left toward the modern EU was always a rather big fly in the ointment.
That's incredibly hopeful. It is true the huge moves today are exacerbated by uncertainty but in reality there is real damage to our economy which is also driving this, not just uncertainty.
Consider it like this. If the GBP had dropped half of what it has, or if the FTSE had dropped half of what it has, then it would still be a monumental decline. That's how bad this is.
lucky git!
Salford 57:43 in favour of LEAVE
Nope. 50% plus one vote is enough.
Yeah, just a simple majority will do.
But is is so close that Cameron would be in serious difficulty even with a win.
I am absolutely stunned. I am genuinly terrified of the future right now, a Trump led United states and now this.
you reckon it is becuase Peter Lim bought Salford city?
We are an independent nation, but the fundamental issue with the EU is the law on free movement within the EU. We are a great nation, and perfectly understandable people would want to move here. However, the level of immigration we are seeing is simply not sustainable. I am all for controlled immigration (and I include skilled and non skilled), but not complete free movement that put certain things we think make Britain great on breaking point.
I'll make two simple examples
- my son needs speech therapy. Not a big issue as a lot of kids have it. We have been on the waiting list for over a year, you know why...after challenging why it's taking so long, i quote...the number of non-English speaking children in the system are a priority at the moment. I've paid taxes since I was 19 and can't have been told to pay private because the NHS can'take support him.
- my team of 8 analysts. 2 Polish, 1 Slovak, 1 Greek, 1 German, 1 Chinese, 1 Chilean, 1 Pakistani. All have arrived within the last 3 years. All amazing and great people who would get in on the point system for sure. my point is simply this level is not sustainable as 5 arrived without a job first.
I called 55% but was expecting it too be even more. Not really met anyone who said remain here.
1/12 1/20 1/12 1/12

Most definitely. Wishful thinking completely.
The queen can kiss her Union goodbye.
Us leaving the EU was always possible, but surely Trump can't get in.
Tell my why this will be okay... and not just Boris slowly diminishing public services?
Leave is now 600k ahead.
It might as well be 1/100000 because it's happening.
We already have control of non-EU immigration, yet it is still incredibly high. Why is it not being controlled, then? And why the feck will Brexit change that?
Wow, so stunned.
The pen is mightier than the pencil apparently

They will just be talking about making the timing appear civilised. Or they do a deal they can go back on at any time (Dave will know this).
Still needs a patsy though, the guy that brings him down is still gonna be a bad guy, so the big hitters have to tread carefully

David Cameron will go down as the man who took Britain out of Europe and Broke up the Union. What a legend.
How the hell will this Government and opposition party implement LEAVE when they and all their advisers passionately believe we should REMAIN? Its a complete headfukc.
I voted yes in the Scottish referendum, but I might actually campaign for the next one in a years time. I want away from these clowns - the ones in Westminster who commissioned this daft vote.
Modern politics is basically Game of Thrones.
I know it seems comparatively small, but what happens with Gibraltar? Their remain vote was absurdly high, and surely being out of the EU will be an incredible inconvenience for them.
Has to be the worst Prime Minister in modern history now. For this alone.
I always thought like this but after today I'm genuinely uncertain about anything.
A frighteningly large number of people seem to use their vote in protest rather than rationally. Trump is anti-establishment.
Granted he has alienated far more people relatively and so inherently his chances are lower but I wouldn't put it past the Americans.
Anyway, we have our own problems to deal with evidently.
who will be delighted to gain his new shiny cabinet seat as a thank you gift from King Boris afterwards
Its over, I give up on the United Kingdom, its going to be a disjointed kingdom now.
it never sunk in how mad it is that we could do something as massive leave the EU based on such a small difference in vote.
Is surely the main argument for another election. It's going to be awful, just awful.
An utter, utter embarrassment of a human being tbh. He's spent his entire career making little moves to remain in power and do what benefits him, while never committing to anything particularly concrete. If there's one good coming of this it's that his lizard mate George Osborne will be spending the rest of his political career doing lines on the backbenches.
Well, I guess Mi5 couldn't be arsed last night.
