I'm with you mate. They sang us auld lang syne in the EU parliament meanwhile we're singing them "17 million fuck offs" I kind of hope they do get that song to number one. Spiteful as it is.

What pisses me off is the word 'Democracy'

The Lid Dems choose to ignore it yet use it in their campaign, Labour said in 2017 that they wouldn't go against it, yet chose to hedge their bets by doing exactly that! And now the SNP are doing exactly the same with their 'once in a lifetime' vote for independence! It's not right, the people have spoken and it should be respected regardless of your stance!

Not just if you don't get your own way, we'll just keep doing it until we do, it's all fucking bollocks, and I for one am glad that the second indyref2 has been blocked for now!

How the fuck can these politicians stand there with a straight face and call it a democracy??

We will most certainly be raising a glass in celebration tomorrow. The UK being the first off the sinking ship, no doubt others will follow. Nigel Farage did a wonderful job over 25 years and should get the knighthood he deserves. The UK never voted to be part of a federal european state.

My bad - I’ve just read a contradictory report that says the tories are actually committed to retaining Erasmus beyond 2020 - though they voted against making it a priority in the commons.

I hope we retain the scheme - it’s a great idea which has benefitted hundreds of thousands of students.

Because there’s plenty of evidence that Brexit will harm the economy, and it will unarguably remove citizens rights like Freedom of movement.

Incidentally any trade deals negotiated now can’t take effect until the end of transition.

We are as of 23:00 hours officially an EU law taker, not a law maker.

Does that negate the bit that follows it then? You’ll have to explain it.

Because as I’m sure you know, leaving the EU makes the British passport more restrictive, it actually limits the freedom that brexiters like to harp on about it.

Yes ,we could chose the colour of our passport while a member of the EU , we chose red , then the brexitiers decided having blue passport would be important ,what followed was the company producing the red passports in the north east of England lost the contract with the conservative government awarding the contact for the new blue passports to a firm in France ,,,,,,,on a lighter note , ironically, the winner of the 5'0'clock race at Dundalk today was a horse called ,,,, MAY REMAIN

Well if the EU (formally the EEC) had just remained someone we had free trade with I doubt we would have voted to leave.

"

Once again, this is what we signed up for when we joined the EEC agreeing to the Treaty of Rome. Articles 2 and 3 below. What's your argument?

ARTICLE 2

The Community shall have as its task, by establishing a common market and

progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States, to promote

throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a

continuous and balanced expansion, an increase in stability, an accelerated raising of the

standard of living and closer relations between the States belonging to it.

ARTICLE 3

For the purposes set out in Article 2, the activities of the Community shall include, as

provided in this Treaty and in accordance with the timetable set out therein

(a) the elimination, as between Member States, of customs duties and of quantitative

restrictions on the import and export of goods, and of all other measures having

equivalent effect;

(b) the establishment of a common customs tariff and of a common commercial

policy towards third countries;

(c) the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to freedom of movement for

persons, services and capital;

(d) the adoption of a common policy in the sphere of agriculture;

(e) the adoption of a common policy in the sphere of transport;

(f) the institution of a system ensuring that competition in the common market is not

distorted;

(g) the application of procedures by which the economic policies of Member States

can he co-ordinated and disequilibria in their balances of payments remedied;

(h) the approximation of the laws of Member States to the extent required for the

proper functioning of the common market;

(i) the creation of a European Social Fund in order to improve employment

opportunities for workers and to contribute to the raising of their standard of

living;

(j) the establishment of a European Investment Bank to facilitate the economic

expansion of the Community by opening up fresh resources;

(k) the association of the overseas countries and territories in order to increase trade

and to promote jointly economic and social development.

That is the thickest comment on here by far and that is some achievement.Old people like us have children and we also have several grandchildren. Do you think we voted to Leave so we would be personally better off ? How thick is that as we will be dead in a few years.

We voted because we believe (rightly or wrongly,time will tell) that it is better for our country and therefore for our children and our grandchildren to be a sovereign and independent country in control of of our own destiny.

That is the thickest comment on here by far and that is some achievement.Old people like us have children and we also have several grandchildren. Do you think we voted to Leave so we would be personally better off ? How thick is that as we will be dead in a few years.

We voted because we believe (rightly or wrongly,time will tell) that it is better for our country and therefore for our children and our grandchildren to be a sovereign and independent country in control of of our own destiny."

Please don’t die ... I love you xx

Whatever your logic may be, and I do not doubt that you are sincere in your beliefs, significantly more older people wanted Brexit than younger people.

65+ 64% Leave

60-64 60% Leave

25-49 46% Leave

18-24 29% Leave

However, older people will not see as much of the effect of Brexit as younger ones as they simply will not be here. That is not controversial surely?

How you define "control" relative to the demands of the USA, China and the EU is very much up for debate.

Look up Huawei for details

I was out and saw nobody celebrating. Quite quiet for a Friday night in London.

A few Europeans feeling pretty sad and rejected though, so that's something to celebrate, right?

No one in London celebrated or cared. In other news the mayor of Berlin said the new Tesla factory was like winnng the lottery ! The factory could have been built in the UK - but wasnt because of Brexit.

