but everyone was expecting fear of losing your job to win the day.... we forgot the amount of people whose jobs are minimum hour contracts or hardly making a living and are better of on the dole! so the fear of losing your job isn't their among them.Emotion always carries the day....or I should say Fear.
EU Referendum Results Thread | Leave have won, Cameron resigns
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Yes. Labour is finished.
193/382 declared.
Leave around 470k ahead.
Leave around 470k ahead.
Nope you should be OK. The process of leaving will not be instant, but gradual.
I wonder if there'll be riots tomorrow
It could be the same to what happened to the Liberals after WW1. From Government to obscurity in 10 years.
This is ridiculous. Can't believe this is happening.
You're Scottish? Where from?
You may just get your wish if Brexit happens.
Free movement will still be in action for a solid couple of years yet, just get over there, dig your feet in and marry a nice Dutch girl.
Exciting at first, worrying now, with over half declared. History being made.
Cameron is done, if we vote to leave. He has no wish to stay on. Only the Leave campaign want him to stay.
Nah. Labour is fecked. As is the left in this country generally.
It was built upon the self interest of the working classes in the North, and they have turned away from Westminster and turned away from reason. If you don't pander to their anti-immigration sentiment you will not win back their votes, but the educated/graduate/liberal-elite left want nothing to do with such sentiment. I don't think the same party can appeal to both any longer.
195/382, over 500k Leave now.
I lumped £50 on remain before an it returns £150. Suspect it'd be a bit more now as my cash out is only £19. Still think remain will win even though I voted out.2/7 1/5 3/10 1/4 1/4 1/3
Odds available RIGHT NOW on a LEAVE win!!
at half way stage of regions declared (195/382), its 52:48 in favour of LEAVE (500k majority).
Better or worse, history is being made.
Better or worse, history is being made.
Thank god, this is still absolutely ridiculous though.
I can't see anything else than another ref soon. And I'll be voting yes again. Mentalists south of the border.
We seem incompatible with the UK at this stage. We are utterly against them on this issue, we abhor the UK's main anti-EU party, and are likely to have as our PM a man so disliked that the fecking Scottish Tories are going to disassociate from him.
All the economic arguments concerning how doomed we supposedly were in 2014 seem so irrelevant now seeing this. Wasted arguments from Tory and Labour figures so arrogant they believed nothing could ever go against them.
Looks settled to me. It's disappointing but on the other hand it's a relief for me that i rejected a job offer and a move for the Uk. Prefer to stay in the continent with this kind of enviroment. I still wish the best for uk people. Polarizing referendum but it's the peoples choice that should prevail
There's going to be another Scottish Referendum, then it will just be England Wales and Northern Ireland, with no EU. Next few years are going to be insane.
Yup.
Well of course we've bungled our implementation of devolution, that goes without saying. However in the aftermath of last year's GE, some Labour MPs were expressing the need for more English focused policies (admittedly this was just after the SNP's landslide).
And campaigned on a patronising 'you can trust me when I say this to you' ticket - the bloke tells lies every time he opens his over-sized upper class trap
you can say that again!
Literally time to move to Toronto, and take my student debt with me. feck this, If only there was a way to purge stupid people.
One can argue that Labour have done worse than the Conservatives. The conservatives voted as they were always likely to vote.
Remain depended on the Labour vote. And Labour voters have deserted
this is beyond a joke.
Christ this must be the poshest person in history on the BBC
The Boomer generation, who've shaped the late 20th and early 21st centuries with the their post-war progressive counter culture, have left a terrible legacy of debt and inequality in their wake, by becoming the very anarchic obstacles they strove against, refusing to relinquish or compromise their power for the betterment of the next generation.
The fact the young no longer have agency over their own future is a big, big problem.
I do wonder what happens in London this weekend. Riots and violence wouldn't be a shock.
The economy has been on its arse for years in the EU
So I worked this out and if you changed £1000 into dollars at 11pm last night, you'd have had $1500. If you changed them back now, you'd have made £68.
First Everton's defense, now this. I'm beginning to worry about your prescience.
The left in the UK is fecked for a long time
Tories will in in charge for a long time, without the EU they will do what they want and the working class refuse to back industrial action so all the power is with government and employers
The north and Wales voting against the EU is so against their own interests it's quite galling

I feel Corbyn's stand offish nature really hurt the traditional Labour vote on this, I wouldn't be surprised if this triggered leadership elections for both parties.
Yeah, good post. I have nothing against old people and hate to generalise (because I do know sensible Remainers, and there will be informed Brexiters), but it's quite depressing as someone quite young to know that this issue is being swayed by people much, much less likely to see the long-term effects of it.
How many no voters like yourself do you think this could sway to yes? I've always held the opinion that there's just too many unionists in this country to ever have a majority voting for independence but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Regardless of where we all stand politically, we have an opportunity to effect real change for the UK now. My fear is that the brexit will be dealt with piecemeal, leaving problems for the future, like the devolution settlements have done.
The leave wins in the "smaller" areas are quite big whilst the remain wins are quite close (which is
