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

But it would have been an all fine and dandy System if it had gone the way you wanted it to.... Right?

Seriously, all the negative-ninnies who are throwing their dummies out because things didn't go their way and they are such special little ********** that things should be changed/done differently until it does go their way need to seriously MTFU and deal with it.

Especially if they have houses, pensions or anything linked to the economic well being of the nation. MTFU

So... How many bankers and financiers made a killing on this result.

A drop in the pound, no surprise either way!

And ironically the Leave vote will lift the EU-instilled cap of the banker bonuses too!

See it's fine not to like the guy I certainly don't. I'm just unsure on the ones who are celebrating his resignation/berating him as without him they'd still be in the EU.

I am not celebrating his resignation, the tool should have stayed until article 50 was invoked.

But I digress and the is sod all I can do about it.

1984 by Eric Arthur Blair.

Sorry of course, I should have know I've read it, but V for Vendetta is somewhat inspired by 1984.

I know several people that shorted the pound on Thursday night and made quite a lot.

 

[Jono8]

wondered if even a lot of those who voted "leave" had wondered quite what they'd done and whether it was the right decision

Indeed. Seeing and hearing about lots of regrets. I think even the leave camp (boris et al) were surprised.

I'm not sure anyone really knows what to do now

Interesting MPs suggests Cameron may have called referendum last year 'to blackmail Europe' - very clever move from Cameron.

A quick resolution to the free market question. Dragging that out damages the weaker EU economies which will likely prove catastrophic, both from just an economic point of view, but also from stoking further anti-EU fealing.

The answer to that question is simple, there will be no free market access for the UK without an accompanying free movement of people. If the EU re-negs for the UK then the party is over. Junkers et al will stick to their guns on this as free movement is the very corner stone on which the EU is built.

They'll see the UK go up in smoke and take what ever pain they need to in order to steady the rest of the EU before seeing a curbing on the free movement of people in the EU. I might be wrong on this, and maybe it's for the best that I am , but can anyone, once they take their rose tinted glasses off really see us getting the best of both worlds out of the EU now ? No chance, as it would effectively start hammering nails into the coffin for the whole EU. The UK is about to get a taste of EU retribution so I hope everyone is ready for more austerity. But that's ok because people can sit at home in houses they can no longer afford, with no heating and empty food cupboards, but be pleased as punch that they have sovereignty, something they always had but decided to sell themselves down the river because they were too thick to work it out.

Seen the film many times, it's one of my favourites. As is the graphic novel the film is based on.

surely if that was his game he would not have tendered his resignation and seen through the negotiations ?

Not you sorry. Seen a fair few slating Cameron despite giving them the ability to do this just annoyed me a bit.

Weirdly for once I agree with you .

We were exempt from future bailouts.

Though I appreciate facts like this were of no interest.

Yes we are exempt from the EU contribution (but we do pay with the IMF contribution). Greece is still a big burden in the EU regardless. I think it was a general EU discussion rather than one about the UK we were having.

In terms of the mechanics of the voting (turnout, eligible person etc), I would say it's right not to scrutinise the way the decision was made when there was little contention previously over how the decision should have been made.

But arguing its the wrong decision is fine.

to prevent contagion of other nations wanting to split. The faster they can ge the UK out the quicker they can apply their punishments of choice to show others what happens when you quit.

It was Putin who said that:

http://www.itv.com/news/update/2016...ave-called-eu-referendum-to-blackmail-europe/

This is a win-win scenario for Russia. The UK was quite vocal in pushing EU sanctions on them,and many of the EU countries like France were half-hearted(and they still tried to sell them the Mistral-class amphibious assault ships they had ordered).

So,I can see the EU probably not extending many of the sanctions after the current round expires.

The UK will also be more worried about the current problems than putting more pressure on Russia via other means.

Because the uncertainty is destroying economies

I'm worried that this will happen.
