Should the UK remain a part of the EU or leave?

  • Stay in

    Votes: 56 47.9%
  • Get out

    Votes: 61 52.1%

  • Total voters
    117
  • Poll closed .
6 months old and only 44% wanted to Leave. Looks like our fate was decided by the ‘don’t knows’, a few more of them randomly crossed the Leave box than the stay box.


Whilst expertly ignoring the fact that only 21% want the result overturned. Bravo!!
 
Labour's resurgence really is getting to the Tories. Jeremy Hunt now claiming that the Tories created the NHS!

Seriously? Just when you think he can't get any more stupider. He's also claimed today that he now wished he'd vote to leave EU despite having voted to remain.
 
If NHS actually stands for Nasty Honorable Sh*theads then Jeremy is in fact correct about the Tories being responsible <ok><laugh><whistle>

I see our lovable Foreign Secretary has his diplomatic Doc Martens on again, saying that the Libyan city of Sirte could be the new Dubai 'once they clear the dead bodies away'.

the uks fate was decided by the people who could be bothered to vote
what was the turnout googlestan
and how many registered under 30s couldnt be arsed
 
other than no one still knowing whats going to happen has anything changed in 6 months
Yes, we have had an election with a dodgy outcome, we have started the negotiation, the government’s position is still all over the place, no deal distinct possibility, inflation is rising, more companies have announced movement of staff to EU and switching production to EU.....

whats the fake news sb
even using these figures 36% of 18 to 24 years of age registered voters couldnt be bothered
and 35% of 25 to 39 year olds were the same
couldnt see how many million people that was but the young could have changed things had they wanted to

was it raining on polling day
or was a new apple product released

We were at a cool party which you didn't know about because you're nearly dead.

The man is an awesome prat and it says much about Terry May’s er... leadership that the old trout considers arseholes like Andrew ‘Boris’ Johnson appropriate for roles evidently as important as Foreign Secretary.

Also shows us the weakness at the heart of this cabinet - she hasn’t got the balls to sack him and he hasn’t got the balls to resign.

Hopefully they will both be history soon. I hope the ordinary Tories have the brains to force Ruth Davidson to be their leader.

No it’s because the youth really couldn’t give a **** and who can blame them. If they can’t travel openly across Europe because of our generation and their apathy then **** it all anyway

Honestly what a bloody mess the Tories are I want all Tory voters tarred and feathered

Watched The robot yesterday on the news when she was asked that she had no money for the nurses yet produced 1 billion out of a hat for the Northern Ireland deal

She just could not compute

How people can even accept this stuff is beyond me. Yet if you turnout on the streets to protest which I have then there is a mood of people going on a ramble with nice sandwiches
If there is any chanting people often disperse from it as it’s a bit challenging
The U.K. lost its balls years ago
But it will come back in a big way I hope Something gotta change

A lot of Tory voters (maybe other parties too but more difficult to say) see politics too much like a football match IMO. If QPR play terribly but scrape a 1-0 win, few of us will moan, but politics shouldn't be that way. If anything the traditional Tory voters should be the most appalled at this current lot but it seems too many are pretending they played well after beating a Sunday league side thanks to a questionable refereeing decision.

May out, Holloway in.

So we are to blame the young for how the old voted? Well, I suppose that fits in with the new British tradition of always blaming someone else.

The one good thing to come out of the referendum was the politicisation of the young. Now we just need to find someone better than Corbyn for them to follow.
 
Tories are a bit weak at present but even in this state they are 100 times more capable than Labour and comedy Corbyn.
They need a strong leader. May is the walking dead.

Tories are dying (literally). I don't think there is anyone around currently who can evolve the party to something capable of a majority. The best thing that could happen to them long term is for Labour to get a chance and hope they balls it up.
