The only way you could do it would be to have a compulsory vote. Then you'd have a majority of the electorate voting one way or another.

I'm surprised Labour hasn't made a move like that even prior to this. With the SNP strong in Scotland as an alternative to the Conservatives its going to be incredibly difficult for Labour to regain ground. A coalition of sorts with them, and possibly also firming up the link with the SDLP could...

Why compare the Euro to 18 months ago? It was still down from the financial crash then. Look longer term and you see it was recovering and has now dropped again. Of course that's only one day, we'll need to wait and see how it pans out.

A lot of people, on both sides, don't seem to have even a basic grasp on how these things are linked.

I thought we moved away from manufacturing as well but a chap from the official leave campaign was on the radio yesterday stating that we would now turn the clock back and become a country of manufacturing again. Not sure how that is going to be implemented, he didn't seem too sure either. The...

The total electorate for the referendum was 46,500,001. The leave vote was 17,410,742 which is 37.4%. :)

There was only two bloody options on this but all day there's been a parade of voters on TV and radio saying they voted out but didn't want to leave the EU. You put a cross in the wrong box then!

We need to get moving. The longer it drags on the longer the period of uncertainty which is not good for the economy. I hope Leave have a plan of action and can act upon it quickly.

The referendum has just magnified a problem with politics in general. People don't care about facts, Gove was even on TV saying people don't want to hear from experts! They just want soundbites and don't care if they are factually accurate or not.

It may well be the beginning of the end but would that be good for the UK? The stronger countries may well decide to stick together and make the UK pay for our role in the EU's collapse. That would be the worst case scenario for me. EU collapses and a new body forms more in line with what the...

Wonder how widespread this will be. I know 3 people who have said today that they are leaving and not in a having a flounce kind of way. In a making plans and handing their notice in kind of way. Also know 2 people who have been told they will be made redundant as a result. Again skilled...

Think Labour are shooting themselves in the foot here. If they go through with the vote of no confidence against Corbyn he'll just win the next leadership election. The rank and file members of the party are far more in line with Corbyn than the likes of Hodge.

Not if we want to continue to trade with EU countries we can't!

It's not like he was making different claims to everyone else. Boris had it plastered on the side of his bus.

How would it work in practice? You can't have an open border if one side has free movement and the other doesn't.

Its almost comical. Did people not think about what they were voting for: http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/update/2016-06-24/cornwall-pleas-for-reassurance-it-will-not-be-worse-off-following-brexit-vote/ Cornwall votes leave and now asks for assurances they won't be worse off when they lose...
