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

[Jono8]

So how do we get round that one?

So far the best answer i have had on this one in this thread is essentially "wishful thinking".

People voting to brexit due to housing concerns will have more to worry about when their existing homes dissolve into the sea I guess.

I suppose so but I still doubt if that will have a significant effect or if it will send them even further for brexit

 

[MichaelAwkward]

would be nice to have a conversation with someone who voted leave in one of these places

Surely its obvious that they just don't feel the effects or see the benefits of all this EU funding?

 

[RoboCod]

I don't take any comment you make seriously.

Yet you went and swore at me none the less.

Let's get along.

Ok great that will of course apply ro all future referendums.

So the default position is leave.

And eill remain so unless remain get more than 60% of 75% turnout.

If they dont achive that the leave vote stands

With respect, you being Welsh, you should never have had any input.

Maybe they simply did not like the hand that was feeding them? They have the right to reject that and not be called ignorant..

Obviously there will be many who considered the issues, knew what there was too lose and decided they preferred leave as is their democratic right. But there will be a sizeable proportion who had no idea. Heck there were plenty of those in the threads on here and they are people who are more engaged with the process than the average voter!

Or know the benefits were as a result of EU funding...

The United Kingdom couldn't be any less united right now!

I agree with that. The rest of your post is wrong though.

Why is he a fruitcake?

He is a true hero of this nation.

He was used by a few power hungry Tories for their own ends. Nothing more, nothing less. He might get a safe seat as a token gesture of goodwill at some point, but a hero? Nah. Carswell did more from the Kipper side than anyone to put a coherent, fruit-free (as much as possible with the material) argument across.

 

[Mauller]

The role of the second house is to stop the lower house passing stupid ass laws in haste or kneejerk reactions.
As soon as we make that house elected, it loses the ability to perform its role.

Better just scrap it completely if you want change, rather than pay for two sets of the same thing.

What i was thinking is that it should be elected for the reason you stated, but made of Technocrats and not politicians. So leaders and people from industry and the public services etc.

Problem is access to the eu free markets comes with freedom of movement.

So how do we get round that one?

But the things is it can be seen such as renovations on the seafront or new piers and sea defenses with the sign that says funded by EU grant. That's what baffles me is they can see but still vote leave so I want to hear the real reason

No one who votes brexit gives a damn about Carswell.

Farage and Ukip is the reason we have a referendum in the first place.

I think some-one replied to this but I can't find the post

what happens if the House of Lords go against the vote ?

they are not democratically elected they can vote as they see fit as being best for the Country

 

[delta0]

But who?
Anyone political, or just some sky reporter making things up again?

I didn't take note of the names. They were people being interviewed so not part of sky. There are papers mentioning this from a few days ago too. It seems to be expected even before the result.

I keep seeing this theme re-appearing, would be nice to have a conversation with someone who voted leave in one of these places.

Well norn iron always did well out of the eu, yet the dup told their minions to vote leave and many did. The party cheered and was delighted with the overall result.
Frankly for us, with the least immigration in the uk, and with the strongest links to our southern neighbour for everything, from joint healthcare, coastguard and energy projects, it is an utterly dumbassed view.
Well done dup, you won again, and norn iron will be worse off, again.

 

[thebennyboy]

I agree with that. The rest of your post is wrong though.

In or out, this vote has done a lot of damage. Whoever is elected in October to replace DC is going to have a very though job of overseeing us leaving and rebuilding the confidence of half the voters.

 

[Scania]

There is a petition for parliament to skip it's usual summer break to deal with the fall out.

Sod having a poll on this, they should just get on with it!

It's very strange, again though I would like to hear or have a conversation with these people on their views and opinions as it goes over my head. People must have a rational and suitable reason

Oh, so you've sampled and polled the great and the good of the 17 mil people that voted that way? Do tell.

Farage and Ukip is the reason we have a referendum in the first place.

Yes and no. You can be a Schrödinger Kipper if you like.
