Yup. They are completely broken for UK-wide politics.

Lies and methods to achieve something debatably worthwhile is one thing. Overseeing and triggering the potential break up of a nation is quite the other.
Fecking horror. He sounds very polished these days but the moment he has real power his true colors will come out. Not looking forward to the state of socitey over the next 3-4 years.He is now a VERY powerful voice on all future UK politics. What have the North done????!!!!!!
So you're the one to blame for thisI wanted Labour to win last year, I wanted to remain in the EU this year
Some of these wins for the leave campaign are crushing, it's nearly 2-1 I some of the councils.
Where as virtually all the remain wins are tight as feck.
I thought this whole thing might just be some grand political exercise to appease a segment of the political and voting population, and give some weight to further negotiations with Europe.
Looks like it's backfired a bit

The daft thing is that non-EU migration is already over 100,000 comfortably.
We control that, yet seem to have done little about it. Little to suggest leaving the EU will actually change immigration figures to be honest. Maybe a slight reduction in EU numbers.
Labour is buried until someone revolutionary comes along who actually changes the mindset of people.
Sentiment in this county has swung big from left to right. The question I wonder is how far.
Noises coming out that Birmingham has voted to leave. If that's true, feck me.
This is pretty much exactly what David Cameron thought. His arrogance in believing people would never go against him has been costly.

Wait. this is really happening? I never took this seriously.
Leave 700k up now.
He needs to go the way of Ramsey Bolton.
I think you sort of answered your own question there; if it politically expedient to ease off, that's what they'll do. And remember that even some Tories stood firm against Osborne's tax credit reforms.
So much is going to happen. It's just impossible to know.
Everyone please stop it with the Game of Thrones mentions. Third time a GoT reference has been made in this thread.
Off to bed for real now.

It's going to be hard to do if our economy is kind of fecked. And some of those Tories included Ian Duncan Smith with his bizarre crocodile tears, highlighting the self-serving, selfish nature of some of these Tories.
I assume you share my fears about the complete lack of opposition - given this result is likely to destroy Labour?
Yeah...I'm split. On one hand, the references are very apt and mostly fit, but then obviously they're spoilers and that.
shocking at how out of touch politico's and hangers on have been about the mood of the nation.
They get what they deserve. Unfortunately, they force it on everyone else too.
Am I right in thinking it's a bit rich of the UK people to complain about the rise of the Trump in the US of A?
Chicago. Lived in LA for a few years and Spain before that. Gonna have to move again if Trump gets in.
We don't have control over EU immigration though and that's simply too big an issue. If you read my post, all 5 EU colleagues came over here without a job first. Two of the three non-EU came over as students and are on visas, one was married to a Brit.
Just stick to spolier from season 1-5
For example Cameron needs to go the way of Joffrey
This upcoming Birmingham result will seal it.
Looks like brum is going to be tight to. Ffs
Im totally confused at how he won last election with such a huge majority and mandate
No. That's a stretch, as much as this hurts right now.
Leave 800k ahead, no going back.
We get less EU then non EU, and all your colleagues are working and paying taxes so where is the problem?
This is their chance to compete. Hopefully they've outdone us and Clinton will win in November. If not, Idiocracy is going worldwide.
But what suggestion is there that leaving the EU will actually influence immigration when it has not led to a decrease in non-EU immigration?
After I graduated Uni, I moved to Spain and got a job teaching English. Was tough going initially but I ended up managing a hotel at night. After learning Spanish, I moved to LA for a change of scene. I over stayed my visa and married a bartender I met in Vegas. Got my green card and 13 years later I'm still here.
That old chestnut.
All Scottish regions voted remain, thanks again England.
That's that then, UK has left the EU. fecking hell.
His only competition was from an awkward nerd and the Scots have replaced Labour with the SNP
Literally all regions here support being in the EU.
In an age of globalisation -- economies of scale and economic unions being formed globally, I cant see how the UK can stand alone -- worse still when Wales, NI and Scotland apply for independence.
