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

[Stretch]

According to a man on the BBC, "hard working" people will get a pay rise now we've left the EU.

 

[Tunney]

Morgan, Gove, Osborne, Boris, May... ruination in all.

I hate to say it but I'd choose Gove out of that lot. He's done a decent job as Justice Secretary.

 

[Sleepery]

There is almost no chance Gibraltar will join Spain. Zero. Zip. Naddaa.

Because....this is the bit where you give a reason.

 

[Cleisthenes]

People are upset with the results but that's democracy, unlike Brussels, if the government wanted to win they needed to make a more valid argument to persuade people.

Sometimes the people shouldn't be trusted, this is a prime example

How you feeling today?

Incredibly glad I am a dual national and sad to see that both the UK and the EU will be poorer for today's decision.

 

[cheesyboy]

and now you will get someone worse. yay?

TO be honest, I'm not sure we will have someone worse.

Anyone who comes in without learning from this vote is a ****ing idiot.

Human rights will be one of the first that goes, likely followed by any EU laws that protect workers rights. If the Tories stay in power this country is going to get nailed. Secretly every tory wanted brexit anyway so they could unshackle themsleves from all the EU legislation that preventted them from doing some of the more heinous things. The poor are about to get done up the harris without lubrication and what's funny is that they did this to themselves.

I'm not sure if you are pro-leave or not, probably not, but the human rights law applicable within the UK is not if EU origin or remit. That is not to say that the EU isn't concerned with human rights, it is, but the council of Europe and European court of human rights is NOT the EU!!!

Anyone that thinks the EU is in charge of human rights in this country, and voted to leave because of it, should just hide away in a cave and never vote again tbh.

To everyone who voted LEAVE, thank you! You've also helped push David Cameron out, a horrible evil man who with help by his minions tried to kill many disabled people and the poor

Bye bye

So you're thanking people for voting against one person instead of the actual referendum. Logic

 

[Cleisthenes]

and now you will get someone worse. yay?

Exactly my thoughts. Cameron may not be perfect but from what I've seen he's a far sight better than the alternatives.

Cameron was a very liberal conservative PM. Anyone else is likely to take the party back to the right.

 

[Mr Jack]

so EU want us out now, not in 3 months.

I've been talking to people in Germany, and listening to a number of speeches and asking for the jist of a bunch of speeches I don't understand from people who speak the language and I have to say, I'm horrified. The UK is not going to be allowed to set the timetable on this.

 

[JohnnyG]

Lol at the protestors having a go at Boris

 

[Cleisthenes]

Sums a lot of the leave voters incentives up to be quite honest.

 

[regulus]

The thing is though, that the net contribution to the economy over a working lifetime is about 25x that if the average farage supporting sun-reading xenophobe.

So you lot can call it boring/irrellevant etc. all you like. Then again, if you paid attention to all of the numbers, facts and reason then you wouldn't have voted leave....would you?

No of course I wouldn't have voted to leave. I'm not silly. But as much as I disagree with the result, I believe FAR more in democracy. I've been negative about politics for years now. This vote utterly shocked me but completely restored my confidence in democracy.

This is what we wanted as a people and you guys as a nation (I left, so don't class myself part of the nation right now), I hope you make it work.

PS, loving the 'xenophobe' angle. Worked so well for the Leave mob huh?

 

[platypus]

So much bitterness in the topic from each side. The majority voted for exit, why can't we just chill and see how it plays out instead of calling each other retards and morons?

Probably because 1% is the slimmest of majorities and people actually care enough to get upset? I agree the name calling is childish but its understandable.

 

[deuse]

Gibraltar will go back to Spain before the negotiations are over. No way are they going to sit pretty where they are and not be part of the EU. If there was another vote in Gibraltar now to vote if they want to stay as part of the UK or go to Spain they'd hot foot it to spain in a heartbeat

That's rubbish. It's like saying the Falkland island is going back to Argentina. Get a grip.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

What about the premiership? Good news for grass roots football?

 

[zooankski]

While I don't really like him, what are the other options?

There are none. Boris and Trump would make for a very interesting ride in the future, one i would not like to be on.
The result has already cost me a couple of grand it seems in the small amount of shares i hold. I wonder how long it will take them to recover, if they recover!

I just cannot get over the fact that a lot of people have based their vote on immigration as far as i can tell. Very narrow minded in my opinion.

One thing that struck me this morning on the school run was the amount of children upset and worried about how things would effect them. Quite amazing really what youngsters pick up on.

 

[awaybreaktoday]

Of course they won't be.

The economic repercussions of this will be huge. We will be worse off for some time with no guarantee that we will be better economically in the future.

Why will anyone want to invest in the uk now, it would not make economic sense to do so

You just reminded me to renew my Irish passport.
