EU Referendum Results Thread | Leave have won, Cameron resigns

[Red-Man-Walking]

Is the strength of the pound really relevant at this point?

My knowledge is super limited but my understanding is you buy/sell at the drop of a hat based on any market intelligence and traders are quick to do so, particularly if there's uncertainty/lack of confidence which there would be right now. It would recover, no?

If Britain leave the EU then a period of "uncertainty" would last at least months if not years as the mechanics and issues it would create around border control, Northern Ireland, EU subsidies for farmers, and god knows what else will take some time to sort out.

Reading one analysis piece saying that leave campaign successfully (maybe) turned the campaign into a view of if you vote stay you are voting with the elites? So a they played on the class divide is that true?

Amazing really when two of the three leading figures of the Leave campaign are an Eton educated man with royal ancestry and the current Lord Chancellor.

Need a couple of good results if I'm to sleep tonight.

Betfair fluctuating like George Osborne the week after a budget, it's recovered to 3.4 from about 2.4 five minutes ago. No-one has a clue really, it's all just reactions to what we're all watching together.

 

[Attila]

Wow

Which website is that from? Want to keep track of it through the night

 

[Manny]

I agree with that woman. Blame the government for our issues, not the EU.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Finally someone saying that the UK Government is to blame not the EU on BBC One.

Shame it happened after the polls closed, isn't it?

Basically we've been clutching the strength of the pound all day as a sign Remain was doing well, now it's lost all that we're shitting it again. In the absence of genuine info we'll snatch at anything.

Lindsay Lohan. Wtf.

Polls really are a load of crap.

Nigel Farage hates them too.

Not really no. It's going to be extremely volatile for a while as the country will be in a state of flux.

 

[Solius]

Think they'll take it in Pogs?

Doubt he'd leave Juve.

 

[ThierryHenry]

Those were just the two I saw specifically, was thinking more that it's indicative of a large turnout boost city-wide. GE2015 turnout - 59%.

Don't think people in Westminster or the City are reflective of anything in the rest of London.

I wish Angela Eagle was a more powerful speaker, she looks scared on TV there even if I agree with everything she's saying.

yes

[NinjaFletch]

Angela Eagle making the most coherent argument in the campaign so far at 00:41 the day after the polls closed.

 

[Manny]

As bad as that sounds for democracy but I agree. I feel so many people are misinformed in this one.

I don't know how Switzerland deals with having so many referendums a year.

Thats what I mean especially with social media. Leave have preyed on the economic ignorance of a lot of voters.

From our pals at RAWK:

Thought I'd have a game of Miniclip Pool to calm myself down, can't escape it though.

Exactly.

Not knowing what the Lord Chancellor is, I consulted wikipedia.

Hopefully unlike @Silva, I'm not going to sleep tonight after what I was greeted with:

It should be relevant for the brexiters because the lower the pound is, the easier it is for the foreigners to buy it and control your economy through the currencies stock.

 

[rcoobc]

we're gone

Nah she'll still accept cash.

Clearly you dont know her (i hope)

That has been Labour's message all way through

What a nightmare

Looks like we're gone

Britain, you shit the bed.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Leave up on expectations across the country. Bye guys I'm off to bed.

No idea to be honest, got it from twitter. One of the financial gurus on here may know.

 

[Ubik]

Every fecking bit of news good for Leave now.

 

[ThierryHenry]

We've heard from no-one from an individual constituency saying that remain is doing well or better than expected. Feck me, this is awful.

 

[esmufc07]

What if Cameron wakes up tomorrow, Leave have won, he marches out of 10 Downing Street and tells us all to go feck ourselves and that we're staying?

A bit like Mike Bassett and four four fecking two.

 

[Mystry]

I hate this country.

 

[Skills]

Yeah we're fecked

 

[Runner]

would be devastated if England left

That's the worst thing I've ever seen.

Haha yes please!!!

He fecked up. Should take one for the team and try that.

 

[TheReligion]

Certainly not the rapid expectations of recession that some here think. Market volatility is one thing but the impact on wider economy and then people lives won't be as you say.

Easy to get caught up in the doom mongering.

Exactly. Most people acting like the world will end if we leave the EU and there will be years or hardship. Newsflash. People in the UK are already suffering and have been under the current government for years. A leave vote will also show a complete lack of trust in our politicians and frankly who can blame them.
