I wanted Labour to win last year, I wanted to remain in the EU this year
So you're the one to blame for this

Some of these wins for the leave campaign are crushing, it's nearly 2-1 I some of the councils.
Where as virtually all the remain wins are tight as feck.
I thought this whole thing might just be some grand political exercise to appease a segment of the political and voting population, and give some weight to further negotiations with Europe.
Looks like it's backfired a bit

The daft thing is that non-EU migration is already over 100,000 comfortably.
We control that, yet seem to have done little about it. Little to suggest leaving the EU will actually change immigration figures to be honest. Maybe a slight reduction in EU numbers.
Labour is buried until someone revolutionary comes along who actually changes the mindset of people.
Sentiment in this county has swung big from left to right. The question I wonder is how far.
Noises coming out that Birmingham has voted to leave. If that's true, feck me.
This is pretty much exactly what David Cameron thought. His arrogance in believing people would never go against him has been costly.
Wait. this is really happening? I never took this seriously.
Leave 700k up now.
He needs to go the way of Ramsey Bolton.
I think you sort of answered your own question there; if it politically expedient to ease off, that's what they'll do. And remember that even some Tories stood firm against Osborne's tax credit reforms.
So much is going to happen. It's just impossible to know.
Everyone please stop it with the Game of Thrones mentions. Third time a GoT reference has been made in this thread.
Off to bed for real now.

It's going to be hard to do if our economy is kind of fecked. And some of those Tories included Ian Duncan Smith with his bizarre crocodile tears, highlighting the self-serving, selfish nature of some of these Tories.
I assume you share my fears about the complete lack of opposition - given this result is likely to destroy Labour?
Yeah...I'm split. On one hand, the references are very apt and mostly fit, but then obviously they're spoilers and that.
shocking at how out of touch politico's and hangers on have been about the mood of the nation.
Am I right in thinking it's a bit rich of the UK people to complain about the rise of the Trump in the US of A?
Chicago. Lived in LA for a few years and Spain before that. Gonna have to move again if Trump gets in.
We don't have control over EU immigration though and that's simply too big an issue. If you read my post, all 5 EU colleagues came over here without a job first. Two of the three non-EU came over as students and are on visas, one was married to a Brit.
Just stick to spolier from season 1-5
For example Cameron needs to go the way of Joffrey
This upcoming Birmingham result will seal it.
Looks like brum is going to be tight to. Ffs
Im totally confused at how he won last election with such a huge majority and mandate
No. That's a stretch, as much as this hurts right now.
Leave 800k ahead, no going back.
We get less EU then non EU, and all your colleagues are working and paying taxes so where is the problem?
This is their chance to compete. Hopefully they've outdone us and Clinton will win in November. If not, Idiocracy is going worldwide.
But what suggestion is there that leaving the EU will actually influence immigration when it has not led to a decrease in non-EU immigration?
After I graduated Uni, I moved to Spain and got a job teaching English. Was tough going initially but I ended up managing a hotel at night. After learning Spanish, I moved to LA for a change of scene. I over stayed my visa and married a bartender I met in Vegas. Got my green card and 13 years later I'm still here.
That old chestnut.
All Scottish regions voted remain, thanks again England.
That's that then, UK has left the EU. fecking hell.
His only competition was from an awkward nerd and the Scots have replaced Labour with the SNP
In an age of globalisation -- economies of scale and economic unions being formed globally, I cant see how the UK can stand alone -- worse still when Wales, NI and Scotland apply for independence.
Will England join Nafta? (Change its name to North American Free Trade Agreement to North Atlantic?)

all the noises coming from brussels are they might make an example of us to put of other country's from leaving.
but think the EU is going to struggle, it is already in trouble with so many failing economy's and has to figure out how to deal with its biggest customer leaving the free market.
i think the one thing you can count on is if our economy go down the toilet, the the EU's will too.
Just push for a second referendum of independence, Scotland will be fast tracked to the EU, the financial services will move from London to Edinburgh. Sorted
To a degree. As I know, or at least when I was in the states, the US had issues with illegal immigration from Mexico etc. However this isn't on the same scale as what we have in the UK if you compare increase in population/country size. Plus you have a visa scheme for immigration when we have to allow uncontrolled immigration from any country within the EU.
