EU referendum

[goalmole]

Tusk now saying that EU law will remain within the UK after we have left the arrogant fooker.
Freedom of movement will not end he thinks and says.

This is why we have just voted as we have because of the sheer arrogance of them all.

He may be right. Although we will leave the EU, we will still have to deal and trade with it. If we want to have favourable trade deals with it, you can bet there will be conditions attached. We won't be in it but we will continue to be influenced by it. There is no such thing as 100% sovereignty for any country, in this interconnected global village, if it wants to be successful.

cameron to announce his resignation in ten mins

I think that's a mistake. I don't like him but the last thing we need is more instability at the moment and I think he's better suited to negotiating our exit than Boris would be.

It was a completely secret ballot and nobody can claim to know how people voted.

Those that do are trying to pigeon hole sections of society and place blame on them for obvious reasons, something politicians do very well all the time by demonising sections of society as and when it suits to do so.

exactly............The UK has voted out in any case so its all a waste of hot air now

The leave campaign need to put a muzzle on Farage sharpish. Obviously 'remainers' are never going to be a fan of his but some of his comments are doing nothing but causing more division. Saying it was won 'without a shot being fired' is just deliberately provocative and helps absolutely nothing, other than his craving for attention.

It's a democracy and nothing anyone can do. He spent 25 years getting to this point so he can gloat if he wants. Both campaigns were loose associations of individuals in any case - and he wasn't even invited into the official leave campaign.

Surely it was never anything to do with Farage anyway as he doesn't form part of the government?

Well it was him that just said he was wrong to say the 355 million would be spend on hospitals

Seeing the result this morning convinced me more than any article that my vote was the right one for me. Obviously a done vote in black and white hits home harder than the guff leading up to the election but I'm still surprised how disappointed I am with the result. That said, one vote, one voice, great turnout - this was proper democracy in action, and for that alone I support the outcome. I hope this puts renewed pressure on scrapping FPTP for the general elections.

There was a breakdown last night from YouGov and a different polling organisation.

Well they haven't got a clue have they as borne out by the result this morning.

We have voted out its that simple and young, old, Tory, Labour, UKIP, Lib Dem, Green will have voted both in and out, its been that sort of debate and referendum.

The blame for the result lies at the door of every government since we entered the Common Market who allowed us to get deeper and deeper in to the European project without allowing us a vote on whether we wanted it or not, end of.

I guess the Nolito deal is off now?

No

With the scapegoat of the EU now gone, I wonder who we will find to blame for our troubles now.

Well given the UK is still in the EU for a minimum two year period, no one.

most def correct,,watch out for Holland and Sweden they will be first,then a chain reaction of breakup

I personally believe you are both correct, my guess is that this is the beginning of the end for the EU. My thoughts yesterday though were that maybe Spain or Italy next.....
