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

[grudas]

I think this thread just shows the complete misunderstanding of the whole thing, how can your average Joe make a decision on something like this when both sides were full of lies? How can the actual vote even be going through, it is such a massive change to everything and it will affect future generations but the vote was literally fueled by lies and hate on each side. It should have been done with pure facts from day one, comparing the good and the bad of leaving/staying by someone unbiased.

Majority of people I work with voted to stay, a few to leave and I totally respect their decisions but it's abit sad watching some videos or reading news, social network posts where people go "oh ivoted this and that but I didn't think it would count lol, now id like to change my vote" only then do you realise just how uninformed majority of the voters were

 

[Raymond Lin]

You must keep voting until we get the answer we want!

Sounds like the SNP.

That petition will get nowhere. As much as I want it to be real, that isn't going to happen.

 

[Kanpai]

No, because the majority are ignorant. The funny thing is they voted against their own interests, the poorest will get hit the worst again if the economy goes to ****.

Really is amazing to see how blind nationalism causes people to jump off a bridge because some chain smoking racist told them a bunch of lies.

Lmao.

And at the end of it, they will still blame immigrants

Taken from this article

"The deeper fear among Tory remainers now isn’t just of a recession. It’s about the rise of something new in British politics, unleashed when politicians with scant respect for truth meet desperate voters; and for the backlash to come, when it sinks in that Brexit hasn’t ended immigration overnight or magically given depressed communities their futures back. Already, one wonders what those who voted desperately for change make of being told there’s no rush to invoke article 50."

It's as if the reality of the situation is too great to comprehend ACTUALLY doing it. They asked should we leave not expecting a YES. Now that they have to do it, they are not sure if it's a good idea....

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Think you probably need to work harder in life and stop blaming everyone else. Entitlement issues in this country are rife.

Oh more of this asinine drivel again?

 

[wordy]

Conversely, can the Brileavers be smug gits like the bremainians when the EU collapses under its own weight and the UK having left rides it out better than the rest?

No. That'd be racist.

 

[muon]

I'm confused by the constant claim that it was 'liberal lefties' who voted Remain, when we all know that David Cameron and a substantial percentage of the entire Tory voting bloc was in favour of staying.

A pretty bizarre comment as well. A significant proportion of Labour voters decided to leave (some of which was an anti tory vote).

Which some are putting down to Corbyn's apathy on the issue.

 

[Slackjaw190]

Would this happening be far from the truth?

Vote to leave won, Cameron resigns, in a few years a general election comes and the new government ignores the leave vote and say oh that was the previous government's referendum..

I my eyes this is a plausible outcome and a way around the referendum.

I can't see leave being able to form a government. Then, if the parties land up being led by pro eu people they have got there based on that mandate to keep the UK in the EU.

And this is the fault of London how?

What you conveniently forget is that during those two years the government ran significant deficits to keep the country going, paying benefits, supporting businesses, keeping consumer demand going. These things all ensured you had part time work to go to.

If you check the table posted above covering 2010/2011, deficits which were supported by London and the South East. The numbers aren't too different for any other year.

Without London, you would be a lot worse off, back then and now. Not better off.

My point is that when London made bad decisions and crashed the economy the rest of the country had to deal with the consequences, now London is going to have to deal with the consequences of this decision

The petition going round on Facebook is hilarious. Crybabies who don't understand democracy.

 

[Freakbro]

I also agree with others on here that the leave voters or a large portion of them where to topple Cameron and his Stooge George, who have lied and ****ed over the working\poor class of this country. There was only so much **** they will take, as witnessed.

I did.

If that was the reason you voted out of the EU then that's just pathetic and probably worse than the morons who voted on one of the lied about issues, at least their excuse is their stupidity

Exactly. London loves to dictate to the rest of the country and takes no responsibility when they screw everyone else over. But they have a tantrum when the rest of the country decides to do things differently.

They are the main reason Scotland wanted to leave in the first place.

This isn't set in stone though is it? So why quit? I thought this wasn't official until Article 50.

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

Winston Churchill

Think it's quite a fitting quote in this situation.

 

[Angerer]

I wasn't happy with the result of last nights EuroMillions draw, because I didn't win. So I think I'll demand a redraw of the numbers until I get the result I want.

London didn't cause anything. The credit crisis was a result of financial contagion spreading from the sub-prime credit crisis in America. It didn't just affect the UK, but the whole of Europe and most of the world.

The UK wasn't worse off simply because London existed. The financial centre of Europe could have been in Paris and the UK economy would still have been severely affected.

 

[pepsilol]

Anyone else waking up feeling like it's all a dream? It feels just so surreal to me.

Something this important was left upto the general public. The more I think about it, the more I get confused on how this even happened.

 

[balky12]

Oh more of this asinine drivel again?

Then why are you crying? We had a vote. Leave won. Move on with your life.

Get off this forum and go find that ladder that you claim has been pulled away from you. Then climb it.

I noticed you didn't want to comment on the life opportunities of Southern Europeans, after crying that your opportunities have been dramatically impacted by those pesky old people.

Like I said previously, as long as you're alright ey?

Meh.... can't argue with that. 2008 was entirely on their shoulders.

Either way it isn't a game of tit for tat though.

ummm... Don't even know where to start...
