and labour did very little
Thats what I mean, if Corbyn does somehow manage to hold on then the resulting Labour party is going to be so far to the left they're going to be referring to eachother as Comerade.
So we end up with a reincarnation of Blairs new labour, which I can't see garnering that much support.
Leaves a big gap for either the Lib Dems to exploit, or god help us all a rally from UKIP.
I just can't imagine what the political climate is going to look like!
Yeah that's a great analogy apart from the race is 2.5 miles and we aren't even out of the starting blocks, and you're wanting to take the bet back because the horse is looking a little jittery like everyone said it would
I am angry at the whole lot of them to be honest. This is a total pointless cluster**** of the highest order.

Nah they're still digging. No ETA on when it'll be found yet.
Any word from Boris on what we're going to do now, or is it still silent on that front?
If we could go back 10 years and tell ourselves in a decade we'll be paralysed waiting on a plan from bumbling Boris.
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up the last 5 minutes and your post was at the bottom of the current page, so instead of reading back I just asked what you meant.

Don't give a crap about the political chaos right now but it's the economical chaos that bothers me and it should to you as well.

Don't get me wrong. You've caught me out of context - was meant to have quoted another poster.
I'm sick of project fear being used to label anything the leave lot don't like to hear - even while it's actually happening. Keeping their heads in the sand when it comes to finances while salivating over increased sovereignty.
They've given rise to the far right while destroying the economy. No wonder they're celebrating. At least I think they're celebrating.
Don't worry though because in 5 years it will all be fine. Fact.
not yet it hasn't, in fact it has been the opposite for the past couple of days

To be fair, that's not a valid question, but the short term economy is certainly going as predicted.
It's very easy to say the words 'short term pain for long term gain' until you have to go through the reality of that pain.

I agree - has anyone given a coherent rational argument for leaving yet?
I guess we all gotta brileave first now...

No, this is almost entirely the Tory's fault. They've spent the past decade talking up immigration as a problem, and using the EU as a scapegoat. Cameron, rather than taking on the Euroskeptics in his party has spent the last ten years throwing them bones in a futile attempt to keep them happy. Then, having buckled to the pressure to promise a referendum, rather than making preparations to win it, he decided it would be a great idea to pretend to make his backing of Remain dependent on negotiating reforms that he'd completely failed to spend his premiership preparing for, or building alliances for. Finally, he decided it would be a great idea to pull the trigger on the referendum at a bad time and fought a poor campaign. Then other Tories stepped up to the plate to really put the knife into the UK; there is something to be said for Gove, IDS and Hannan - at least they actually believed in Leave - but Boris decided to join the Leave campaign purely out of political ambition.
This is a disaster created, gift-wrapped, and delivered by the Tories.

Worries me that the political turmoil and knee jerk electorate reactions could actually flip the other way and put Corbyn in power... a man who believes in the institution of things rather than the people that make it up - which is sadly lost on many people who think he actually has their best interests at heart.

When they realise our Balance of Payments is going to increase that will change.