We will never be sovereign - we just let the Chinese govt own our telco infrastructure Its just question of who you get in bet with

I am looking forward to the trade deal with India - to do a trade deal with India - we will have to give them about 100 to 300k visas. I wonder how Nasty little Farage will like that.

This age demography thing is such a silly argument. If that's the case, any election should be held only for the millennials because what a political party does in a five year period will have a long term effect. And why not let the kids in the school also to vote? They are also the ones who will be affected long term.

Every age demography is important. People who are over 65 had children and grandchildren and they have seen more in their lives than the one in twenties. So they will have more knowledge about certain things. The votes of people in twenties also matter because they think about modern ideologies and future. Both votes are important for to take any decision. It's appalling that liberals have to stoop so low to deny voting rights for the old people to get what they want. And then they are the defenders of democracy apparently.

The point is that the old are imposing an opinion on the young which they will not have to live with for very long but the young will.

But we're going to get a new 50p! So the huge loss to the economy, social rights, environmental protection, food safety standards, workers rights etc. Will be worth it.

"Freedom

What will you be free to do tomorrow that you can’t today?

The UK with now be able to make its own trade deals.

And if you’re trying to negotiate a trade deal, is it better to do so with a potential customer base of half a billion people, or 60million?

It's better to negotiate a trade deal which suits the people in the UK.

Like one with really good tariff free trade with the world’s largest trade bloc?

Well if the EU (formally the EEC) had just remained someone we had free trade with I doubt we would have voted to leave.

Once again, this is what we signed up for when we joined the EEC agreeing to the Treaty of Rome. Articles 2 and 3 below. What's your argument?

ARTICLE 2

The Community shall have as its task, by establishing a common market and

progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States, to promote

throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a

continuous and balanced expansion, an increase in stability, an accelerated raising of the

standard of living and closer relations between the States belonging to it.

ARTICLE 3

For the purposes set out in Article 2, the activities of the Community shall include, as

provided in this Treaty and in accordance with the timetable set out therein

(a) the elimination, as between Member States, of customs duties and of quantitative

restrictions on the import and export of goods, and of all other measures having

equivalent effect;

(b) the establishment of a common customs tariff and of a common commercial

policy towards third countries;

(c) the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to freedom of movement for

persons, services and capital;

(d) the adoption of a common policy in the sphere of agriculture;

(e) the adoption of a common policy in the sphere of transport;

(f) the institution of a system ensuring that competition in the common market is not

distorted;

(g) the application of procedures by which the economic policies of Member States

can he co-ordinated and disequilibria in their balances of payments remedied;

(h) the approximation of the laws of Member States to the extent required for the

proper functioning of the common market;

(i) the creation of a European Social Fund in order to improve employment

opportunities for workers and to contribute to the raising of their standard of

living;

(j) the establishment of a European Investment Bank to facilitate the economic

expansion of the Community by opening up fresh resources;

(k) the association of the overseas countries and territories in order to increase trade

and to promote jointly economic and social development."

Sounds like the people who voted to join didn't know what they were voting for

My point still stands. The old have lot more wisdom and experience in the world than the young. They have the right to contribute in these matters. Still someone who is 65 years old could live for 15 years more which is a reasonable lifetime in the country and they have the right to choose. Even if you are 25 years old, there is no guarantee that you are going to live in the country forever. Should we also deny voting rights for people living abroad because they are not living in this country to face the effects of their decision?

Maybe the remainers should look at the mirror and figure out what they really did wrong. Instead, all I see is everyone trying to find laughable excuses. "Age demography", "people are racists", "people are stupid", "right wing media", "second referendum". With this kind of attitude, I am pretty sure that the conservatives are going to have an easy win for decades.

Easy win?

Against a labour party massively disjointed with an unelectable leader - yep.

But don't forget that now Boris has 'got brexit done' (even if not in reality til the end of 2020 and way beyond) that the buck now stops firmly with the Tories. There'll be no means to blame remainers or Labour if things don't turn out as leavers wanted. There'll be no accountability for any job losses, economic damage or unkept leave promises bar with the government. If all goes to shit then a lot of people will be very unhappy and looking to blame someone.

And that won't be the EU, the Labour party or anyone that voted remain. With the majority he has and carte blanche to do as he pleases it'll all land firmly on Johnson's doorstep.

And rightly so.

So lets see what happens over the next 12 months.

The majority of older people voted for Brexit, the majority of younger people voted to remain, these are facts . Of course the older generation has a right to vote and I am sure they can justify their reasons for voting to leave . Personally I hope Brexit is a success even though I voted to remain, either way the comedy value from the likes of Farage and their ‘celebration ‘ last night is priceless , some of the interviews with the people there are comedy gold

Still someone who is 65 years old could live for 15 years more which is a reasonable lifetime in the country and they have the right to choose. Even if you are 25 years old, there is no guarantee that you are going to live in the country forever. Should we also deny voting rights for people living abroad because they are not living in this country to face the effects of their decision?

