I didn't vote on this market but I am gobsmacked. I don't know a single person who voted Leave. Who and where are all these people? I feel like a stranger in my own country this morning. It appears that this nation's future has been destroyed by the over-65s who aren't going to have to find jobs.

i should say, didn't BET on this market :)

I know people of all ages who voted out

Where in the country are you? I think we need a South of the M4 Independence referendum ;)

Cornwall but I have young family members in the East Midlands who voted out

A pleasing result wouldn't you say B-B ?
Thank you for your hard work on the campaign. My elderly Mam struggled to the voting booth with me yesterday, depute her many health problems, determined to do the right thing. |

Britain will look back on summer 2016 and wonder what the hell it was thinking. Desperately scared for the future. A victory for nostalgia and racism. Taking the country back to the 1930s. :(

We fought the Facists in Cable Street in 1926. We will fight them again if we have to! Bald and old as we may be! |

have a bit of faith in your country aziraphale, thank your mum alun and get her down for postal voting

A victory for nostalgia and racism.
LOLOL. Another one who thinks that people wishing to make their own laws and manage their own borders makes them 'racist'. Britain managed its own affairs for hundreds of years before the EU became supreme, whether Labour or Tory governments were in, yet no-one said that we did so out of racism and nostalgia. So tell me, are Australia, New Zealand, Canada and umpteen African countries all 'racist' because they manage their own affairs and borders then? |
|
By:
What exactly will you miss about being ruled by an unelected bunch of bureaucrats who you will never see making a public statement or be asked to justify what they do? Who we trade with and who we welcome to our country from anywhere in the world should be determined by our own Government and I'm very confident that we will export more not less in 5 years time.
|
|
By:
It's not us who decides who trades with us, it is the people we trade with. You can't make people buy your stuff. The Leave campaign made it sound like a divorce where you could still use the family home and shag the ex when it suited you.
|
|
By:
Alun> Australia and Canada have mineral wealth. They can export stuff. They are not reliant on financial services after destroying their primary industries like we have. And I don't hold up African countries as economic models we should be following, do you?
|
|
By:
I wonder if the workers at the Bavarian Motor Works will insist britain pays a 15% tariff to buy their cars?
Or Eric Cantona's Superstar Famers of Alsace insist we pay 15% more for our Kronenberg? I wouldn't give a XXXX of that happening! |
|
By:
I can assure you that after 45 years of running a business in Brazil, a trade deal with them will be the best thing that has ever happened for them. The EU will never trade with Brazil without penal tariffs to protect its own inefficient industries.

What a surprise. Wales voted clearly for Brexit but are already holding out their hands for more money.
|
|
By:
Aziraphale - I didn't make any comment whatsoever economic models or mineral wealth. As you well know.
Meanwhile, you used the word 'racist' (and you're not the first) to describe this victory for the 'Leave' campaign. Explain to me please how it is 'racist' to want to manage your own borders and make your own laws? Are countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and any number of African countries (and dozens of others all around the world) all 'racist' too for being independent sovereign nations? |

Not a single word from Boris yet. I wonder why.

Got to hold my hands up here. I thought the markets would have called the result, but in the end it wasn't even that close.
A lot of people on the forum called it correctly from their neck of the woods. My London bubble certainly didn't. |

24 Jun 16 09:39 Not a single word from Boris yet. I wonder why. Because he got shouted down outside his house. Now he is an Addison Lee taxi no doubt driven by an immigrant  , which, I find highly ironic! |

aziraphale,try,if possible,to accept that you are totally in the wrong.Your idiotic racist claim is very wide of the mark,and not applicable in this issue.You write as somebody very juvenile,and certainly have no idea what this great country is all about.
You probably missed the guy from Ghana stating why he and his family were voting out,and giving his many reasons. To come on here and state that you hadn't met anybody voting out shows that you appear to live in the student and academic world,as opposed to the real world.If I am wrong,then sorry,but that is the appearance from your posts. Yes,I will criticize the students over this issue as they all appeared to live in a strange world,unaware of reality,not mixing with "ordinary" folk.No surprise there,as many are so unstreetwise,and if it isn't in a book,or a pamphlet,then they can't accept it,just like many of our politicians. Get out more,and mix with genuine people. |

By:
Student and academic world? Hardly! Yes I went to university (the first in my working-class family ever to do so) but that was 20 years ago.

Perhaps the choice of word "racist" was inadvisable but certainly the Leave campaign has played on nostalgia and xenophobia with its constant refrain of "taking our country back". How does alienating ourselves from our main trading partners, and ensuring that we can no longer compete on a level playing field, benefit our country at all? They seem to be implying that a Leave vote means that the collieries will reopen, manufacturing will rise from the grave etc etc. I will be happy to be proved wrong but all I see is the start of a new recession that will make the previous financial crisis look like a picnic. I hope for my daughter's sake that I am wrong, because at the moment I see her growing up in an increasingly marginalised backwater.

By:
I really think that there are a whole range of reasons why people voted either in or out and that some may be based on xenophobia but the vast majority of the Brexit votes were about Governance. As I have said before, the EU commission make Blatter and Fifa look like amateurs. Much of the money that they get to spend disappears. That was my sole reason for voting leave.

6th largest economy - with no influence - we had almost none in the eu - we sure are going to have more outside as people will still want to sell their BMWs to us!!
A strange little marginalised backwater that is going to damage the world economy and bring about the collapse of the Eu. At least that is what remain told us. Anyone see mark carney's face this morning!! He sure backed the wrong horse!! |

LOLOL, it didn't stop you using that ridiculous word though, did it? Along with any number of other badly-informed persons who sprayed the word around like confetti, all through the Referendum campaign. So, effectively such persons are saying that all the White, Black, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani heritage etc persons who voted 'Leave' were ALL 'racist'. Absurd. |
