Indeed but that is now irrelevant as we're leaving the EU. What I would like to know now is how we are going to achieve a significant reduction in EU migration.

Never underestimate the ability of people to shoot themselves in the foot. As much as Germany may rely on us that reliance may be exceeded by their desire to protect the EU and punish the UK for our decision.

So you've voted for something having no idea what the result of that vote will be? That's exactly what put me off voting leave, there appeared to be no plan as to what would happen next.

Lets hope he's right. Doesn't matter if you agree with the result or not we now need to be working to ensure we get the best deal possible and the best outcome is to get a better deal than we had before. Did she drill down on that? I assume she wasn't saying there would be changes to non-EU...

You might have to change that to the past tense! Will it not be a negative impact on your business if trade restrictions and tariffs are now put in place?

Democracy is only 0.2% of the population getting to vote on who the PM is? What exactly does it mean to say its democracy anyway? There's numerous voting systems, very few countries now use FPTP as it is considered to disenfranchise many voters who feel, correctly in my opinion, their vote...

I remember him being interview on Late Kick Off and he claimed he was promised a certain amount of money in each transfer window that never materialised. Putting the blame squarely on the owners of the club. That said I would guess he had the biggest budget of any manager under SISU and some of...

You've quoted the Telegraph quoting the mail who were quoting his speech at the LSE and cherry picked. If you look at the whole speech you will find he was saying the Euro should be dismantled if the EU weren't prepared to undertake the reforms required to boost investor confidence in it as a...

I presume you are referring to when he said the high level of refugees entering Europe following so soon after the crash could destabilise Europe in the short term. Are you suggesting that as a result of leaving the EU we will now refuse to take non-EU refugees? How is that going to work in...

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...
