If you genuinely wish to change your pension investment strategy you will have to transfer your pension from Abbey Life into a SIPP so that have an open investment architecture and can choose your own investment products.

Well that's that then.

Yes.

But be clear. The question on the ballot was simply remain or leave the EU.

There is nothing there about free movement or immigration.


Everything beyond the act of leaving is detail, and a negotiating point.

And there in a nutshell is the folly of such a referendum. Nobody really knows what the alternative will actually be. Immigration was laid at the door of the EU. I think we'd have been better off dealing with how to distribute immigrants rather than let the poor put up with the fall out. Our laws taking precedent over EU laws? Let's see how hard Boris campaigns for social justice, a fairer voting system, and against an unelected upper chamber. It's only reasonable if you really do believe this was all about taking law making back from Brussels.



In ten years time, when we are paying as much to have access to the single market but unable to influence it in any way, and the UK is split, Cameron will go down as the worst PM England has ever had for his simpering gutless decision to go to the people over this, just because UKIP were eating into HIS party's votes.

Why don't people look for the positives. If i wasn't old, past it and retired I would be setting up a company to outsource Government administration. It'll be the biggest growing industry in Britain over the next 3 years

A percentage of people may not have had the opportunity to get to the polling station due to illness or work commitments being on holiday....I think the turnout would not be higher were there to magically be a 2nd referendum.

Anyone who couldn't get to a polling station could easily get a postal vote. I did.

If the EU suddenly pops up and delivers a range of the reforms that Britain was looking for originally, that would be a justification for the UK to halt it's declaration.....or pause at least... it would present tricky legal arguments.

I don't think it would be that tricky, we could just have another referendum - but I don't see the EU reforming in the short term. They're like FIFA, they need complete change.

The decision has been made, there's a huge amount of hard work ahead, time to knuckle down and get on with it.

I didn't vote leave but that's irrelevant, in a democracy you should respect the decision. Calling for a second vote is just being a bad loser, it's a bit like trying to unshag someone when you had beer goggles on the previous night.

I agree with the sentiment, but do you honestly think the leave campaign would have left it alone if the reverse result had come in? Farage had already stated that a 52% vote for remain would not have been good enough and. A second referendum would have been pursued.
Are the SNP going to leave their democratic referendum result in place?

It would appear that the Remain campaign are the only side who are expected to abide by the democratic process.

I would add that I trust those in the 'leave' camp will also respect all strike decisions made by a majority of trade union members when calling for strike action, such as the 98% of BMA members who voted for industrial action earlier this year.

We are lucky to be in a democracy, and that means that you accept the decisions of those who vote, regardless of how you voted yourself.

The trouble is just over a third of the electorate voted to leave.

Is that enough to justify the chaos that could ensue? Especially as the vast majority of those haven't got a clue about the economic repercussions of leaving and the rest can't be certain.

Well Cameron and corbyn have both said they support the result and will not request another referendum for sore losers. You can keep posting it but please just bore off. The decision has been made and leave won by 1.3M votes

Yes it is. If a majority of 18-24 year olds decided to not vote, and therefore reduce their opportunities for future economic success and choice, then they've made a conscious decision to do so.

Whilst I despair at the decision, it should still be respected.

Yeah right ... many of the remainers who deride the leave voters as uneducated, xenophobic, morons. Superiority complex is 99% on your side sunshine.

This is fair comment, although I wan't to remain it is out of order to tell the leavers they are all stupid, racist or both. The E.U. has so many issues that it is not difficult to see why people could vote out. I have been guilty of a bit of this over the last couple of days.
However, who here is surprised to learn that Pretty Pink Fairy voted out?
