[Closed] EU Referendum - are you in or out?

"Glad that's over and as stated earlier I'm looking forward to no discernable changes. As you were people."

This.

"Well, that was a early morning shock! Peed off I didn't buy my dollars yesterday, but hey I'm sure it will all bounce back as the dust settles!"

and this...

Employment - already been a mention of making a decision today about making an individual redundant, we are not likely to let anyone go at the moment but a role I was going to fill in October will be put on hold to see how much belt tightening our clients make. I have a bit of a feeling that the 48% who voted in are the ones making a lot of these types of decisions. For our business over the next 2 - 3 years we would have employed at least another 2 IT grads and it seems unlikely that will happen even if business picks up - economies are all about confidence and that has just evaporated

I missed the part where Jeremy Corbyn, as an act of political expediency to win the GE, decided he would hold a EU referendum. 😕

Well I was in , but now we're out, I'm gutted , but not suprised.

I am utterly ashamed of of my country this morning. As well as being despondent for my childrens future.

General election by Christmas - France to call referendum to leave...House of cards etc etc......Where's JHjive when you need him?

What we need now is another referendum, with a question along the lines of
"When would you like the government to start the process to leave the EU"
a)ASAP
b)Never

I wonder how many people voted Leave as a protest, and would change their choice given the chance.

This will be David Camerons legacy, in the same way that Iraq is Tony Blairs

BINNERS where are you, give us hope

People are way off the mark if they think 'out' voters will be disappointed. Society and politics doesn't work like that. Look at the Tory voters. Tory were voted in and are screwing everyone over but do you hear people wishing they hadn't voted Tory? No, they get more right wing and blame the EU and immigration, not the party who they voted in who is actually the problem.

I've the same reaction as nearly everyone I know, which is today I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be British; and it's a good day for bigots and racists.

Makes me wonder if this is a country that I want my child to grow up in.

Best of three?

So Farige has admitted the 350m figure for the NHS was a'mistake'

Doesn't seem to have slowed him down much. Doing very well for himself.

I am utterly ashamed of of my country this morning.

I'm assuming the STW demographic is from the South East and Scotland!?

Or just under 50.

Buillders shares are in freefall:

redrow -76%
Bovis -56%
Taylor Wimpey -35%
etc...

Farage wasn't part of the 'vote leave' campaign that made it.

The result is not what I wanted (or voted for) but I am not surprised.

I was undecided how to vote and found the Remain campaign very poor and something instinctive within me was very tempted to vote Leave. The fact that many on here and in wider society were labelling me a racist xenophobe for daring to consider this also pushed me towards leave.

I fought through this, sought out sensible views and articles (the one posted on here by the professor from Liverpool university was very influential) and made a balanced decision to vote Remain.

I guess many people did not bother to do this and went with their gut feeling. The spirit of Agincourt, Trafalgar, Battle of Britain and Orwell are still deeply embedded in the English psyche and the unelected EU officials anti-democratic are anathema to many voters.

Disappointed at the result and think things would have gone differently in the Remain campaign had conducted a more positive campaign (and pro-Remainers wound their necks in, stopped throwing around abusive terms and respected democracy).

FWIW, I'm utterly ashamed of your country too.

Yes. It's like being handcuffed to an idiot.

I have no understanding of why a country would do this to itself. Or perhaps more pertinently why a country should be allowed to do this to itself.

Doesn't the government owe some sort of duty of care to its citizens that should prevent self harm?

Possibly Cameron to resign. On the news just now.

"Nigel Farage has been branded “unbelievably insensitive and crass” after claiming the Leave party had emerged victorious in the EU referendum “without a single bullet being fired” in a preemptive victory speech."

Congratulations everyone

Possibly Cameron to resign. On the news just now.

Jolly good, we'll have the poundstretcher Trump in charge instead.

*stops timer*

I voted in, my dad voted out. It's his birthday today, so I can't boo him till tomorrow 🙁

Great that we are leaving. Shame it's too late.

Cameron is going..

Christ....who next? Gove? Johnson? Jamba?

What a choice 🙁

Only one thing for it - purges, lots of purges.

Cam-Gone... by October

I just love the obvious Remain supporters judging the UK as being small-mnded and racist as a result of this vote but I didn't see them tarring Norway, Switzerland etc, etc with the same brush.

I also love people wringing their hands like it's the end of the World and they might as well drown their kids now to save them from the misery to come. Get over it, life will go on and there will be many positives and negatives to argue about in the coming years.

"new leadership"

Cameron resigns...

He's off

That'll have a stabilising effect.

It is sadly very evident to me this morning from scanning through my Facebook news feed that most of those people I know who are celebrating the result of the referendum are the very people I feared voting the most.

They're not the well educated, rational, intelligent, considerate folk. I'll leave it at that. Actually, I won't - from firsthand experience of these people having grown up among them, they're mostly ****tards who wouldn't stand a chance of spelling EU referendum, let alone understand the consequences of voting leave.

Pessimistic I know, but I can't help but think we could end up with a lot of the perceived drawbacks of our current EU membership in order to get the trade deals we need, just without the many, many benefits.

However, the country (very tempted to leave the o out) has spoken, my hope is that the EU now craps itself and our negotiations to leave actually lead to membership/association of/with a different type of European institution, which will be in our better interest.

Well this mixes things up

Three months of intense infighting and positioning for the leadership.

The only person I want to see in the job is Jacob Rees-Mogg.

...and I have no idea why. He's just bloody hypnotic.

£5 on Theresa May I think.

So now you'll have a more right wing Conservative government, and the prospect of perma-tory once Scotland does what it needs to do. Reap what you sow.

pretty much sums up my position, reluctant remainer, almost went to leave after Junckers "no more reform".

what should have worried the remain campaign is that people like me were wobbling

Cameron going is going to create further uncertainty and chaos

Agent Corbyn succeeded in his mission

Excellent speech from Cameron.

Well done Britain. No, I really mean it guys. Well done you.

I suppose it would be undemocratic to deny anyone their right to walk blindfold off a cliff on the say so of some manipulators who stand to gain from it.

I've always said that we should consider having some kind of IQ test before granting the right to vote to anyone. This seems proof.

Oh, and this is another good reason why we should NEVER have proportional representation in this country. The electorate as a whole cannot be trusted not to give in to their baser motives.
