Nice of Nigel to now tell the public that he did not endorse the £350m extra NHS funding the leave campaign had made a point of, it's not even a day old and a "promise" is already looking to be getting the chop. Oh well, I never do trust politicians to keep to their promises. But now it's in the Leaver's court, they've gotten the vote, now it's their turn to make good on the promises that secured that vote. I won't hold my breath, but as it's the way the vote went I have to hope it doesn't bite us on our backsides.
same, the only part I don't like this was it was more about sticking it to Cameron than it was about the EU. combined with misinformation and overall bullshit. the whole thing has been a farce. either way, ill likely not vote again, my confidence in anything politics is going back to not giving a toss. I'd never bothered to vote before, this was my first vote and i'm 29.

We shouldn't have a second vote.
If you voted and didn't properly research both sides, and what could happen in the event of both outcomes, then you are a fool.
The amount of people i've seen who voted Leave and have stated that "they didn't think all this would happen" is staggering.
Everything that has happenend today has been what the Leave campaign has been telling you about for the past month, and what you dismissed as "scaremongering".
Welcome to reality.
No, the other group would have. It is within the law to do so. Results that leave reasonable doubt as to the desired outcome of the populus as a whole can be revoted. When the vote is within 60/40 and less than 75% of the population is represented, the vote is not considered representative.
The economic fallout of this is going to most probably have a huge (terrifyingly huge)impact on the NHS short and medium term. From medication that is purchased in anything other than GBP to the fact that every EU Dr. who works in the UK is today probably considering (with varying degrees of likelihood)going elsewhere despite the fact their jobs here will be secure.
If you thought austerity was bad, we probably haven't seen anything yet. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about economical regeneration schemes involving manufacturing that were in the pipeline getting scrapped by Monday. Nobody is going to invest a bean from outside until we are some way into the exit and post agreement.
While I accept many people had valid set of reasons for voting leave it is a fact that a fuck tonne of malcontents voted leave just as a "fuck you!" to the UK establishment rather than it having anything to truly do with the EU. Those among that group that just don't like johnny foreigner are probably going to be more displeased when we end up fast tracking the immigration and certification process for the likes of doctors from commonwealth countries to make up shortfalls.
I'm kind of butthurt on a personal level for sure. The economical fallout from this will in the short term, at the very least, hit everyone that has saved for their future hard. While I recognise that we have always had fuckwits that will throw a spanner in any works just because they can and they have nothing to lose(and never will have, let's be absolutely honest here) at any opportunity given them. I am fucking disappointed in myself that I didn't realise just how many of these people we have in our electorate. Seriously disappointed in my country today.
We should never have been put in this position to begin with. Again I'll say it. Something as huge as leaving the EU should never have been put to a single yes/no vote.
If remain had won and people wanted another vote, why should I have been frightened to let it happen? If people are confident and content in leaving, they will win again.
The decision of who gets the fucking world cup wasn't even a one vote event.
Speciation Is Gradual
well no because farrage actually said the pound wouldn't drop and there would be 350m pounds going into the nhs, both bullshit. both reasons why ppl voted. especially the nhs, with them taking that back, it was a good portion of their propaganda.
again, I'm done caring for now, sensibility lost today, now we have to all live with it. if a second vote is triggered, still unlikely even after they debate it. if remain won we'd just end up repeating it over and over again.

True.
The ball is in their court now. I can't wait to live in the utopia that they promised us. The UK will become a strong, thriving, brown free paradise.
You can't answer a question with another question. Heck, it's not even a relevant one.
C'mon, you can do better than this.
