At least we had control of our own borders, innit.

I understand a lot of peoples reasons for voting to leave however an alarmingly large amount seem to have no reason besides 'those bloody foreigners'

Haha, there are legitimate reasons to vote out (for me, they dont outweigh the cons of leaving) but reverting back to wartime britain bcause thats when britain was truly better is by far the worse argument ive heard all month.

Wish those closet racists would just decide already whether the foreigners are taking our jobs or taking our jobseeker benefits. It seems to be both.

Worst I saw was last night on FB. Posted by my husbands cousins partner..he wants to leave because he doesn't want to pay taxes...

Honestly

My mothers voting is interesting too. She is voting leave using immigration as the main reason. However, she has a backup plan. She is wealthy enough that if it all goes tits up she can...emigrate. Umm...

Hahaha. If an IQ score of over 90 was mandatory, this referendum wouldnt even be close. I also have college dropouts on my facebook feed using incredible logic to vote out

I have still come across people today, still really voting to leave just to get rid of Cameron.
Couldn't care about the EU, they see this as just a way to get rid of this PM.
Unbelievable.

Didn't Cameron say he wasn't stepping down regardless of the result? I mean he already said he didn't want a full term so hes gone in a couple years regardless. But getting rid of cameron and having him replaced by Boris...or GOVE even...just no

People misguidedly think he will be gone and whoever takes over will have to call another general election.

If it is a vote to leave, Cameron will certainly be gone and near quite quickly, so they will get their wish on that but they will get no general election.

It still wouldn't stop people moaning, "foreign doctors" are quite often Indian so they have been given a visa on the merits of what they bring to the UK, we have a shortage of construction workers yet people are always complaining about Polish builders , yet we need them so a points system isn't going to make much difference to some peoples attitudes

It doesn't work like this does it? I don't really klnow too much about politics and stuff tbh but won't someone just take over and the tories remain in power?

From what I know, Brown was just thrust upon us and not actually elected?

Boris (to me anyway) is more likeable as a person than Cameron. However I would not trust him to run the ****ing country. No chance.

No, David Cameron did say in opposition if a PM changed while in office he'd like to see a new general election held within 6 months.

However when the coalition put in place the 5 year fixed term parliaments act,they omitted to make that a condition, so you are correct, no election will be forthcoming.
Also two thirds majority is needed from MPs to call an election which means 434 MPs have to vote for an election outside of the fixed term parliament act.

Not a chance on that happening at all.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Remain winning now... last week I was sure Leave would win with about 55% but I think it'll be 53% Remain now.

Only just noticed there'll be no exit polls... not sure how to feel about that.

I voted out, by postal weeks ago... But it is the old people I feel sorry for. The Remain camp (especially David Shameron) have constantly put old people down, treated them like 2nd class citizens, like they don't matter, like they're about to pop their clogs any minute so who the ***** cares just let your 8 year old grand daughter make the decision for you. Surely they have a lot of experience to know what decision is right for them, and have lived long enough to know if they want to leave or remain? LEAVE OAP's ALONE!
