    Leanne Wood now saying her own voters have voted wrong.

    Another lunatic fingers in her ears....

    If you think this vote is going to be anything but terrible for the WWC. As Britain takes a lurch rightwards, and poorer- the WWC are going to get angrier, and blame migrants even more. Intolerance has been unleashed.

    Which is why you seem to feel people need a PhD and speak a European language before they get the vote...
    Tyson didn't suggest any such thing.

    Mr. Sandpit, no idea. He'd've won convincingly. I can only assume it was complacent arrogance.

    I think it's very important that our 'destination' is agreed as soon as possible. While our destination is unknown, investment decisions will be put on hold, which could tip the economy into recession.
    Having won the referendum on the anti-immigration votes of the WWC I cannot see how anything but "completely out" is going to wash.

    If Leave maintain Freedom of Movement then then Remainers are going to feel they cheated their way to a win and half their own supporters are going to be incandescent. I just can't see it. It looks like "completely out" to me
    The WWC can now be put back on the shelf. They're no longer needed.

    People on this board need to understand movements in financial markets.
    A 'surprise' has happened, there is a new equilibrium path for the economy, financial prices jump (in this case down) to the new path. This transition involves *overshooting* followed by gradual reversal of that overshooting. We have just witnessed the overshooting. If you want to profit medium term yoou now have a buying opportunity.

    The immediate question is whether you are right that we reached the bottom in one go. My instinct is that you are right for today - then people spend the weekend reflecting on all the implications, and the very real uncertainty about what lies in store for us politically and economically means that the sell off continues next week. So I would be very wary about going bargain hunting today.

    I see fasil Islam is pumping a narrative that labour didn't come out in their heartlands so leave won....when it was then opposite, all those northern towns turn out up & massive votes for leave.

    In Sunderland, Stoke, in Wales, they couldn't get to the polls fast enough to give junker the two fingers.

    (Peter kay gag) not seem them that fired up since they printed the names of those paedos in the local paper.

    Congratulations, Leavers!

    IMO Cameron is the most destructive, ineffective PM we've had since Chamberlain - for the sake of tactical advantage and party management, he offered the electorate an option that he believes (rightly in my view) would do both Britain and the wider world lasting serious damage.Let's hope he was wrong about that judgment.

    Corbyn was simply inconveniently honest - yes, membership meant unlimited immigration, and we should try to make that positive.

    "inconveniently honest"? Really Nick? Are you suggesting there are times it is right to lie to the voters?
    Your irony meter needs adjustment!

    Not for the Tories anyway. It's Labour who need to do some soul searching as to why their core vote delivered this victory and to try and get them back on side before whatever replaced UKIP hoovers up those votes.

    The lack of understanding of the announced results by the money markets was extraordinary.

It looked like it needed some grown ups to intervene.

    That's the key problem both sides now face. There would be a handsome majority in the country for an EFTA-style solution but because the WWC came out in numbers to swing the vote, Leave are beholden to them. It's an absolute clusterf**k
    The main problem with the EEA option is that it won't work for us. It barely does for Norway and it's unlikely we're prepared to completely outsource our foreign relations as that country does. But it is an attractive "extend and pretend" choice for both a UK that has rejected its best choice and an EU that sees itself fraying at the edges

    Ironically I'm posting whilst having my car washed at my local 5 quid a pop outfit manned by east European immigrants. Wonder how they feel this morning?

    You still don't get it , this is exactly why there was such a dramatic WWC turnout.
    Washing your car for £5 means they are being paid under minimum wage, which results in the the local WWC wages being compressed.
    Great for you , along with your cleaner/nanny/plumber.
    Disastrous for those competing in the same low skill space.
    They genuinely do not understand how competitive it is at the bottom end of the labour market. Not just for labour but housing, social and private, schooling, dental and medical services.
    Did hand car washes exist before eastern european immigration?

    The real 'blame' for this lies with the utter bastards who ratified Maastricht and then Lisbon without referendums. I am a die hard Leaver now. But I'd have voted to stay in with pleasure if we had forced the EU to accept a two-speed EU when we had the chance. The establishment didn't want me to have a say then so I am forced to go nuclear now (along with a majority of my countrymen). Reap what you sow.

    Is today's result a polling meltdown that's worse than the GE polling meltdown? What effing use are polls any more?

    They are completly pointless other than for providing betting opportunities
    Actually they are worse than pointless - it is very likely that the polls helped the Tories get their majority in 2015 thru the Miliband/SNP scare, which with hindsight wasn't nearly as much a risk as people were led to believe, and rather less likely but still possible that yesterday's remain confidence reduced its turnout. These misleading polls are actually distorting the result.
  • midwintermidwinter Posts: 1,112
    Congratulations to Leave. Absolutely gutted, not so much about the result (like many I was a reluctant Remainer) but definitely for Cameron who deserved much more for detoxifying the Tories and winning a majority.

    Sky saying that Nicky Morgan "taking soundings to consider standing for the Leadership" "as someone to carry on Cameron's legacy".

