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

[Freakbro]

This pathetic crying about the result not being representative needs to stop.

People are complaining it wasn't representative?

Most votes would kill for a 72% turnout!

Very good speech from Boris, I think we'll start to see a more serious side to him now.

Surprised by the outcome of the vote but out of the two options I feel better about Leave winning. Gives us a chance for real change rather than the same old excuses of blaming everything on the EU.

We can just blame the exact same problems on ourselves now.

I'm sure that the older generation has saved the naive easily lead younger ones.

Yes dem immigrants corrupted our easily led minds to want to remain.

 

[MookJong]

This will be make of break for young people. Either this will turn them off politics even more or they will really start to engage on a level we have not seen since the 60s

Hollande says exit negotiations need to be swift.


Maybe Cameron is trying to drag it out and hope everyone just forgets about it.

 

[Diagro]

i was going to vote leave, then my wife said she wanted to remain.

So i just voted remain.

I did tell her it would be a leave vote anyway... ha

Lol @ Boris claiming this means the future will be great for the young. Well, it's not what they wanted. YouGov reckons support for remain was,

75%, 18-24
56%, 25-49

The 'young' need to take a lesson on how voting in a democracy works. ALL votes are equal. The young do not get more votes or more weight just because they might live longer!

Age is irrelevant. LEAVE won the referendum. Every vote counts equally and LEAVE got more.

Wow that such a shame, young people voting for their future and we get screwed by pessimistic oldies.

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...

that would be rather silly politically, for a large portion of the working class voters this sort of immigration was part of the issue

they're not fussed about Asian nurses or, Indian Doctors, IT workers or American Bankers, they're fussed about low skilled Romanians

 

[Skeeter]

sure but that is rather short term... we'll be better with a points based system if/when certain other EU economies collapse, Greek style

If we have a points system. We could have the same system as now, or a 20' high wall, or something in between.

But if I was in Poland on the fence about moving to the UK, I would be definately coming now.

Yep, government is going to get a lot more stick now they can't just use the EU as an excuse.

 

[tracertong]

51.9 + 48.1 = 100%


And people are questioning the intelligence of leave voters.

Spot the 911 in the win percentages. Just a coincidence I'm sure..

I expect GPU prices will rise now by the end of the year GG nationalists well done.

You mean by the end of the day

 

[The Mad Rapper]

Krankie is on. She's about to ask for another Referendum.

Ask the former young people from the 70s if they regretted voting in when they were younger

 

[Skeeter]

Over 1 million more people voted to Leave than Remain. Those that didn't vote don't count.

This pathetic crying about the result not being representative needs to stop. It was. Live with it.

When was I crying? I'm stating the rules around Referendums and how the results can be statistically interpreted.

I've not even mentioned how I voted in here.

IMO if there's a minimum age you have to be to vote, there should be a maximum age too. Age 70+ people should not be allowed to vote for a future they won't be a part of.

 

[UTmaniac]

I can't help but feel, rightly or wrongly, that George Osborne's doom and gloom predictions following a leave vote sealed the Brexit win. Surely he has to follow Cameron and step away from the limelight?

Can't help but wonder if there will be a massive drive for proportional representation in local and general elections, following the decent 70+% turnout for the referendum.

Yet I find it quite scarey that ~27% of the UK's total population (including kids and non-elidgible residents) voting leave sealed the deal.

 

[SpeedFreak]

Its coming any second....

This was an unprecedented election. MASSIVE turnout and fully representative in a way not seen in this country for a long, long time.

One side clearly won.

Now we move on to leave the EU. It's over.
