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

[v0n]

On the plus side does this mean we wont be in Eurovision any more?

No. Nothing to do with Eu. It's a broadcasters union thing.

 

[Hotwired]

Same here, do they release the breakdown of votes over the age groups at all?

You cant have exact votes because anonymity

But you can generalise like this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...e-results-compare-to-the-uks-educated-old-an/

You're telling me Britain has no contingency plan?

Surely people wouldn't vote leave if there was nothing in plan to have reassurances that Britain would be better off or at least not worse off?

What contingency plan did we have for uncontrolled migration, what contingency plan would we have had for the real possibilities that some Southern European countries become the next Greece?

Yup that is UK Gilt yields... cash flowing into UK Government bonds as a 'safe haven' in spite of what you've seen in the FX and equities markets...

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Is this a serious question?

Well yes it was. As I thought, you can't.

Yup, exactly as was predicted.

What I find funny is that people are harping on about immigrants from the EU when the majority of immigrants are from outside the EU so this doesn't change a thing.

Well obviously if they are harping on about the ones from the EU and not outside they don't care about the majority which have to go through visa requirements such as proving they can speak English, disease free and have money, unlike EU ones.

I believe no contingency plans were in place because they truly didn't believe a leave vote would win.

Now they are on the back foot with things changing by the minute.

That's quite a predicament you guys find yourselves in.

It must be quite a strange feeling not really knowing what the future will be like.

I for one would not have voted leave because Britain was such a strong economy and looked like it always had a bright future ahead.

Being in the unknown and not knowing if you will be worse or better off will really start to worry more people as the reality of the vote start to kicks in I imagine.

I have two types of posters on my facebook this morning.

1. It's the end. Racist bigiots have won. We're doomed.
2. It'll probably be okay. No one really knows whats going to happen.

It's amazing with a vote of 52% leave that there's less posts celebrating it.

I had one friend comment that at his work he's more afraid of coming out saying he voted leave than he would be saying he's gay. It's amazing how certain views are now so negatively viewed by a proportion of the population that it can't be viewed for fear of reprisals.

It is because of all the crying. Our friends haven't stopped bleating on FB all morning. I really want to tell them to grow up, it's democracy. My wife really wouldn't thank me and TBH I don't want to antagonise anyone so I will just stay quiet. I suspect many others will be in the same boat.

But it's them damn Poles and Slovaks coming over and taking these minimum wage factory packing jobs that people are climbing each other in the job centre to apply for! GRRRRR!!!!

We still do have a bright future ahead.

Economic concerns were irrelevant to most leave voters. They don't care. I don't care - and I am affluent, with property, very good job etc etc.

The question is sovereignty and freedom. And I will not trade those things for security, money, the safety of the known etc.

This was a vote for the next 50-100 years. Not whether we will be richer or poorer in the next 5 years (which is an irrelevance).

 

[Cool Breeze]

Some decisions in life go your way some don't, to all the whinging remain voters, front up and accept the decision. So you lost, big deal.

It's exactly the smug elitist advice you'd be giving us leavers if we'd lost!

See it as an opportunity for forge a new future for our country and Europe instead of being all defeatist about it.

People are genuinely devastated. Let them have their moment.

Soon enough, all us Remainers will be back on board, but right now it's a bit raw.

For a lot of the leave voters, it is relevant though.

Which we had anyway,

 

[joeyjojo]

To be pedantic - correct. But do you seriously think the US won't pursue a similar type agreement with the UK now? And it's far more likely to be passed in full as the US want without the EU to water it down/veto it.

Yes it probably will, eventually. The question was about TTIP though. A UK-USA FTA might be quite different.

Farage will probably be in the government. Why wouldn't he be (if he wants it)?

Why? He's from a minority party and is a very divisive figure... UKIP no longer has a purpose, he should retire happy that he's achieved his aims. I wouldn't like to see him as a regular politician, I think there are better candidates.
