This assertion that it's hypocritical for an immigrant wanting to Leave is based upon the idea of them closing the door behind themselves.

If you think it's hypocritical for them to want tighter immigration controls then I'd love to know the reasoning as that's something very different.

I find it a very negative accusation thrown their way

It's not about tighter controls... we'll have tighter controls if we remain anyway. It's about incredibly restrictive controls that may as well be closing the door.
 
So according to YouGov 7% of UKIP voters voted remain... How does that work?

UKIP's been polling at about 91% on yougov all election so its roughly in line with what they've been saying since the start.

I wonder if they assign parties based on responses, rather than what people say if that makes sense.
 
bit insulting sure they would argue they just want whats best for the country they live in

People really like to say that when in reality they mean what's supposedly best for themselves. Doesn't sound so good, though.

Thanks Arron.
 
IDS not signing the 'Save Dave' :lol: letters enable the rest to grovel more effectively ''we're ain't as bad IDS...'' Unfair that he's getting escape goated like this, really :)

Farage may have un-conceded (bbc)
 
Oh i'd still talk about causes, just not in the context of a Westminster party that i could in all good conscience support. I've never been one of those tribal type of voters, where you could pin a rosette to a bottle of Volvic and that would answer the purpose.

I suppose if it looked like Osborne was going to the new Tory leader, i might engage in some entryism. But merely to derail that reptile's ambitions.
:lol:

I love hating Osborne, can't wait for his downfall over the next four years.
 
Turnout expected to be almost 84%. Predictions during the week were closer to 70%.
Bollocks from the list I saw when the woman crossed our names out. Looked more 40pc at best from that tiny, statistically insignificant sample!
 
Voted remain as did mom, know a polish girl ( she cant vote cause of age) but her parents voted leave dont know how that works
 
It's not about tighter controls... we'll have tighter controls if we remain anyway. It's about incredibly restrictive controls that may as well be closing the door.

To be honest I don't think net migration will fall much in or out. Of course in peoples motives for voting leave though it applies.
 
You worried me then!!
Was taking the piss! Seriously though, London is a quagmire. I need to get in work early tom- I dread to think what I might wake up to...

You have no basis for that assertion though. The goverment has done very little to restrict non-European immigration so unless UKIP come to power or the Tory party changes direction then it won't be closing the doors.

An immigrant has as much right as anyone to want the country they live in to have controls of their borders. I don't agree with the anti-immigration line but I find it odd so many on here who shout that view down then lessen the validity of these peoples vote.
 
John Humphrys needs to tell Farage we have to take his first answer and he's conceded now so that's that. Stop counting.

'mom'? Guessing you're not from Liverpool?

That vote isn't that strange in itself as those already here may see some benefit to leaving.
 
Urgh, just saw I got another leaflet today claiming the "£350 million a week" to be a FACT. Feck sake.
 
If I wake up to a leave win I'm staying in bed.

I've got to get up and into London tomorrow either way.

Hopefully if we Leave others feel the same as you can I can at least get a seat on the train.
 
From an objective perspective perhaps, but i'll be even more jaded and cynical than i already was. And when i think back to my ballot paper from last year's GE, it would now require the introduction of a new party for me to vote in 2020. I've never liked Osborne, and Cameron's been pissing me off sine the Autumn of 2010. While i voted Green in 2015, their manifesto was terribly amateurish (i don't trust Caroline Lucas and she could be leader).
Vote liberal!
 
Made my mind up a long time ago, the fact that there just happened to be a line of people in front of me today who were chatting away in another language only strengthend my decision. :)
