#336053 EU Referendum
Grimnir
I honestly don't see us leaving the EU disappointingly, the whole referendum seems to have just been a political coup to remove the major party leaders. Boris won't do it if he gets in, nor Gove.
It's a shame, because if the choice then becomes a UKIP government headed by Farage but we get to leave the EU or someone else but we remain then I'd have to vote remain. I can't see how the other parties can elect someone more vile than Farage and I could never vote for UKIP.
What a farce. We actually have a chance to do the right thing, the country even turns out to vote, but in the end none of it matters because it was all party politics.
Should have been obvious from the start I suppose as Boris was always going to set himself up against Cameron whichever option that meant "supporting". Shame Corbyn couldn't have been allowed to show his true colours and support the leave campaign, then we wouldn't have all been branded racists! Would have taken the bloody limelight of Farage too and allowed for a proper debate.

Really conflicted here, prefer the Croatian team but have Portugal in the work sweepstake and could do with the money!
Also, Portugal win worst kit of the tournament. Even the Turkish away kit is no match for it.

Fair enough, don't know too much about what happened in the Scotland referendum other than the result for the most part. If the whole remain part of the UK was based on the Eu membership then it's fair enough they get another referendum. As I said, I'm all for Scottish Independence.

If Corbyn gets eaten by the sharks as the Labour party attempts to follow suit in ripping itself apart, Trump might inspire Lord Sugar to do similar in this country at the head of Labour! Imagine what a GE would look like with Boris Johnson v Lord Sugar!

Shit like this is just as bad as people saying everyone who voted Leave is a racist.
Scotland had their referendum, they voted to remain in the UK and as such face the same consequences as the rest of us. If anything, it highlights the pointlessness (is that a word?) of referendums - as touched upon earlier in the thread.
Personally, I am all for Scottish Independence and more local governance. They voted to remain though and shouldn't be able to pick and choose which bits they want. You take the good with the bad, however you view either.

A snippet from a BBC article:
The Bank of England may consider raising interest rates to combat extra pressure on inflation. That would make mortgages and loans more expensive to repay but would be good news for savers.
The Treasury previously forecast a rise of between 0.7% and 1.1% in mortgage borrowing costs, with the prime minister claiming the average cost of a mortgage could increase by up to £1,000 a year.
Nothing concrete though.

Tbh, I wouldn't mind that. It is like another country there.
These calls for independence are getting a bit daft now!
#335715 EU Referendum

Well Leave won, so yeah I'm happy with the outcome in that sense. As I said, give people power and they want more - they also hold onto it tighter. Even if Remain won with 50.1% I don't think Brussels would have cared, we had to Leave for a difference to be made. Part of the negotiations will probably mean immigration remains the same anyway in an effort to appease Brussels whilst they try and crucify us to make us an example to all those countries now pondering their own referendum.
However, I think it's the wrong time for Cameron to resign, which I never thought I would say. By doing so he's given a hell of a boost to Boris and Farage and that leads us in the direction that all the 'Little Englanders' and easily stereotyped Leave voters are suggested to want. Corbyn looks likely to be fed to the sharks next, Lib Dems might gain from this as they reclaim all the student voters they lost when they lied about uni fees. Ashamedly, I don't actually know who the Lib Dem leader is anymore since the betrayal of Clegg.

Also, hello VP, didn't realise you were so close to me down here. Work with a few guys who live down Leigh-on-Sea. :waves:
I know I voted Leave, but I have nothing against the free movement and immigration imposed by the EU. That and the trade laws should have been the be and end all of the EU, but give people a bit of power and they want a lot more. It was getting ridiculous and I did not want some super europe country run from Brussels with blanket laws. Not that I think the current system we have in the UK is democracy how it should be either, but one thing at a time.
Also, on a more selfish note, as a first time buyer (or trier for the past 2 years) I'm hoping I can get a house for a better price now. Though I understand mortgage rates will probably rise for the moment, I'm hopeful of a better market.

How's this gonna work if/when I visit Ireland again? Last time started out in Belfast and drove all around Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland back and forth willy-nilly. Now I guess there'll be border checks and all sorts? Can see this leading to more shit over there again...

Seems to close to call, most polls seem to come out with at most a 4% swing either way that I've seen. Will be interesting!
