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

[Tunney]

They voted as the UK, not as individual countries.

The Good Friday Agreement makes a lot of assumptions about the UK's membership of the EU.

I
Ftse has already rose back up to only a 4% dip and is showing steady slow growth.

The FTSE 250 is a more accurate reflection of the UK economy - that's the one I'd be looking at for more of an indication.

In the same manner that if we'd have remained the markets would have gone through the roof before settling back, the immediate losses this morning shouldn't be too heavily relied upon. But, what happens next week, the week after that and running through the end of the summer will likely give us a better indication of how things will play out.

Lol scotland wont be having another refderendum

Erm, what about Nicola Sturgeon's announcement today then? Or am I being very thick and mis-understanding what she actually announced.

once the chavs realise they can't hop on the ferry to go to Europe to watch <enter your football team here> in their champions league away fixture because they get refused an entry visa on the suspicion of being a footy hooligan they will soon rue the day they voted to leave..................

Why are you so sure?

 

[Freddie1980]

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

There jobs will get offshored regardless of whether were in the EU or not. If bosses can save a few quid on the staff budget they will grab at it.

So who do we blame for the failure of Remain? Cameron's negative campaigning, lies from the leave side or Jeremy Corbyn's lack of effort to encourage his own voters to vote remain?

Oh yes they will.

 

[Jono8]

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.

Here we are again. Cake and eat it.

 

[Tunney]

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.

Building hospitals in London is expensive. There's not going to be much left after.

 

[shadow_boxer]

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.

Similar to where I work too in the NHS. A frightening number of nurses also voted leave.

 

[Jono8]

Lol scotland wont be having another refderendum

Yes they will! They were always going to if we voted to leave. That much was obvious.

Imagine dave the bloke down the road anouncing hes going to secede and form his own state in his back garden.

Thats basicaly what happened there.

 

[Ricochet J]

If Scotland leave, will they adopt the Euro?

If you're a suspected football hooligan you can't go over there now

 

[Seanspeed]

She made it very clear that there would be moves to hold another referendum.

And seeing the Scottish reactions and the fact that staying in the EU was one of the cornerstones of the Scottish voting to stay with the UK, I'd say Scotland is gone already.

Surely people weren't so naive to think this wasn't going to happen?

Oh wait.....of course they were.

All those times I travelled across Europe pre-1993

 

[Jono]

I'd be happy for a revote. And I'd be happy if Remain won by a bigger (> 5%) margin.

 

[Things change I've changed]

The free movement loss for us is a red herring, imo, apart from pensioners who aren't well off. The people who emigrate, excluding pensioners, are young, educated, well off people who'll have no trouble getting visas. They'll mostly be fine, imo.

But free movement shouldn't just be for the higher educated or well off, that's the thing I liked/like about free movement within the EU, it was equal 'opportunity' for everyone, the chance to move easily within such a large area and start a new life was/is such an important aspect of the EU for me.

French seem ecstatic for Britain and can't wait for their own "Frexit", according to the hundreds of comments here - https://m6info.yahoo.com/en-direct-royaume-uni-l-1457458921127990.html

 

[Semple]

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

I'd have to say i'm quite shocked too. I'm of the same age and also in the software industry (thankfully a huge American company) and the majority of my colleagues were voting in.

It doesn't make business sense to leave either.

I can only hope that you don't work for a British company that might go under as a result of this.
