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

[Ricochet J]

What gets it for me is people who say "the people have clearly spoken".

NO THEY HAVEN'T! The results are almost a 50/50 split down the middle!

If anything, the people are divided.

The Calais agreement is separate to the EU, and will remain in place as confirmed by the French before the vote. I assume the same is true for the tunnel.

Thanks for the explanation.

AFP: #BREAKING EU chiefs say Britain must start exit process 'as soon as possible'

It's for us to decide, not them. Of course they want it asap, but they've no control over it.

 

[Skeeter]

in what way?

Influx of people moving in while they can in the hope of being allowed to stay once we leave.

 

[platypus]

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

Yes, I would suspect it will be weighted even more in favour of the US.

 

[antijoke]

Doubt we'll hear much from him.

He'll be out when Cameron goes.

I expect that too, but considering he was threatening a backlash budget you would expect him to be making noises, despite the fact MP's said they would not allow it, you expect something from him as chancellor.

Has lolskeeter taken over the reins from lolzethor?

Good speech from Boris. No.1 candidate for No.10.

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.

I don't really understand that argument, What's the population of Europe vs rest of the world? That should put it into perspective.

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.

I was briefly replying to a few of them but realised I'd be better off if I didn't. So stopped.

Don't want to upset the apple cart.

Plus as someone rightly said emotions are high and there's nothing wrong with being upset. It'll settle down soon.

Incredible.

I really don't think people realise that you have to sleep in the bed you make for yourself.

 

[Skeeter]

Having more people blindly voting when they don't understand the consequences of that decision isn't a good thing.

Are you suggesting all the 33m people who did vote were fully educated and aware of all possible consiquences of their actions?

You can still spoil your vote if your forced to turn up. Nobody is forcing people to chose an option, but it would ensure a near 100% turnout and avoid this 75% thing.

A little snippet in one of the BBC articles mentioned that we could end up leaving the EU but still retaining free movement of workers with EU states. So we could end up out but still retain all the Immigration...

As expected, we are now basically getting ransomed to what EU want us to adopt in order to trade with them. We now have no say within Europe and they can pretty much say "take it or leave it", these are the regulations you have to adopt before we come to any kind of deal.

Well nobody knows what the result of the negotiations will be, but it's a possibility.

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/

I'm pretty sure that the older generation has screwed over the younger ones who wanted in when it's not their future, thanks for that. Since there are question marks over a lot of people's jobs I think they have the right to be concerned about the outcome.

 

[ChrisD.]

It's scary the amount of much misinformation and false statements in this thread.

 

[Dicehunter]

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!!!!

I know, I wanted that luxury toilet scrubbing job dammit and now some hard working decent Polish man has it !

I've been telling people that for months.

Yeah, that 'budget' mock-up was just the Tories being ***** again. Osbourne is ****ed politically now [partly] because of it, though.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Boris is on now.

Surely he will be the next PM ?

As big as laughing stock as Trump being president.
