Voting to remain

[Louisa]

Blah and rendelharris you have been great sparring partners in this debate (as has LM), and as the countdown to voting begins I would just like to thank you all for using your democratic right to debate and disagree with me, in a courteous and informative manner. I don't agree, but I've listened and taken note and respect you all deeply for your passion on this topic. As the thunder clouds gather over ED, two tribes are about to go to war, and once the dust settles at some point on Friday morning, let's hope thy regardless of the outcome, we can all agree to move on with whatever hand the British electorate have dealt us all.

Louisa.

[Blah Blah]

Seconded Louisa.

You sound almost presidential in that post btw :D

[LondonMix]

Agreed with all of that

[THX1138]

Please fill in the message body.

[moondancer]

what's your point ?

[LondonMix]

Indeed, why have you posted this here? The BofE has nothing to do with the EU vote at all.

[Louisa]

Good to see long queues this morning outside various polling stations. Let's hope for the biggest turnout ever!

Louisa.

Take your pen with you.

[binkylilyput]

Yes but where can I vote?! Do I have to Go Lewisham town hall or SE1?!

I do sometimes wish there was a like button function on this forum...

So long everyone, I'm off to bribe some low level officials for a comfy spot on the cattle truck.

[Earl Aelfheah]

What a ridiculous act of self harm.

[JohnL]

Lots of people saying it now

LONDON to LEAVE UK

BANK station was closed last night - I couldn't vote - multiple complaints to electoral commission

[Elphinstone's Army]

A low turn out apparently. And look at the weather today. I think we should try again next week.

[civilservant]

what news to wake up to. Gutted.

I am pleased to see that the voice of the British public, of which 72% voted, has been listened to but I am saddened that the man who took us to the brink of s nee future has decided to step down when he should be steering the ship through the choppy waters whilst we negotiate a post EU Britain as the PM was the one who gave us the referendum so surely he should stand up and guide us through the exit process by remaining PM ?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Cameron - surely the most incompetent PM in modern times. If only he'd resigned after the last election.

Rabid Pro-Remainers should understand from this that when you spend months telling marginalised and disaffected people that they?re stupid, racist and ignorant - those people are more likely to go out and stick their vote right up your enlightened cosmopolitan arsehole.

Anyway, there it is, that's democracy.

We are living in interesting times.

[Louisa]

We made the right decision. I am happy, but not jubilant. I gave ample warning over many years on this forum, that out of touch London elites were refusing to acknowledge or understand various gripes in the poorest regions of England, mostly working class Labour cities and post-industrial communities which had been left behind and not listened to. They have now spoken, despite all the dire warnings sent to us from almost every expert doomsayer. There will be turmoil for some months, and yes in some ways it is an act of self harm, but we now need some positivity. I am not a fan out of PM, but one thing throughout this campaign he rammed home to us all "we are not quitters", and then the very next morning he resigns as PM. Cheers David.

Louisa.

what *bob* says - ironically the "dog whistle" campaigning approach as the left likes to call it applies as much to shouting 'racist' at anyone who questioned the EU. I think it's the wrong decision and am quite unsettled but it's democracy.

The screaming left - the lack of movement at the EU (on negotiations and reform)- Cameron's poor negotiation; no decenbt positive case made........all culpable.

But seriously my left wing mates, and I have many, get off your high horses

[TheArtfulDogger]

I have a very interesting question concerning trade with the EU now.

As we will be negotiating with different countries in the EU concerning trade deals, who will be doing that negotiation, will it be the politicians who don't really understand business or will it be lead by a business consortium who do?

It could make a major difference to the end results !

Result of EDF Referendum Poll

Remain a member of the European Union 820 81%

Leave the European Union 171 17%

Unsure 26 2%

Kind of highlights just how in touch and representative The EDF is.

Bizarre comment Foxy - it's in touch with the area we live in. 72% to remain, not far off?