Maybe the remainers should look at the mirror and figure out what they really did wrong. Instead, all I see is everyone trying to find laughable excuses. "Age demography", "people are racists", "people are stupid", "right wing media", "second referendum". With this kind of attitude, I am pretty sure that the conservatives are going to have an easy win for decades.

The majority of older people voted for Brexit, the majority of younger people voted to remain, these are facts . Of course the older generation has a right to vote and I am sure they can justify their reasons for voting to leave . Personally I hope Brexit is a success even though I voted to remain, either way the comedy value from the likes of Farage and their ‘celebration ‘ last night is priceless , some of the interviews with the people there are comedy gold "

Should the older generation be able to vote lets say the over 67 cos the future is with the younger ones. I would even say lower the voting age.

"You will find that the older generation that voted brexit wont be as much affected then the younger ones.

That is the thickest comment on here by far and that is some achievement.Old people like us have children and we also have several grandchildren. Do you think we voted to Leave so we would be personally better off ? How thick is that as we will be dead in a few years.

We voted because we believe (rightly or wrongly,time will tell) that it is better for our country and therefore for our children and our grandchildren to be a sovereign and independent country in control of of our own destiny.

Whatever your logic may be, and I do not doubt that you are sincere in your beliefs, significantly more older people wanted Brexit than younger people.

65+ 64% Leave

60-64 60% Leave

25-49 46% Leave

18-24 29% Leave

However, older people will not see as much of the effect of Brexit as younger ones as they simply will not be here. That is not controversial surely?

How you define "control" relative to the demands of the USA, China and the EU is very much up for debate.

Look up Huawei for details

This age demography thing is such a silly argument. If that's the case, any election should be held only for the millennials because what a political party does in a five year period will have a long term effect. And why not let the kids in the school also to vote? They are also the ones who will be affected long term.

Every age demography is important. People who are over 65 had children and grandchildren and they have seen more in their lives than the one in twenties. So they will have more knowledge about certain things. The votes of people in twenties also matter because they think about modern ideologies and future. Both votes are important for to take any decision. It's appalling that liberals have to stoop so low to deny voting rights for the old people to get what they want. And then they are the defenders of democracy apparently.

Nobody said that any the votes shouldn't count.

Nobody is denying anybody voting rights.

You are making a non-argument.

The point is that the old are imposing an opinion on the young which they will not have to live with for very long but the young will.

I would lower the voting age to 16 but you can’t stop older people from voting unless they are incapable.

Children voting? No. If they change the law so that 16 is the new 18 then sure, let them vote.

Why o why do those who wanted to leave or remain have to keep belittling the those who voted the other way?

We all know that the polls show a pretty even split of opinion. There's no right or wrong and it's daft to say the British people decided emphatically either way.

A poll on one day decided 'in or out' on a simple majority. It's how the poll was designed ... and that's how democracy works. So we're now out.

At a later date we may decide to seek a return to the EU. But that's not now. Now we have to negotiate trade deals as best we can with at least three major trading blocks/countries that dwarf our economy. We'll just have to see how that works out.

In the meantime, let's respect different views and move on from the playground politics of the last few years.

That's a good way to look at it. I personally think Brexit could be bad for UK and if given a chance, I would have voted remain. But the truth is no one has enough data or skill to predict the future. People on either side of the line can only make guesses. No one knows for sure. Right now, all we can hope for is that it turns out good for the UK.

Whenever a party loses the elections, both the party and supporters take the blame, gather some feedback on how they can do better and act on it. The conservative parties all around the world, even with their questionable ideologies have done this for many years and have started winning elections. For left wing parties to win elections, they need to learn from it.

But what do I see?

Blame game within leaders.

Calling people stupid and racist because they voted for the other party.

Keeping themselves at a high pedestal of morality and intelligence while acting condescendingly to others.

They should stop doing all this nonsense and start listening to problems of people who voted against them.

It's funny when I see lines like "if you are a brexiter or a tory or trump supporter, don't talk to me" in social media. This is the kind of behaviour you expect from conservative people historically. But the opposite is happening these days. If this is going to continue, I don't see the political tide changing soon.

Did wrong? How is having a different opinion to you doing something wrong? Yeah slightly more people agreed with you than disagreed but that doesn't make those who disagreed wrong. They just want something different to you.

you've made a very important point. In out referendum with simple majority. The month before or the month after it may have swung the other way. Whilst the referendum may have been a democratic process, it really isn't suitable for something so complex with potentially a devastating impact for our economy.

Farage made a point before the referendum when he said that in a 52:48 remain victory there would be unfinished business. He was right. 48% of people voting Leave would have been a significant number. Over time that figure may have shifted either way. Revisiting the referendum 5 years later may have been wise idea especially if the polls were indicating a shift in opinion. What's happening now is that the decision on June 2016 is final and the 48% are told to shut up and, going by last night celebrations, some Brexiters feel we should be jailed!

Meh. People want what they want. It's pretty clear from the result and that of the many elections we have had in recent years that at present our country has moved further to the right and become more nationlist. There's still a lot of us on the left/internationalist side, especially in my age group but for now we're in the minority and I don't think there's a great deal we can do about that until something causes a dramatic shift in political tides. No idea what could cause that personally.
