He's the macroeconomics guy isn't he? Opponent of austerity who thinks the Euro needs to be reformed and possibly split into two regions along with more control passing to the ECB.

An economist who was given the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2015 for his work on consumption, poverty and welfare.

Indeed, 24.8% against 26.7%. Very close, comes down to 1.9% of the population.

Is Ruth Lea better informed on this subject than the likes of George Akerlof, Christopher Pissarides, Peter Diamond, Eric Maskin, Kenneth Arrow, Jean Tirol, Angus Deaton, James Heckman, James Mirrlees & Robert Solow?

UK population 65.1m Registered voters 46.5m Turnout 33.5m Leave 17.4m So that's 26.7% of the UK population voting leave Bonus stat for you. Who our next Prime Minister is will be voted on by 0.2% of the population. The winner only needs to get votes from 0.12% of the population.

Oddly enough a leave vote could lead to increased EU regulation of UK banks. At the moment the UK is exempt from the regulations but in place after the crash, leaving the Bank of England solely responsible. However we will now need to make a new agreement with the EU to have any hope of...

Yep, the census will show things like age and education by region. That would then be matched against the result in each region. So they could say we know x number of people in Coventry are degree educated and we know y number of people voted remain. They can then plot that for each region and...

From Thursday. The 2011 bit is the date of the last census which would have been used to profile the regions,

Because its the most accurate indication we have. Theoretically you could computerise the whole voting system and have 100% accurate anonymous data but you would never trust any public body enough to hold that sort of data securely.

Jesus, we need to bring in some sort of intelligence test before people are allowed to vote! This one's worth a look as well. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-anger-bregret-leave-voters-protest-vote-thought-uk-stay-in-eu-remain-win-a7102516.html

The ballots are never secret, all papers are numbered. However the numbers can only be matched to voters with the authority of the High Court or Parliament. In theory after the count they are supposed to be officially sealed. In practice they are, or at least were, all sent to a warehouse in...

Not ignoring it at all. I think you mistakenly believe I am a Corbyn supporter and for some reason expect him to be the only politician who doesn't bend the truth (at best). From what I have seen and heard from him during the campaign he has acknowledged that there are many problems with the EU...

The unknown, at least I haven't seen any data for it, is how the remaining 28% would have voted had they cast their vote. Will be interesting to see follow up polls and look at how much of a change there is when people realise the £350m isn't coming and we won't be able to do much about...

Exactly. They should now be working together to take advantage of the turmoil in the Conservative party but seem happier to destroy their own party. It needs to come to a head one way or another but I suspect if they are successful in removing Corbyn they will lose a lot of the supporters he...

YouGov have the Labour remain vote at 69%, LAP have it at 63%. Would be interesting to see where Caroline Flint has got her data from. I don't believe for a second that the comments Flint is making or the leadership challenge is anything to do with Corbyn's performance in the referendum. Its...

So your criticism of Corbyn is that he didn't lie? The stats I've seen suggest 63% of Labour voters were remain. That compares to 64% for the SNP yet there are demands (mainly from the Blairites) for Corbyn to go and not a word against Sturgeon.

Keeping it classy

Wasn't trying to prove any point, just trying to give some information :)

The two most common searches on Google in the UK the day after the referendum: What is the EU What does it mean to leave the EU Probably left it a bit late to google those.
