I'm just hoping that people remember what the Tories tried to do to Tax Credits and ESA when it comes to the next election.

We just need to get a decent(or better) government in this country who will make the most of this opportunity we now have.

That really fills me with confidence.

I'm aware we'll still be a part of the EU for the considerable future, but the issues don't change. The negotiations for our exit will not just be led by a party whose priorities I already fear don't align with mine, but by a leader of a party who will inevitably be even worse than the one that's just resigned. None of the issues I care and am worried about are likely to be on the table, it will be the same old **** that was recited ad nauseam throughout the campaign on both sides - trade, the economy and immigration. I don't give a **** about any of these things, I want reassurances about the public services and rights that are current protected and likely going to be at the bottom of the pile come the negotiations.

The timing of when we leave doesn't make these issues go away, perhaps if we had a different government I may have a different perspective on the whole thing but as it is we don't, and I am terrified at the prospect of what the next two, five, ten years will bring for this country. But no, you go back to your cheering about how 'we're free' and we've 'taken back control' or whatever meaningless phrases that apparently makes this result so great. Meanwhile the rest of us who've considered and care about the consequences this'll have on many people's lives will continue to be concerned about the direction the UK is about to take

I disagree.

Correct, because I am, as I keep saying, as yet to see any reassurance from the Leave camp as to why this is a good decision, and how any of the fears that I have won't come to light. No one is addressing my or anyone else's concerns, just gloating about the result and how it's 'independence day', which as far as I'm concerned says it all.

If you had contextualised the comment you highlighted you'd know that, since I was responding to LeatherTrumpet who replied to a post concerned about the endless gloating with...you guessed it, more gloating. Fail to address the concerns of those who didn't want this result, and you will have people questioning whether those who voted for it truly thought it through. Reassure people and you may receive a different response. It's quite simple really.

be it because of policy or simply because they didn't like Camerons choice of suit or Boris Johnsons haircut. That is their choice to make.

I've seen people wishing the older generation death and suffering and I think its absolutely disgusting. These people fought to give us the right to vote, and there are some people out there all happy because "oh they'll be dead soon anyway!!"

Absolutely disgusting.

What makes me smile is people's willingness to accepts stats and figures so long as it fits in with their own agenda. They've come to the conclusion that so many more young people voted remain... but they used the feedback from only 12000 voters when well over 30 million people voted.

The stat I would like to see is, how many young people eligible to vote, didn't bother... against how many older people eligible to vote, didn't bother.

And another thing... when does young become old? What's the cut-off point and who gets to decide it? Because there's a whole range of people between 21 and 70.
