Seems ONE person reckons she voted wrong and will change her mind if she could. OK, go on love, we will let you change it. So that is one more for Remain, ok?

Didn't the ROI have three referendum,s regarding their membership of the EU?

Do you think the EU will be suggesting this for the UK within the next two years?

It is not their option to suggest a UK referendum. Only learn to negotiate properly and we can decide if we like the outcome to run a second referendum, or run for the hills.

Or of course they can just continue as they have always do, and the UK people's will shall be done.

I am with the OP on this; just a gut feeling that once all the emotional nonsense has petered out, there will be string pulling going on behind the curtains to ensure we don't leave. Juncker telling us to go now, right now... just emotional bluster because he's butt hurt and contemptuous.

I can hear lots of foot stamping and cries of 'it's not fair' coming from the remain camp. Some even want a re-run

It's been reported that Farage wanted a re-run if the result was 52% Remain, 48% Leave, so why wouldn't the Remainers want the same?

(I voted remain, BTW, but although I am disappointed by the result, I accept it).

I just can't imagine the EU just saying 'cheerio' to the 5th largest economy and 3rd? largest contributor without pleading with us to stay! Are their egos really that ridiculously big that they can't sit around the table and thrash out a deal for the UK?

Bizarre!

Just a few more hundred thousand to go

I wouldn't put anything past Juncker. He is unprofessional and undiplomatic at best. And he risks all other contributors doing the same if he starts to court us don't forget.

He really has got himself between a rock and a hard place and frankly seems to have run out of talent a while back IMHO.

Farage is unique. For example when most people say they'll resign, they resign. Not our Nige

Ditto. (Actually I was very undecided, it was my kids who persuaded me). For better or worse the Leavers have got what they wanted. It would be an insult to democracy if this was fudged. We've made our bed, time to take a 'Kip....

I guess we'll find out soon enough. The EU have had long enough to show humility but I'm still waiting.

Why would the EU be that bothered about us leaving? The French didn't want us in the first place , the Germans are probably fed up with our tantrums, hellfire, even Scotland wants to get rid of us....

So a clearly IQ challenged bint who voted leave, miraculously gains intelligence in hours and regrets her uneducated decision and would change her vote.

No doubt all her mates on Facebook have called her thick, Sun/Mail reader,racist and a xenophobe and then 'unfriended' her, leaving her bereft and in dire need of therapy.

Out of interest, what areas made you lean to Brexit ?

If we remain, as the young get older they will get buyers remorse. As those who voted in 1975 did.

Indeed and we've had 40 years of regretting it. If the young of today grow older and wiser and still want to rejoin then good luck to them. At least they'll have some idea of what they are getting into, we were just sold a tin whose contents weren't what was on the label.

Farage has already backtracked on NHS investment.

We were not electing him. And I'd rather we didn't spend the entirety of our EU contributions on the NHS.

But there will almost certainly have been a lot of people voting to leave thinking this was going to happen as this was presented as one of his pledges during their advertising campaign.

You just can't trust these politicians nowadays, telling untruths to get your vote.

He hasn't back tracked at all. He didn't promise it, - he's not in power, so how could he? He simply made the point that the £350M a week we give to the EU, *could* be available to spend elsewhere, - like the NHS, for example. Where we spend it is a Government decision. Leaving the EU is the first step, the next will be to elect a better Government now that we live in a democracy.

The interviewer asked him a ridiculous question, I don't believe she's that ignorant, she was simply relying on the ignorance of viewers.

Cameron is gone, hopefully antisemite Corbyn will be next, - what we really need is PR at the next GE.

Leaving the EU is only the first step. Remoaners seem very short sighted.

True. Equally he wasn't exactly forthcoming with the information prior to the end of the campaign. He said that was one of the mistakes that the leave campaign made. Well, he had t suddenly realised that that morning had he!!
Basically Farage did what all our policiticians do and lied. And lied. And lied.

[Leggy]

Boris's original plan was to call their bluff. Pity the EU treaties Cameron so shabbily when he tried to negotiate.
They humiliated him, and so they have to take some responsibility for this outcome.
Watch this space....

But buyers remorse at the expense of the young :/

problem for that graphic is it was from a you gov poll,already proven to be way out of whack with voter intention. so no one knows with any accuracy what the percentage of votes were from younger people.

The amount of money wasted in simply running the EU. It seems to be a bloated inefficient mildly corrupt layer of bureaucracy which isn't required.

We agree there. I wondered if the EU was modeled on FIFA, or FIFA on the EU.

If only that wasn't so true .. no one has stooped to call me a Sun reader at least!
