Fair fecks mate.

Now don't hate me, but I voted leave possibly for similar reasons a lot of Scots went for independence; sovereignty, I believe in local rule.

I can't believe being pro EU has become such a left wing thing, I can't get my head around socialists who want centralised power far, far away.

That said, I'm Cornish and a bit proud, but I wouldn't want independence here like some call for.

...and despite having voted leave today, I'm panicking now.
But the UK already has this, mate. I understand the EU has some major problems, and even considered leaving (leaned towards it what seems like a long, long time ago), but the fact is that the UK is still an independent, sovereign nation.

The irony of the leave campaign message of making Britain great again.

Nope. Just embarrassed the country.

Need to get poll up to see where the members are thinking of emigrating to. Not joking.

Meh, I'm still not sure. Referendum still happens, so Scotland still turns against Labour. At best, Labour sneak a minority. Even if we don't see a referendum though, it's still looming there in the background, giving UKIP more time to gain support. We'd possibly have seen Miliband in 2020 doing what Dave did last year - offering an EU referendum to try and keep dissenters to UKIP happy.
Yeah hard to judge one way or the other, still think it'd be a better situation.

Farage. feck. Sickening.

It'll be deliciously ironic when UKIP become irrelevant and Farage fades into obscurity, the bastard.

Jesus, Farage is so dangerous. Talking about how they have managed to take back control without having to use any bullets.

Well that depends... I can't accept that the only reason it's gone down is uncertainty. There is real economic damage leaving the EU does, and that is not something you bounce back from. We are heading to a recession, and potentially one worse than 2008.

Pridictable.
What they don't understand is that, voting out doesn't stop migrants trying to get there from Calais.
Didn't you hear? All the migrants will now turn around and go home. It's game over for them.
