Have you looked at the voter statistics? I don't like the implication that just because you're in such and such a group means we shouldn't listen, but the results do clearly show that the poorer, less educated or older you are the more likely you were to have voted out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24...ed-old-an/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36616028 http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-t...d-and-why/ Then you have the Leave campaigners rubbishing their own campaign and effectively saying that anyone that listened to them were mistaken. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24...a-mistake/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36629300 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36628894 I really feel that the decision has been made on the basis of campaigning that the people involved knew was wrong. Now I've been saying that for a while but everyone just seems to keep reiterating the the arguments that have been dismissed by the people that made the claims in the first place. Both sides made dubious claims, and unfortunately you're always going to expect over inflated figures. However I think the leave claims were over inflated to comical levels. |

from my perspective people vote in or out based on their personal position and opinion, as we live in a democracy everyone's opinion is valid and of equal value . the country voted and voted out so we should just get on with is a quickly as possible, there is nothing to say another vote would come up with a different outcome so why waste any time. I think it is sad that some people think their opinion is more valid than others, or that someones age suggests their vote should be less valid, as some people interviewed on the telly have suggested.

The unelected bureaucrats and commissioners plus the Remain campaign clearly and woefully underestimated the depth of feeling in the country on the issues of immigration and Sovereignty. Nobody I know (and I bet that goes for 90% of the electorate) had the foggiest idea about the economic arguments and risks.
The free movement of people and the seemingly endless meddling of British values and laws by the grey suits over the water had to be stopped. "as we live in a democracy everyone's opinion is valid and of equal value" ....not sure I agree with that.... Paedos and serial rapists opinions are the same as mine and carry equal weight??? Dont think so, but the friggin European Court of Human Rights said they can still vote??? WTF!!!!

I'm certainly glad as an uneducated leave voter that I was only required to draw an X in a box with a big black crayon. I probably wouldn't have been able to cope with anything more complicated than that.........cheeky ba**ards.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left! |

I'm also glad as a remainer that I could get my lazy pot riddled hippy ar5e out of bed and go and vote. And Custom Steve - you can't call a Spade a Spade any more, not even if we are out of the EU. |
