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

[izzop]

I blame the EU for Brexit.

If they had compromised on free movement, we wouldn't have left. Immigration was the deciding factor.

I disagree with that. Yes, immigration was a factor, but if the EU had compromised, full stop, it would have helped.

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?

Interesting to see the Poll at the top of the thread, its now leaning to Remain...wonder if some of those Leave voters have had a change of heart??

sturgeon wont call another ref as she wont win it.

no economic argument for independence (they never had one), wont get into the EU anyway as an independent country.

 

[deuse]

Of course it will all be UK law instead of EU law, but I just want to make sure they are sensible and adapted sensibly and not used to create an aggressive/totalitarian state.

I want tough laws not the silly goodie goodie laws of the EU.

 

[Tunney]

I just hope that when they transform EU law to UK law they keep some of the more sensible laws, such as sustainability/emissions, human rights and other things like that.

The Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland devolution agreements all require the implementation of EU law into local law. It's for the devolved parliaments to repeal these EU laws and I doubt they will.

ECHR, its an EU law, but the UK did help draft it. But of course the UK will keep it, im sure its also in UK law

Arrrrrgh it's not an EU law!

This means that Cameron will have served a shorter term as PM, compared to Major, by about a month if he does leave in October.

This is quite a shock to the system, but I think it's for the best in the long run.

The elderly who helped rebuild this country after the catastrophe of two world wars, who saw the parents, uncles, brothers and grandfathers fight and die for freedom sealed the deal on this vote. Have some respect!

+ 1

I would say i am disappointed with the turnout of the vote, whilst higher than normal, frankly 25% of non-voters could have swung the decision either way.

I'd be all for making voting a legal requirement - even if you opt to spoil your ballot.

im sure it will calm down soon, you cant blame people for being angry though. There are quite afew of us that are directly and immediately affected but im sure we will all be and need to be on the same page soon enough. I dont think anyone is meaning to be person, but people have the right to be angry for now.

That's your opinion. Others are available.

I think the EU referendum has proven the economic argument is irrelevant. People are going to vote with their hearts next time. Its just going to be England Wales Gibraltar left behind in some sort of sitcom. A sitcom of Darma & Greg levels of quality.

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.

A MAGNIFICENT DAY FOR GREAT BRITAIN!


Arise Sir Nigel Farage!


Without him none of this magnificence would have been possible!

GLORIOUS RESULT!



YES!!!!!

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

and i think personally this is were the problem lies.. It came across to me that these experts and politicians gave a poop about one thing and that's money... Money that themselves or their financial corps would loose.

They just seemed to forget who would be voting and what mattered to them.. the financial sector has taken a battering over the last ten year so can you blame people for not listening to what they have said??

No you can't but the constant demonising of respected experts just shows how broken this country is.

Just look at the Liverpool Professor. Posted only facts about remain and how leave was based on lies and misinformation. He was demonised by many on this forum and on the Internet.

It's sad that we basically can't trust anyone and this trust I think is going to take us in the wrong direction entirely. I can't see the UK positively benefiting from this and any direction we are given, I can see the people ignoring.

 

[platypus]

They won't, this is the perfect opportunity for the tories to tear up & water down lots of sensible laws that get in the way of making a quick buck, & they'll grab the opportunity with both hands.

What planet are you on?!
