The banter is on point. Although we shouldn't be joking about something that could drastically change the world.. but that's for further generations to fix. We can all have a good laugh about it.

All in all I'm just glad I'm alive to witness something like this. Hopefully Slovenia will leave the EU at some point too, we gotta get off this sinking ship. The sooner the better.

I'm hoping that it shakes the EU up a bit, and they issue a counter-offer to the UK. Parliament already has to debate a second referendum.

Not that I agree with a second referendum. What's done is done. Lots of people who voted "Leave" as a protest vote thinking we'd never actually leave are shitting themselves though.

Having a 50/50 poll with something so important to a country is never a good idea in my opinion, either make sure a vast majority wants to vote in to a certain direction, then look towards the options instead of promising 'If this passes we'll leave the EU'.
My facebook is full of people celebrating but more than half of them don't even know what's gonna change and how it's gonna make 'Great Britain great again'.

I don't really involve myself in to politics too much but seeing some people talk about how this is going to better their life just makes me face palm in real life.

Oh but don't worry, it's okay. Agatha who works down the local shop voted out, so it's obviously the right thing to do.

Julio, can you provide a real source that majority of those who voted to leave are uneducated?

No. Don't misquote me. We've had enough of that from both sides.

Quote from: Julio
Statistics show that:
A) The uneducated were more likely to favour exit
B) The elderly were more likely to favour exit

And to follow up on the statement that those with a higher level of education were more likely to vote remain.

I didn't say "All people who voted leave are uneducated." I said that uneducated people were more likely to vote leave. We can clearly see that some educated people voted to leave, and some uneducated voted to remain also.
I simply noted a correlation between voting leave, and education level.

According to a YouGov poll, the following voting patterns emerged:

18-24: 75% Remain
25-49: 56% Remain
50-64: 44% Remain
65+: 39% Remain

This was decided by the older people, as usual. Stocks have already taken a hit.
So apparently 20 year old people are highly educated, that's very impressive for that age.

I can see you're not a statistician mate.

They're independent, different statistics.

What we can say though, is that if you fall under the following categories, it's nearly certain you voted remain:

1. 18-24 years old
2. Level 4 education or higher
3. Labour party supporter

And FYI, it's easy to get a Level 4 qualification by the time you're 18.

Yea, polls aren't impartially and fairly answered.

Elderly are generally less educated due to the lack of economic recources and pressure to achieve in their time. Given the fact that such a high percentage of elderly voted leave, explains the outcome.

Julio get over it lad.

Btw, my borough voted mostly out and funny enough most was foreign based  :lol:

Im one for the upper generation if the older generation say its worse now then it was before then you go with them because bascilly they expirenced before and after the EU.

What does Level 4 fall under? Uni? I'm 20, in Uni and Conservative. I voted out too.
I did Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT, 20 years old and work in a hospital cleaning plates. Now I cannot vote cos im a fucking retard according to Julio.  :lol:

If Scotland go for independence from UK to go to EU that would mean we would have to... wait for it....
