Absolute fuck biscuits.

Apparently it was us in the north that were most responsible.

Sorry.

66.2/33.8 for leave in my area.

Cameron has now resigned, leaving by October.

60/40 remain for scotland. Bye!

On the bright side... Cameron's out too.

But to be replaced by BoJo. 

Boris is in :((

Not definitely, but likely

You think the Conservatives can win an election after this?

They don't need to - BoJo will win leadership, still have 4(?) years left on their term in office. There won't be an early election, but I bet no one complains about how he's an unelected prime minister like they did with Brown.

What Kos said.

It's a Conservative Party thing, they elect a leader, they're the party in government, therefore the leader becomes PM. Much like Gordon Brown did.

Oh right :-(

Although saying that, they only have a majority of 17 or somethign so depending on how certain groups in the party behave it could be interesting...

I feel like I live in a racist country of idiots. I know, not everyone. Enough though, plenty enough. 

I've not checked mine out, but will do when I get a minute.

Just saw this on the BBC's site:
  So, even after this vote, is it the situation that the European Parliament can veto what we've just decided at the polls?

Not everyone, but about 52% of the population. :C

Edit - Actually, that's an egregious slur, inflated by my disappointment in the results.

However, the people I know and have spoken to about it, who voted out are, for the most part, 50yr+ who are racist.

 

They can veto a proposed new trading (etc) agreement, not the referendum.

Can I come too? :D

The wife actually said she wanted to move to Scotland after hearing the result this morning.

What's your policy on immigration?
 

wow, so glad you all decided to accept the 'democratic will of the people' with such good grace, would hate to see you get all bitter about it

I accept the will of the people, doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

I assume you accepted the will of the people electing Tony Blair as Prime Minister 3 times whilst being overjoyed?
 

Yeah I'm pretty bitter right now. Looks like we're heading for a deep recession, taking down much of Europe with us on that path. My kid's future prospects for just about everything are now adversely affected - education, healthcare, culture, travel. My own immediate prospects also seeing as the company I work for does a lot of work in Europe.

Meanwhile, as I posted on here a day or two ago, I don't believe many of the reasons people voted Leave are at all valid and I don't believe the government we're about to get from it are going to do anything good for those people either. And the main opposition party look like they're about to oust their leader and hop back on the immigration controls bandwagon that already failed them last GE, based on a 4 point gap in this referendum. It's an absolute joke.

I'm not really sure, Jon, what kind of reaction from us you'd be hoping for. Nobody's threatening civil war or to somehow 'undo' it, the vote is done and dusted. At some point in the next few days I wish to progress past grief and bitterness to some kind of hope that somehow we can rescue a good future out of this but right now I am not optimistic so please do share any thoughts you have along those lines, I would truly welcome it.

I genuinely don't understand the whole "grief and bitterness" aspect

I have been hoping for this day for over 20 years and I'm amazed it has finally come

​Do you really think our country is so shit we can't decide things for ourselves any more? are we so dumbed down that we have to be told what to do?

Why will "education, healthcare, culture, travel be  adversely affected" ? we will have more money available for things like that.

​I see a bright new future ahead, we can make our own trade deals deal with the whole world, we can choose our own immigration policy, our fishing, farming, etc will be conducted more fairly. Hopefully our old friends in the Commonwealth won't hold too many grudges for the appalling way we treated them when we joined the EU.

What we had was a shit deal with a shit organisation (even they admit that) - the future may be uncertain but almost anything has to be better.
