Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Sputnik1]

It's amazing how the nation seems hell bent on caring about our sovereignty and yet turned out in lesser numbers for our own General Election!

 

A kick up the arse is understandable, but it feels like we're kicking our own arses!

 

 

It's not amazing at all, people don't think they can make a difference in a general election especially if it's a safe seat and their vote is for an opposition candidate. In this referendum their individual vote does count, so they made the effort. 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I'm going to Dublin in two weeks if we leave the EU and they move Britain what will happen will I pay extra for the flights ??

[moof]

Leave smashing it in Wales. Madness.

[jimmycase]

Hartlepool 70% to Leave. Massive.

[njackets]

Who's this fit bird everyone keeps going on about on ITV? Surely not the fat blonde I keep seeing every time I switch over?

[Kevin D]

Takes a special kind of shitness to be losing to Farange and Boris.

[jimmycase]

Basildon 69% to Leave.

[magicrat]

S*n reading cunts in Basildon true to form

[njackets]

I'm trying not to build my hopes up, but this is looking very good so far! Tin foil hat has now gone in the bin.

For who, Ukip?

I don't believe for a moment that that is the motivation.

I think people have been motivated by anti immigration rhetoric and some sense of 'giving the EU a bloody nose'.

 

If they have such little faith in our domestic voting system, why the hell are they voting for more of it?

[Brownie]

My area is 62% out.

Still a long way to go.

This is what I don't get.  I'm no expert in the slightest but it's like, "We hate you - here's more power". Or am I missing something?

Well I'm not going to discus the motivation for what they voted for, but I do believe the thought that their vote counted spurred them on to vote. 

[Brownie]

No it isn't.

Are you sure?

[FanchesterCity]

I'll agree to that - definitely

Oh, just fuck off, you smarmy, snide, narcissistic, mincing map gimp.

Too bad you threw that away, tin could be quite useful in the barter economy that will emerge from the wasteland

[magicrat]

Unless London goes heavily Remain this is a done deal and the lower turnout due to the weather bodes very badly,  

[Jairzinho]

Are you sure?

 

Yes.

[Brownie]

The theme so far seems to be that working class people are using this referendum as a protest vote against the government, rather than the election last year. Which is bizarre.

[njackets]

For who, Ukip?

Leave.

[jimmycase]

Well I'm not going to discus the motivation for what they voted for, but I do believe the thought that their vote counted spurred them on to vote. 

 

or people just want to fuck the EU off.

[Brownie]

Yes.

Are you seeing these results?
