EU Referendum: EXIT POLL

[danny la rouge]

Well, the niggling doubt got to me, and I surprised myself by voting Remain. I just didn't have the balls to hope that a Leave win wouldn't be seen by all and sundry as a vote of confidence in the UKIPpy right.

So, I wasn't happy about it, but that's what I did: voted for Remain.

I just did it too.

I'm sure if Corbyn or the Labour Left were prominent in the Leave campaign the result would have been the same.

what?

 

[NoXion]

I voted Leave, without hesitation. I find it hard to understand how people can end up not making their minds up until they're actually in the booth.

Classy.

Some bloke on the way into the polling station was loudly exclaiming that he had no idea which way he was gonna vote. I kinda wanted to stop and ask him what he was doing there if he had no opinion on the subject, but I realised that whatever his answer might be it would only make me even more annoyed.

Democracy: a system that gives the most power to the people with the least idea of what's going on.

 

[sunnysidedown]

Classy.

Middle classy I would expect.

 

[Treacle Toes]

How is that different from saying all 'leavers' are UKIP-esque racists?

Double standards much?

 

[Spymaster]

Classy.

Did you vote leave in the end?

Unless you're saying that most voters are ignorant, I don't see how the bolded bit can be true. The vote of someone who's read the arguments of both sides is worth the same as the vote of the person who decides by ignoring everything and just flipping a coin.

I have just voted to leave. Probably the proudest I've felt while voting.

And in a referendum where there are no stronghold or marginal constituencies, all votes from everywhere are equal!

Meaning what, exactly?

Nothing I suspect, or else you'd have come out and said it.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Yeah, fuck those pesky w/c migrants who are free to travel within the EU.

 

[Ax^]

Remain

Like I was going to vote for English independence

Lazy buggers not willing to have zee revolution to get it

I dunno so much - there is such a thing as false class consciousness; witness the working class tory.

This is how 60% comes about.

How about that the majority of squeaky bum last minute EU backing lefty turn coats are probably middle class?

Maybe we could do a poll (for a change)?

 

[Ax^]

do like how it might not be working class people who are voting because of the effect it might have on their wage packets
after no concrete assurances from the exiters...

but you right it must be the middle classes

 

[Fez909]

Voted about an hour ago. Leave. Very minor wobble in the booth, but no more than when I have to decide which lefty grouplet to vote for in general/local elections. I don't think anything will change for wc people either way, so I won't be disappointed if remain wins, but at least this way we have a chance, however small.

Currently drinking Scottish beer and eating Swiss chocolate and resisting the urge to get into arguments with friends on Facebook who are all implying that I (not me personally; all leavers) am a racist and have The Fear because I voted leave. Out of all my friends, both real and Facebook, I'm the only one who seems to be for leave. My family are all leave - I suspect for racist reasons mostly. It's the only time we've ever been on the same side politically, even if it's for a different cause. Feels strange.

I quite like referendums. We should have more of them. Was thinking about the Swiss model on the way back from the polling station and that might have been what triggered my chocolate impulse buy at the offie.

I wish this was a regular occurance.

 

[J Ed]

100% of the ardent pro-remain people I know are middle-class, there is a correlation too insofar that the better off they are the more pro-remain

 

[seventh bullet]

Yeah, fuck those pesky w/c migrants who are free to travel within the EU.

Leave voters are all xenophobes and racists, especially the working class ones.

 

[weltweit]

I can't compete with Fez909's Scottish beer and Swiss chocolate but I ate a French golden delicious with my meal, I do have some English pink ladys and English I think conference pears in my fruit bowl though to maintain balance.

You can do better than that.

Someone I know who is very middle class and affluent is virulently pro leave, (also quite right wing) so for me the correlation is not 100%.