    Saw that, never going to happen.

    May, Hammond, Gove, Johnson. Anyone else a serious candidate for PM?

    Morning all.

    - Anyone But Boris starts now.

    - Is Richard Tyndall around? I owe him £100 from a bet dating back to November 2010.

    - Special thanks to @AndyJS and @rcs1000 for their brilliant work in analysing the par Remain vote by area. It enabled anyone following last night to come out ahead. The irrationality of the markets in the face of the evidence was a wondet to behold.

    - What a class act Cameron is. But I'm not even remotely surprised at his decision or the timetable.

    The lack of understanding of the announced results by the money markets was extraordinary. The pound was rising when the Glasgow and Liverpool results came through to boost the Remain total vote - without any understanding of the underlying fundamental results showing Remain was getting royally stuffed. It looked like it needed some grown ups to intervene.
    Once again City 'experts' leave a lot to be desired.
    Well look at the futures this morning predicting a 9-10% drop, it has now levelled out at 4-5%. Even Sterling has bounced back from 1.20 to 1.25 vs EUR.

    EDF have been desperate for a reason to drop Hinckley Point for a while.
    A client who works at Dungerness for EDF said that even if the vote was a close remain they would drop Hinckley using the line about Long term political uncertainty.

    But that's what leave was all about for some leavers: things they don't like (even when they are utterly clueless about them and they are nothing to do with the EU) wrapped up in a little box and tied with a purple bow.

    Fortunately most leavers are not in that category.

    Saved my bacon (at least if I ignore the value of shares and pension for the moment), to be honest. On the betting markets I started with a strong remain position and it was a race to undo my position without a loss. Thankfully the slowness on Betfair during the small hours in realising that leave had actually won already enabled me to reverse my position and I emerge with a small profit. Kudos to the guys on here who didn't believe the polls from the start and got leave at amazing odds! The financial markets were equally slow and gyrating wildly, and on the spreads i come out very nicely ahead indeed.

    The real 'blame' for this lies with the utter bastards who ratified Maastricht and then Lisbon without referendums. I am a die hard Leaver now. But I'd have voted to stay in with pleasure if we had forced the EU to accept a two-speed EU when we had the chance. The establishment didn't want me to have a say then so I am forced to go nuclear now (along with a majority of my countrymen). Reap what you sow.
    To true. Neither would have passed a referendum, and neither could have been enacted without concessions.

    The resentment is built up over years. Cameron needed the referendum because he offered one over Lisbon, but wasnt able to give one because it was ratified before the GE. Much to the pleasure of NPXMP.

    Has anyone got combined votes for Inner and Outer London ?

    The Telegraph gives the region of London as Remain 59.9%, Leave 40.1%
    Outer London would have been quite close as Leave won five boroughs and the big Remain wins were in Inner London.
    Ardent Leavers should look at the results in inner London and pause. Leave wasn't just defeated there, it was annihilated. This is not just a metropolitan bubble, this is the metropolis.

    The political debate in inner London is radically different from that elsewhere and some hard thinking needs to be done by those now about to take charge as to how they are going to address that democratic divide, especially as London is making the money that the rest of the country is spending.

    Steamrollering inner London into submission won't work in anything other than the very short term.
    Which is why there will be a compromise.
    The door is barred to that now. 76 million Turks are joining the EU, don't you know?
    Well I hope people such as yourself make your voice heard so we can get a good compromise.
    Leave campaigned on a clear prospectus. It would be a fraud on the voters not to implement it. I shall watch with interest as Leave attempts to do so.
    Leave no longer exists.
    Wrong, it is the new nasty party in the land of the blind.
    No, it no longer exists. The absence of Boris and Gove from the airwaves is instructive.

    Yes. It won't be Boris. The assassin doesn't wear the crown. May must be the favourite (would never have credited it), and though I have a small bet on Patel, Dave's resignation makes her getting any momentum unlikely -I think she needed to be a surprise candidate against an intransigent leader to 'do a Thatcher'. I think I'd like Leadsom.

    If you think this vote is going to be anything but terrible for the WWC. As Britain takes a lurch rightwards, and poorer- the WWC are going to get angrier, and blame migrants even more. Intolerance has been unleashed.

    Which is why you seem to feel people need a PhD and speak a European language before they get the vote...

    People on this board need to understand movements in financial markets.
    A 'surprise' has happened, there is a new equilibrium path for the economy, financial prices jump (in this case down) to the new path. This transition involves *overshooting* followed by gradual reversal of that overshooting. We have just witnessed the overshooting. If you want to profit medium term yoou now have a buying opportunity.

    The immediate question is whether you are right that we reached the bottom in one go. My instinct is that you are right for today - then people spend the weekend reflecting on all the implications, and the very real uncertainty about what lies in store for us politically and economically means that the sell off continues next week. So I would be very wary about going bargain hunting today.
    If there are more 'surprises' to come you may be right. Otherwise expectations are already 'priced in'. A weekend's reflection is irrelevant.
