Poll: The Official OcUK EU Referendum Exit poll (and results discussion thread)

Would Boris make a good PM?

I know he does not exactly fit the image, but the guys very smart.

Or areas affected most by immigration and other EU issues. Behave.. We can all manipulate statistics to suite our needs.

Are you saying there is zero correlation? No qualifications increases vulnerability to influences such as immigration.
People should look to themselves for their problems and not do a knee-jerk and blame everyone/everything else.

There is no manipulation and I am behaving.

The hatred coming out of the remain supporters on my facebook is terrible - more embarrassed by their behaviour and campaigning than the people for making a democratic decision.

Same with mine.

Clearly a bitter pill to swallow, also looking at the democratic it just shows how out of touch they all are.

Im sure Nicola Sturgeon will call for another referendum but they should really use there brains and hold off for a while, just to see how things play out in the UK and in the EU.

I agree, they should wait, but see below

No because the stated end goal of the SNP is an independent Scotland they will want to strike while the iron is hot while the Scottish electorate are angry and the markets in turmoil it makes a yes on independence much more likely!

They will more than likely try this. Take advantage of the fact the majority vote in Scotland was remain, and play on the fact they didn't get their way.

Didn't they promise one within 2 Years if the UK voted to leave?

I think so, but aren't they tied up for another 4 years before they can organise another one? Or was that timeframe only if the UK stayed within the EU?

This could be a perfect storm.

Scotland voted to remain and even bitter opponents of Scottish independence such as Jakey Rowling, have indicated this would sway their vote in a second referendum. Do you remember the claims of Better Together that EU membership was dependent on a No vote?

Northern Ireland voted to remain and relies on EU subsidy more than any other area of the UK, could this see a push to a reunified Ireland?

 

[Third Opinion]

Remain being grateful losers to Boris.

Ridiculous, really. We need to accept the vote and get on with it.

 

[koolpc]

Cam just did too much scaremongering during his campaign.

Wales is one of the poorest nations in the EU and only exists because of it, yet voted to leave, which I genuinely don't understand. Either people are massively uneducated and/or haven't done their research.

The hatred coming out of the remain supporters on my facebook is terrible - more embarrassed by their behaviour and campaigning than the people for making a democratic decision.

48% of the UK getting something they don't want isn't democracy... Shows how divided this country is.

Disappointed in Cameron, it was only last year he was fine with leaving the EU if we didn't get reform. Now he's on the losing side he's the first to jump ship just when we need as much stability as possible in the coming days and weeks ahead.

TBH he can't win. Stays he gets asked why he does not resign immediately for scaremongering and so on. Does not stay long enough and the opposite in that he is jumping ship. I think staying on to do the preliminary negotiations, step down and leave it to the successor to invoke article 50 seems reasonable.

 

[darael]

Surely Osborne has got to go. He went well OTT and a lot of damage to remain with his threats.

+1

Cameron and Osborne have torn strips off this country and not all it reversible.

I am shocked at the Leave decision, I was even more surprised by Cameron leaving.

 

[RSR]

Poor Boris!

 

[Orionaut]

Baxk up to only 5%down now

So Foreign owners of British companies unloading their stock perhaps?

Don't really see that as a long term problem really,

I have never been particularly happy with the idea of, say, south east water being owned jointly by a Canadian global fund manager and an Australian one! (Well, it was in 2011 anyway)

This is the problem, it could start the break up of the UK. Plus I work for a NI company!

Absolutely. I don't see that he had any other choice.

Well when you look at legacies, Blair is looking positively rosy compared to Cameron.

 

[Walkerie]

Threes a poll going round for a 2nd referendum vote - would it carry any substance if it got enough signatures?

 

[The Running Man]

The EU will change before this happens then Scotland will have no reason to leave the UK

 

[B&W]

When Pakistani taxi drivers were telling me they were going to vote leave due to romanians and the EU stealing our money I knew we'd vote out.

Talk about shooting yourself in your own foot, the new Tory party will be right wing and want to demolish the NHS.
