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

[Seanspeed]

This is why we shouldn't give votes to the under 25's, they simply don't have a clue.

You do also see that the 25-49 group voted to remain also, right?

Support for a referendum has been growing in Sweden for a while now.

that support will be crushed as soon as the Swedes see the medicine that the UK will take from the EC at the negotiating table. Anyone who thinks that the UK is going to walk away with a win win is delusional. The EC are going to make an example of the UK to ensure there is no further decent in the ranks in exactly the same way that they strangled the fight out of Greece.

Had an email from our CEO this afternoon, as far as the company is concerned (company is german), there will be no difference in our operation given the results of brexit, with only minor changes required due to fluctuations in the dollar/pound exchange rate, but that only affects 3% of the business, and should't be a problem.

Still.. I'm of the opinion that the result was so close that it could be overturned.

Those life expectancies seem rather high.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Thank you.

Seconded

Could you elaborate a little on this theory?

Morgan Stanley already moving 2,000 jobs from London to Dublin...

Good, let them go. As soon as they're not dictating to us, they're off to another country who will let them do what they want.

 

[Jonners]

Good job we had plenty of older and shall we say wiser voters to save the day for us to secure the leave vote we deserved.

Thanks

Yes and we would have been in grave danger if they'd have gotten their way!

The President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, says the EU will not allow the UK to re-join the single market.

"Leave is leave", he said. "The UK just decided to leave the European Union and that means also the single market of the European Union. I wonder whether this is a rational decision. It is an emotional one."

Mr Schulz said he respected the decision of the British people, but felt it was the wrong one.

"The UK had lost independence nowhere. The UK is not a part of Schengen, it's not a part of the euro. The UK had a lot of opt-outs… it was the UK insisting always not to be a full-fledged member of the EU.

"The only areas they were a fully-fledged member is the single market and now they cut the links to the single market and look what happens today on the internal markets."

He said Leave campaigners had duped the British public by making false promises.

"Yes, that message that Britain alone would be stronger than together with the other countries of the European Union, this is a fairytale."

How so?

There would be civil disobedience on an epic scale if the government chose to overturn the result.

Exactly, and this is why only OAP's should be allowed to vote.

Probably polled in Dorset, it certainly couldn't have been somewhere like Glasgow

 

[el_dazza]

Well that's it.

This is why we shouldn't give votes to the under 25's, they simply don't have a clue.

Or to the over 70s, because most of them won't be impacted by the time it all sorts itself out.

If the under 25's had any experience of the EU, they'd have voted out as well, like older demographics.

On what do you base this?

Looks Airbus could fully pull out of the UK too in the immediate future...

You can expect most other clearing banks to follow suit. It's hardly the end of the World.

Other bits will go to. It's do to with the relevant banking licenses and being able to conduct business in the EU. 2,000 jobs at £100k per person (salary and bonus) would equate to £30k per person in income tax, £16k in NI and revenue booked in Dublin instead of London. That's probably a £100m tax ticket out the window from just one employer...

Exactly, and this is why only OAP's should be allowed to vote.

You're a very disturbing person.

I am 25, brother is younger, lots of colleges and friends who have had experience of the EU, pretty much all bar 2 voted in. Just Like I am sure not all older people voted out. My POV and most friends and colleges of similar age, this is a train wreck.

The whole basis of this referendum is to abide by the will of the majority, clearly that majority has different views in Scotland and England so the very arguments justifying this referendum will justify a new Scottish one.

At the end of the day any referendum by the Scots won't be for a few years but Nicola could try her best to get a promise of one secured in the short term. Then the whole circus starts again except this time instead of salmond you will have sturgeon leading the way and I think we can all agree she is a lot more compelling!
As to how remain supporters are reacting I think it has to be remembered how very important this decision was, it was not merely a government change that we live with for 5 years and then say oops will vote different this time. of course people are going to be bitter because talk of respecting democracy does not change people's minds when some of us honestly think this is the wrong thing to do.
