In or Out Exit Poll

[Angie4m]

I'm sure there was an awful lot of people who like me stood there with pencil in hand still unsure which way to vote and ended up thinking better the devil you know.
These last minute stay votes could make all the difference by the look of things!?

My thoughts too , many have no real idea if they would be better or worse off hence indecision or apathy :?
Anyhow voting over , counting underway

I read this morning people urging those who were still 'undecided' to vote 'IN' because if the European Union did something that made us want out, Parliment could call another referendum on it but if they voted 'OUT' and we were out then there was no going back.

Also this was a vote on EU membership not on Europe, it's a continent and no matter the outcome we would still be Europeans and in Europe. I am fed up reading and hearing people outwith this forum going on about us 'leaving Europe' if you can't distinguish between the EU and Europe then to be honest the right to vote should be removed.

If it is as close as the YouGov Poll suggests...

The result could well be that England, Wales and Ireland vote to leave but the Scottish percentage of the vote is enough to keep UK in Europe.

How does that make you Leave voters feel and what should be done?

Should Scotland be ejected from the UK on the back of the result if it is as above?

Should the UK be split up immediately?

Yes Steve, I think the whole thing will be decided by the unsure element going for the remain option.

I've found the whole thing difficult, I have changed my opinion several times over the weeks but finally made my mind up last week. Remain for me.

All I heard was what would happen if we leave...
Doom and gloom. The seas will boil. Anarchy would preside. Godzilla will come and eat your face off. Bullshit scaremongering.
Same as others just sick and tired of being told you can't deport that criminal. You can't send that terror suspect back because the EU says it infringes on their human rights. It's our country we should be able to do what we want inside our own borders.
I have no objection to anyone who wants to come and live and work here and pay into the system as I have done all my working life. We don't need any more scroungers flooding the country we have enough of the lazy bastards born and bred here that are doing a good job of crippling this country.

Breathes......That's it I'm done......see what happens.

Agree with all that but leaving the EU just makes it harder for us to get on s a country. Most of all the scroungers and idiots that pervade our society are homegrown from what I can see.

[Barrow]

I'm still watching the poles its 1 o'clock

 

[Barrow]

Now 2 o'clock
It's I good job I'm on holiday tomorrow/. Today

 

[Angie4m]

Hardly anything in it right now. Only 84,851 votes between them and a flurry of Out coming through. Too close to call right now.

 

[Angie4m]

And in the blink of an eye, OUT, sorry Leave (technical term) has gone from strength to strength as 50.2% of the vote. Interesting looking at how regions are voting too.

And then it's swung right back the other way to 50.2% In (remain)

 

[Angie4m]

The Leave vote is really running away with it at the moment. I actually want to sleep but I'm transfixed by watching the figures.

 

[original guvnor]

What is clear, is that England is clearly voting out from every single region (rich or poor) and sending a message that the time for London to get the lions share of investment and economic growth is coming to an end.

What a car crash. I bet most of the people voting leave are doing so for immigration reasons and have no idea what the economic impact will be. It's already looking like my holidays will be more expensive. Give a monkey a toy...

Indeed, infact we've seen people on here go on the immigration bandwagon. Leaving the EU won't stop immigration but it will reduce the automatic entry of other EU residents. I think after the negotiations of the EU deal, it should have been allowed to be implemented and then maybe this referendum held.

Companies outwith the UK already planning pricing 'adjustments' for a Leave vote.

If people think we are 'rip off Britain' at the moment and think things are expensive, it's about to get a whole lot more expensive!

But don't worry cause we'll be like these other European countries that aren't part of the EU and be even richer than before........probably not, well not in the near future.

Just hope there aren't a lot of people on here due to retire shortly with pensions in either SIPPs or the markets, who haven't liquidated their funds cause the value of any pension pot may make for unhappy reading especially those nearing retirement.

 

[PerryGunn]

My prediction is that the land slide for remain will be bigger than expected, I am going for 60/40 for remain.

Well you were a bit wide of the mark there....

 

[TitanTim]

Agree with Angie, value of the £ has already dropped hasn't it. I'm guessing it will take two years or so to come into affect but really think we'll be paying through our pockets now.

Well my Pension has already gone down the pan along with thousands of others due to "Foreign Investment ". Company driven into nothingness, pensions funds basically robbed blind and lots of people left extremely frustrated. Yes our company has been taken over, for know, we were all offered a mug from our new owners, one guy summed it all up in one statement when he refused to take it......this is the most expensive mug in the world, it's cost me £150,000!!!

We'll have to embrace the fact that we're out and see what the coming years have to offer.

There's one hell of a lot of Countries out of the EU who do very well for themselves and still trade with the EU in billions, there's also lots who are on their arses with poverty and financially but the UK has never been on it's arse.

It's the beginning of a process leaving the EU and not doom and gloom that some 'big wigs' are predicting.

I voted out and was always going to.

Listened to Radio 2. Jezza Vine's show, to hear about the old lady who'd had a fall and drank the melting ice water from her freezer to stay alive for 6 days. She was in a right state when found and had only one change of clothes, little bedding and even less money to survive on.

Then I see the millions piled into immigrants by our Gov't so that they can live in our country that they've paid absolutely zilch in to.

Basically, just 1 example from today where we screw our own over and pamper those from abroad all because the EU say 'jump' and we say how high?

I don't disagree with any of that but imo the electorate simply wasn't given a simple list of what would or wouldn't change with in or out vote :?
Do you believe the above circumstance would change if the vote is for out ?
Do you believe that illegal immigrants would receive no benefits if they made it here should the vote be out ?
The political speak was all too vague which should tell the masses that even those in charge have little idea what a out vote would entail
Momentous event whichever way

Agreed Mr Wilks, there's nothing in my post that could've been different IN or Out but as a Country, we've not looked after are own for many a year and having the EU overseeing what we do as a Country wasn't working for everybody on a hourly basis let alone a daily basis.

I think the financial cuts in the NHS/Armed Forces/Police Forces/Fire Brigade etc etc.... the important things we all rely on, as put a massive dent into the Remain campaign, it wasn't all about immigration.

Lot's of knowledgeable people are in that 17.4million who voted out, people who are sick and tired of.......well, just sick and tired basically.

Cameron, not for the first time, has got to suck eggs and try and get his credibility back on track that's for sure.

It's the beginning of a process leaving the EU and not doom and gloom that some 'big wigs' are predicting.

Precisely... it would be foolish to think that it'll be a painless process but, by the same token, it won't be as bad as the doom-mongers were saying - it'll be somewhere in-between.

Now's the time for the politicians to earn their salary by ensuring that the disentanglement is as easy as possible for both sides

Well said!! Glad some of us feel optimistic. It's about the next generation not us and our pensions that were goosed long ago anyway.

Don't panic over the news in the next few days. You will see positives come out of it also.. Eventually. Though admittedly I can't stand to see Farages smug face. Hope Cameron remains to be honest.

Markets recovering slightly already...
