With it being so close i think it would be dangerously complacent for either side to just move on and treat it like a thrashing (anti-establishment sentiment and forgotten communities will still be looking for an outlet).

Whatever happens the fallout will be ugly. That letter doesn't mean a great deal in the grand scheme of things imo.

Agree, peoples issues aren't just going to disappear

(or us remainers, who largely vote Labour, will be wondering what the feck our leader was doing).

Do you think that UKIP would gain support despite a Remain result, in a similar way to the SNP after the Scottish referendum didn't go their way?

The Obi-Wan Kenobi comparisons seem more apt now considering Corbyn's done his own Tatooine style exile during the referendum.

Think we all know that's what will happen though. All this talk of possible further reform and influence will dissipate.

Cameron won't concede on issues I don't believe. It'll be refocused on delivering what he's already 'achieved'
 
Man, Wales is going to get fecked up the arse if we Leave if this Beeb reporter's facts are on point.

I feel like it largely depends on what happens with the Tories. A Boris leadership may keep the Eurosceptic contingent content within the Tories, and stop them from jumping ship. An Osborne PM stint may further alienate them, and cause more jumps to UKIP.
 
There's a weird programme on Siamese twins on Sky 154 if you want a distraction.

Yes, almost definitely. Especially as the Tories look to be hiding behind Cameron.

There are plenty of non-Labour remainers. Thought you were a Brighton green?

He's been at plenty of events throughout the entire campaign. The Labour story has never been headline news but I don't think that's the leaderships fault.
 
The same could be said about the low-waged middle class having been duped by the globalist propaganda that says immigration is 'good for the economy'. It might be good for GDP figures and stock prices, but the evidence is clear to anyone who understands labour economics that wages for the low paid have been kept low as a result of immigration.

Is there a trend of largely homogenous countries having higher average wages or something?

They might well have hit a ceiling with Farage as leader; he was on thin ice after the GE. If they want to advance further, i would advise them to replace Farage with Suzanne Evans.

Hasn't been headline news for the past nine months, which is entirely the leadership's fault.

Yeah, suppose. Think this was always problematic for Labour no matter what - there are contingents of the party support who quite clearly want to Leave (in the North), and they'll probably feel they don't really have any voice within the party throughout this. That's not exclusive to Corbyn, obviously, and would apply with just about anyone within the party.

There are but Labour remain is crucial to this vote. I am but I still have emotional ties to Labour (especially since we elected a lefty leader). I am really distraught by his efforts.

Farage has largely been the reason for his rise, but as you say they've probably hit their ceiling and he could quite possibly be, at least in part, a reason for their demise. He's quite clearly very power hungry and seems to resent the idea of anyone within the party eclipsing him, considering past disputes with the likes of Carswell and Evans.

He can't control the media's chosen priorities during the campaign and for obvious reasons that's been the Prime Minister. I've had no issue following his interviews and events, if people haven't found them I'd argue they probably don't care enough to now be complaining about his lack of visibility.

Hmm, yeah. I think UKIP would be quite happy with Cameron/Osborne continuing on in the hope of further defections.

Did anything ever come of that South Thanet result allegation? Perhaps if he could miraculously sneak in as an MP he'd stay on yet again. :lol:
