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

[Azza]

Clock starts in a few months when the Article 50 is submitted by Cameron's successor. We haven't officially told the EU we're going to leave yet.

Shhhh, if you don't talk about it everyone will just forget!

Err no, I am a 27 year old software engineer and everyone I know has voted out inside and outside of work.

I agree - work in IT and the 20 or so engineers around me all spoke of voting Leave

Theres a large silent blockvote out there that was hacked off with the whole situation

I wonder what the ramification will be for Northern Ireland. They voted to remain.
Will they put their religious differences aside and join the Republic of Ireland?

They voted as the UK, not as individual countries.

Unless you think Cheltenham should be independent too? Or those of us who voted remain?

Well I'd say you are in a huge minority in you demographic. Older people, especially those over 60, have overwhelmingly voted out nationally according to the polls.

As far as I know, the only people I work with that have voted out are the unskilled warehouse workers. The rest of us, various mechanical engineers, projects managers etc, voted in.

I'm sure they will love it when their jobs get off-shored.

What gets it for me is people who say "the people have clearly spoken".

NO THEY HAVEN'T! The results are almost a 50/50 split down the middle!

If anything, the people are divided.

If the vote came in at 49.9% leave/ 50.1% remain, you would be singing a completely different tune.

 

[awaybreaktoday]

Shortsighted comments.

No its not

You have to admit it gives lots of political capital to those with independance agendas?

Yes, I know that. Don't be obtuse.
Scotland are having a referendum again so I was wondering if NI would too.

I read the "eu reaction to brexit" sub-stories on bbc this morning. 3 of the 5 positive quotes were from far right nationalists from italy and france.

Says it all.

As an engineer I'll echo this.

Nearly everyone on the shop floor at airbus was out it seems. Except the unskilled warehouse/logistics lads.


Cause theyre all Polish

Except, won't they say to us, 'lol what, you're complaining about stretched services when your population is increasing, due to migration, by 0.5%/year? And you're choosing not to invest enough money in them? And more than half your net migration is migration you're choosing not to stop?' ?

Again, you you demonstrate we'd be able to apply the emergency brake? Have you looked at how previous applications of it have been asked for/why they've been accepted/etc? You seem to be guessing/hoping/asserting, which isn't particularly reassuring...

This is irrelevant to the argument. The position is we are leaving the EU. The next step is negotiation of the terms. There are things we will gain and things we will lose. The best situation and one that will certainly happen is the win-win situation. Ultimately freedom of movement makes not one bit of difference to the EU and they will concede on this. Free trade is the top priority and both will agree on that.

Lol scotland wont be having another refderendum

 

[Prophet]

I think it would be a mistake for Scotland to do anything before they see what happens to the EU over the coming 12 months.

Other EU member states are nearing the point of requesting a referendum so jumping ship to the EU when it's future is as uncertain as the UK's seems like a huge mistake.

Dont forget Trump.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Aye, crazy. Who's going to suffer? The Welsh.

Yeah, between 2007-2013 the EU gave them 1.8 billion in 'structural funding' I'm sure Westminster will give us that..... right guys? Looks like Cornwall and the North East of England was receiving a lot of aid too but don't worry we are going to save loads of money with that £350 million not going to the EU anymore.
