EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

Came back to say congrats @-:Undertaker:-;

Also Dan - what happens to UKIP now? Haven't they lost their unique selling point now? I was going to ask yesterday whether it would be better for UKIP to lose the referendum (as SNP surged after they lost their referendum) - but alas I imagine leaving the EU is more important than seeing Farage in a position of power.

Also, can anyone even name a conservative MP that would do a decent job of leading the country? As much as I'm a labour supporter, I can't believe I'm saying that Cameron leaving is a bad thing.

@Kardan;

Thank you very much. :)

And as for Ukip who knows, but it has fulfilled it's historic destiny in what it was set up for so I wouldn't mind if it folded now. It really is quite amazing to think that you could say Nigel Farage is now the most influential politician of the last few decades and he never even made it into the House of Commons.

As for the next Prime Minister, I would like either Boris Johnson MP, Priti Patel MP or David Davies MP tbh.

Yeah I keep saying to the sour faced children having tantrums over the result that they can at least be happy that UKIP no longer has a reason to exist :P

I doubt just cos they've got what they want that they'll give up and call it a day haha

They can now be like 'oh we got you out of it now vote us in and we'll continue to make England better woo' rip

Also I completely agree Kardan, out of all the known tories who have a shot at replacing Cameron, I much prefer Cameron over them all even though I'd rather not

Anyone but Boris or Gove though :s

lmfao anyone who believes farage is an idiot.

he already proved that before.

All these totes open minded young voters seem to be forgetting that only a few months back they were trying to run e-petitions to get Cameron out of office, now he's suddenly a hero of the left who deserves another chance. Classic underdog syndrome

lol omg at this e-petition:

EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

So basically, they've looked at the results/turnout. 52/48 to leave, 72% turnout and just rounded up to the closest thing. It's currently got over 150k signatures which clearly shows how stupid social media campaigns can be.

Oh btw @-:Undertaker:-; I noticed that Liverpool voted to remain. I'm sure you're pleased with the result overall but must've been a punch in the gut to see that, especially with all the leafleting you've done!

Was the EU ref talked about during Scottish ref? Yes it shouldn't be an issue because Scotland voted to stay which means voting as one country, not seperating your own interests. Literally cannot stand Nicola Sturgeon. Haven't heard anyone really complain here about it. Hilarious if Sinn Fein think they would win with one here.

@Inseriousity.; I thought Liverpool would go Remain tbh but I hope I helped bring that percentage down a bit. ;)

It'd be interesting to see the split between northern Liverpool (more deprived, my area) and southern Liverpool.

You had a huge landslide in Middlesborough for Leave if my memory is correct? I was made up with Sunderland and Newcastle.
