Alsace from France, Quebec in Canada... I could go on, this city or province leaving the country's government is becoming increasingly popular I think. Just imagine Great Britains economy though if London left them. Such a foolish and ignorant choice to vote leave sorry not sorry

Nope, they're voting for my future too, and my sisters, and my friends, and her friends, and my cousins, and their friends... Who happen to agree with the older generation and voted out.

No but I am sure you can find it if you disbelieve me,on whatever news channel it was on, it was when Farage said that he thought the remain side had just edged it, then it was said that possibly the extension period for voting registration could have helped with that.

I watched news on Sky,BBC and ITV it was on one of them, find it if you will but anyway I do not tell lies to make a point.

The tune changed dramatically when it was then predicted later that 'leave' was likely to end up ahead.

His wife was British so it's alright. And this woman from buzz feed who wishes she could now vote remain because her and family didn't realise that things such as Cameron leaving and what's already happening would actually be happening.

Well it's the same kind of nationalist populism sentiment that is facilitating Trump's success in the USA as well. As they say, history repeats itself...

Don't think I've seen a single leave voter whose said "I'm doing this for my family, it'll benefit them" 99% of them are "immigrants, immigrants, immigrants"

My point doesn't matter. I'm low income and uneducated. I couldn't compete with your corporate brain. :hee:

Raph 24-06-2016 05:34 PM

Yeah to me age isn't the issue and every voice should be representative but the issue with democracy is that it can actually encourage ignorance. Like in this instance, leaving the EU was just used as a portrait by which the government fooled a lot of uneducated people into thinking the EU caused the issues in the UK when really it was the huge multinational companies that have created such a divided economy.

Not to mention the fact that MOST people are going to be butt****ed by this, whether they realise it yet or not. Those who do realise it are perfectly justified in feeling angry or despairing over it. The "sour grapes", "sore losers" rhetoric is so badly misplaced that it's not even funny. This isn't a vote for the X Factor winner. This is something that will personally impact on every single person's life in a very real way.

"Sour grapes lol lol we won we won" type statements just make me even more horrified at the state of democracy. What a joke.

Raph 24-06-2016 05:35 PM

In each individual person's life and choices, of course theirs and their loved ones situations are the ones that mattered. That wasn't the point.

The point was Mock using his and only his situation to suggest a whole group of people in our society shouldn't be permitted to vote based on THEIR situation/opinion.

I doubt it will stop immigration anyway, so if people are expecting to magically stop immigrants from coming over here, I think they'll be disappointed.

I explained on the other EU referedum thread why I support leaving the EU.

Raph 24-06-2016 05:37 PM

And people forget that a large proportion of immigrants played a big role in actually improving Britains economy over the year!

If it doesn't work and this all goes tits up, at least we tried, and i'm proud that the majority of the country voted to try, despite it being such a risk.

Good. For me, and many people I know it was nothing to do with stopping immigration.

Exactly, I was just explaining that on the other thread (:laugh: i'm literally saying the same things back and forth on two different threads)

joeysteele 24-06-2016 05:44 PM

I have only one thing to say as to those of over 65 who it appears have voted more to 'leave' than 'remain', not all of them thankfully.

When 41 years ago, they were voting for their futures, they voted yes to getting closer to Europe in the EEC, with the knowledge, that was said at the time of going in then, this was just the start of the UKs journey in Europe.

Now it is not their futures they were particularly voting on, sadly more of them than not, it appears now voted to 'leave',so to blazes with everyone else.

I can absolutely guarantee that it was ALL about stopping immigration for significantly more than the 4% swing vote... So, the fact that it wasn't about that for every leave voter is largely irrelevant. Fear of brown faces swung the leave victory, for 100% certain, as those campaigning for it knew it would (hence hamming up the stats for months).

Woman from Sunderland smugly declares she voted leave. But why ''to get out country back''

Sunderland is 95% white

The EU is doing sweet FA for this country. It's time we took a risk and a chance on our own. It very well could go very wrong (IMO both decisions had major consequences) but it's the lesser of two evils IMO. Better than rolling over and agreeing to the terms of a bunch of nameless twats from Brussels.

Well, I'm not pretending to know a large majority of people. I was being told why I voted and simply refuted it. :)
