Who's for IN and who's for OUT:

[wigginhall]

Well, Frank Field has said that Labour voters are protesting against globalization.   I think to that you can add austerity and immigration.   Whether they will get a reduction in any of them is a moot point, under Boris or Gove or whoever.   If there is a recession, maybe more.

[jeremyp]

When we joined the EU we had lots of factories and manufacturing industries.

They have nearly all gone.

Not true. British manufacturing has enjoyed steady growth since the war (excluding a couple of blips during recessions).

I hope Jeremy and others don't lose their jobs.

I'll be OK. My contract here finishes today anyway. Next week I'm off to Brussels. Hopefully the hotel staff won't be spitting in my food. The employees here might be OK too, but there is serious uncertainty.

[jeremyp]

I wonder who will put their names forward to be the next PM? I reckon that the following might wish to do so.

Boris
Gove
Ian Duncan Smith
Michael Fallon
Theresa May
Philip Hammond
Sajid Javid
George Osborne

I think Javid and Osborne would be the best of a bad job!

Osborne is finished.

[floo]

Reasonable list, Floo. Another likely candidate is Stephen Crabb. I can't help but think that it will be won by a Brexit supporter.

Sad but probably true, unless things go really pear shaped in the next month or two!

I see two Labour MPs have called for a no confidence vote where Corbyn is concerned. His lacklustre performance certainly didn't help the Remain camp!

[L.A.]

Osborne is finished.

Osborne made the fatal mistake of telling people an unpalatable truth.

[Nearly Sane]

Osborne made the fatal mistake of telling people an unpalatable truth.

Missed that - he's finished because Brexit

[L.A.]

Missed that - he's finished because Brexit

Yes but that is because the truth that he struggled to tell was not believed.

The saddest thing I've seen, already mentioned by blue, is that the young voted fairly heavily for Remain, while older people voted for Leave.   They will be dead, while the young will have to live with the decisions that the elderly made.

I jokingly said some time ago, that people over 70 should not be allowed a vote on this.

At least the young have the option of emigrating, the old will probably have to live the rest of their lives with the consequences of their actions.

As Sean Lock put it when talking of the referendum.
''That's another turd that generation have left on the doorstep of history''

It looks horribly like the UK (if it still exists) will have to go cap in hand & ask for readmission in ten years time, on other countries terms.

I have dual British and Irish Nationality. I am pleased I obtained Irish nationality in 2008 as I could do so. It might come in useful in the future, in view of the deep proverbial the UK is likely to be in!

[Harrowby Hall]

I jokingly said some time ago, that people over 70 should not be allowed a vote on this.

I'm over 70 - and in general terms I agree.

I also think that when it comes to important constitutional issues and that very unBritish device the referendum is used that the trigger for change should be either more than 50% of the people entitled to vote or more than 66.6% of the turnout.

Agreed. Every organisation that I have ever joined has required 66.6% to approve a constitutional change.

You have no loyalty to the uk and its people then?

[Sebastian Toe]

Saddened by the news; want to apologise that my confidence in the commonsense of the British (sorry English and Welsh) electorate was misplaced when I predicted a Remain vote 18 - 24 months ago.

You obviously haven't had sufficient contact with your prayer groups then!

 

[jeremyp]

Yep.

[Bubbles]

I don't think it's very democratic for the losing side to demand a re-vote, because they don't like the result.

I voted remain and it lost, now we have to get on with it, and show some backbone.

We, as a group of people, have to put our differences aside and knuckle down to it.

The only people that can make it work is us.

It is, what it is.

We need a direction now, we need to get the best trading deal we can from Europe and we need to show what we are made of.

We need to win back the respect of Europe.

We need to stop whinging and demanding a resit.

It's time to move on, and support each other.

Refuse to take up offers from call centres based abroad, support our local small businesses, stop buying cheap goods from China etc, and buy quality goods from the uk.

We need to support each other.

A re vote isn't democratic.

It's pathetic.

I'm not happy now crawling and grovelling back to the E U just because some of my fellow remain voters can't accept democracy.

It is, what it is.

[jeremyp]

At least the young have the option of emigrating, the old will probably have to live the rest of their lives with the consequences of their actions.

You forget, part of the reason for doing this is to control immigration. There's no reason now for other EU countries to let our emigrants in.

[jeremyp]

Why be loyal to people who have just destroyed the UK?

[jeremyp]

I don't think it's very democratic for the losing side to demand a re-vote, because they don't like the result.

Who is demanding a revote?

I voted remain and it lost, now we have to get on with it, and show some backbone.

There's nothing wrong about being very angry with the fuckwits who did this to us.

[ekim]

When it comes to survival, fight or flight are two of the basic instincts and they probably test loyalty.

[Aruntraveller]

Given that already the BREXIT side have admitted their untruths during the campaign - namely that 350 million WON'T go to the NHS (Nigel Farage) and that we will still have free movement of people (DAniel Hannon MEP) I think a revote is the least they could do.

People were seriously misled by the Leave campaign.

Whereas the Remain campaign said that Sterling would take a big hit (true already) that the EU would not be at all friendly to us re negotiations (true already) that there would be instability in the markets (true already). Oh and we are now not as big an economy as we were 48 hours ago.

So Remain didn't actually mislead us - but Leave did on the evidence so far.

Rose - one could argue that it is anti-democratic to have lied over such an important and hugely influential decision in terms of our living standards and economic opportunities.

Personally a revote is the least I would want - I would then like to see Boris, Nigel and co up on charges of treason!

It's a democracy,  we now need to unite and move on, not behave like spoilt little children having a tantrum.
