As a leaver myself. I have been banging on to my friends about the result needing to be at least 55-45 either way to have a chance of ending the debate.

In defence of an earlier poster, early indications in Arun area are around 30-32% of lowest age category voted.

Proud to be a little Englander....... some people voted leave for no other reason than they wish to have sovereignty.

The EU is a busted flush which will now fall apart

Watch this space. Their intransigence and reluctance to reform will be their undoing.

I remember the times before we were in the EU and want to return those days.

Yes lets go back to rationing outside toilets no central heating no double glazing monochrome tv British troops being sent to fight in Suez Aden Malaysia etc.

I also wonder how long it will be before there is a comedy sketch based on the Monty Python classic in Life of Brian but reshaped as:

Whatever has the EU ever done for us.

Better employment rights

Whatever has the EU ever done for us apart from better employment rights......

But there was nothing stopping us dealing with these countries before.

We already have 2014 and 2015 but as China is our 2nd largest trade partner we can now do it with out approval of 27 other states...

thanks I have got 31 more years to watch Brighton I may see my last ambition brighton in the European cup which we nearly made it but poor old smith shot hit Baileys legs. Bad shot or good save or should have Robinson finished it or was he knackered.

Strictly speaking, we would have been in the Cup Winners Cup.

Britain voted brand Britain, let's buy British if the EU countries are not going to give us decent trade deals.

So what cars do Britain make and other "stuff" ?

Perhaps another referendum would be the best way to end debate.

I thought this was interesting and supports the OP's argument.

i think a lorry load of salt to be taken with this, its an opinion poll and we know how accurate they've proven to be lately.

Just remember that there are still many of the population around who were conned in to voting this country into the EU in the first place. It was a vote to enter a common market with no mention of sovereignty or law making.being handed over to this beaurocratic dictatorship.
Just remember there are many still alive who lost relatives in the war. Many of those killed were just teenagers . my great aunt lost both her young sons.,Tthese men and boys. British, Irish, Polish, Indian, Canadians and French resistance thought they were fighting to save sovereignty and democracy and it was appaling that what they died for was for nothing as power was just handed over anyway.
So maybe you should be disgusted and ashamed - with yourselves.

I, too, was one that voted for us to enter the Common Market (or EEC, or EU) all those years ago. Then, it was just that, a market place for like minded countries. Had I known that it would spawn into the Frankenstein monster of bureaucratic intransigence that it is now I may have voted against.

It means we have the right to be pushed around and downtrodden.

We got a few factories some top end marques but mainly foreign owned.......so basically nothing....40 years of EU membership has eroded our manufacturing base...it could be argued.

The war finished 70 years ago how long before its ok to move on and not hold a grudge against the Germans and other Axis powers.

When paired with democracy, a whole lot.
