I think if you ran a second referendum tomorrow you'd see a huge swing towards remain as people realise the Leave campaign were dishonest in their fear mongering propaganda while the industry experts were proven correct in their predictions.

52% of a massive turnout? That's a lot of fishermen and idiots.
Is Cameron the biggest political fool of this time ?
Leaving such a major decosion that will have rimple effects on the world economy to a referendum where more than half of the people will vote with emotion instead of their head and most dont have a clue about the consequences of their decision.
This is a shoolbook example of why pure democracy is a bad idea.

Fair fecks to Scotland who want to stay in the EU, hope they get their independence and are allowed to join back.
Every point itself is pretty realistic, true. But it's not realistic to expect that all of them will actually happen. It's not like the new UK government will be totally clueless. They'll try their best to make things as smooth as possible.
UK had already the best deal in EU. EU won't give something even better, otherwise it is a plea for other countries to leave EU.
You'd also have all the non votes who wanted to remain as well...
Exactly.
Their website must have thousands of people using it - very slow for me!
I'm seeing a lot of people who voted Leave asking what this actually means now. Jesus (and I) wept.
I've lost 10 pounds on this leave diet already.
Yeah, it's freezing for me too.
Precisely.
Democracy simply doesn't work when the majority are not educated enough to make the decision.
This is worse than Trump winning the Presidency!
Over 80k within 5 hours is astonishing. Seeing that guy on BBC saying he voted to leave without realising what he had done was crazy too.
I agree with the one poster who said if there was a 2nd EU referendum, it might be a different result.
Saying that apart from cities like London, Liverpool, Manchester (and obviously Scotland) the majority went with Leave. Even Wales which was a shock.
And don't forget the millions of traditional labour voters that Corbyn deliberately didn't canvas
There absolutely should be some sort of entry test to be allowed to vote on matters of such importance. Or a participatory democracy where your voting power is equal to the amount the vote affects you.
Donald Tusk and Holland's have said UK must leave.
That's code for saying we aren't going to give you single market without free movement.

yeah it is, I've just entered details but now stuck on white screen for 5mins
Leavers are bricking it now
Incredible really. This is surreal. Feels like a Monty Python sketch.facts, facts, facts....boring, boring, boring
Polish people complaining about immigration
you couldn't make this up!
If the same turnout and same % as voted remain, voted for a new 'Stay in EU' party, it would win a landslide.
Wow France were one of the last countries I thought would have a referendum
Exactly:
"I woke up this morning & I didn't see any immigrants leaving with their suitcases!"
I've see this said a bit. What do you mean ?
I don't think that's quite true, we are only in day one - everyone knew that the markets would react poorly and the pound would weaken. This isn't news to anyone. Let's see where we are in 5 years and measure that against the predictions of the Remain campaign.
Someone at work - I said I still haven't heard a reasonable reason to leave, and he said he just doesn't like the 'all the daft laws they make us abide by'. I asked which those were and he had no answer, but he did say the other day how mad he was about a fisherman that had to repackage all his fish because of an EU regulation.
Fantastic reason.
Fantastic reason.
Some moron on my Facebook stream just wrote "Stop moaning were (sic) out and be thankful you've woken up today and get to live another day!".
Surely not how to win friends and influence people.
That's just the FTSE 100. Over £500bn has been wiped off the FTSE already.

Unbelievable
Right wing liberals here? They really are clueless then. Our parties on the right are about as liberal as Franco.
You didnt read the statement I made... people WITH third level education!! I had to exercise some serious self control here because I could get banned for the things I want to say to you right now. You have proved the fact that immigration is a huge issue because of the European Union. Honestly, how many people going to Ireland would go there for it's thriving economy and jobs market over the last decade?
By the way the numbers in those ALL COUNTRIES are bigger for Emigrants than Immigrants since 2009... haha way to go proving your point, you proved mine you feckwit!
I think it's safe to say that a lot of people voted blindly.

crashing due to numbers
Petitions is down for maintenance
We know about it and we're working on it.
Please try again later.
Great. We crashed it guys. Just like we did the economy. ffs.
My neighbour(75) voted leave, just asked me what I think will happen to the economy now. Since I'm an economist.
I'm glad they didn't think about that before they voted.
