Was at an meeting of assorted luminaries and senior wise-guys earlier. The general view seemed to be that Article 50 will never be invoked. A bizarre consensus but there we are.
slightly off topic. - I was thinking about the pre referendum predictions on turnout - the consensus seemed to be sub-60% meant leave, 60-75% meant remain, and above 75% meant leave. I don't think anyone was saying leave on 72% turnout - any theories on why we saw decently but not massively elevated turnout from GE yet a leave vote?
The highest increases came from council estates, in Scotland where the debate was one sided turnout was similar to GE, I.e. middle class more likely to turnout.
The turnout of pensioners was at a record high, the turnout of working class voters in safe seats rose more than was expected, the turnout of younger voters esp 18-24 appears to have been below 50%. Turnout in Scotland and London was good, but not as good as most of the English provinces. Thus turnout rose, but not evenly.
18-24 was 36.4%.
I find that figure one of the most depressing aspects of the referendum vote.
It was the biggest surprise of the night for me. I figured the youngsters would be incredibly fired up. As you say, depressing and disappointing. Something else to fix

The young can have no complaints about the outcome.
So much time studying the agreement..so little understanding.
Actually you do of course understand it as you gave me the example of Norway using the veto. It's just that you are in denial about it. You should try to lose the blog/chatroom mentality where you insult people and refuse to accept a point. It does you no favours.
I honestly don't now know what you are going on about. You are quoting bits of what I have said back at me as if it proves some point but what that point is I have no idea. Your posts on this over the last few hours have become rather incoherent.
EFTA members (4 of them not 3) can block our joining EFTA. If we do not join EFTA we do not remain in the EEA. Bad news.
However it appears that they are very keen for us to join EFTA so not bad news.
Once we are in EFTA we retain our place in the EEA. Good news.
Once in the EEA as an EFTA member rather than an EU member we are only subject to around 9% of the total EU legislative burden. Good news.
We cannot impose any new regulation on fellow EFTA members and they cannot impose it on us. Good news.
This does not mean we cannot adopt legislation unilaterally if we choose to do so although I don't really see any reason why we would do that. Good news.
If there is any move to increase the scope of the EEA agreement to cover new areas we can veto it - Very good news.
If there is any new legislation covered by the EEA agreement that we feel is fundamentally against our interests then we can also veto that - good news.
Not really seeing a downside here Topping.
My point was not about joining EFTA. Once we are in EFTA, and a piece of EU legislation crops up that one of the four doesn't like, it looks like they could veto its incorporation into the EEA Agreement. If it is not in the EEA Agreement (which as you know so well, specifically deals with those EEA/EFTA states), then it is not included in the single market (as determined by...the EEA Agreement).
Max said, and Charles said you said (AIUI) that if an EEA/EFTA member decides it doesn't want to incorporate a piece of EU legislation into the EEA Agreement, then another EEA/EFTA member can unilaterally decide to adopt that piece of EU legislation.
You say we can't impose [EU] legislation on EFTA states and vice versa and that is good. But is the corollary of that that if it is vetoed from being incorporated into the EEA Agreement by another EEA/EFTA state, we can unilaterally adopt it. What would be the mechanism by which we could do that?
@DPJHodges: Spoken to several Labour MPs. Told very strong feeling in PLP that no one should declare tomorrow. Confirmed Owen Smith taking soundings.
I know these people are totally fking useless but some of us have MONEY ON THIS FFS!
These guys really cannot inspire confidence surely have the nerve to have no confidence in the leader at a time like this and have no clue what to do next.
Completely incompetent.
Its not as though Lab has changed the system and somehow wrong footed them.
Incompetent fools cant think beyond ABC but then realise nobodys called that
We will end up with Liz Kendall as the challenger at this rate.
Who would still be far, far, far better than Corbyn. With the possible exception of John McDonnell, Corbyn is the LEAST electable Labour MP in the Commons.
WAKE UP
P.S. Has Nick declared whether he thinks Corbyn should stay or go yet? We've been waiting longer for him than Charlie bloody Falconer
If you want Liz you really should vote Tory.

Really no excuse either - if the typically non-voting working class got out to vote in high numbers, then no reason the youth vote shouldn't have been higher. As a millennial remainer I feel more let down by my own peer group than by pensioners!
Maybe why markets are rising. A stability candidate and capable of uniting the party
For the moment, the markets have moved on. They've done a bit of bargain hunting and are waiting on the Fed & China for the next piece of good/bad news.

I said 55 Leave, 65 Remain, 75 Too close to all 85 Remain
You have to question how they find the party members though. Their previous weightings of the public have been highly suspect. How do they go about finding members in Shropshire and Scotland?
Hopefully May delivers a corker of a speech (I assume she will be speaking tomorrow)
Is she good at speeches? I was impressed by her facing down the police federataion while back, but that might not be the right tone.
Though if SeanT is right and we want 'mummy' right now, maybe May should put out posters copying Merkel making her comforting hand gesture thing, the Merkel diamond - 'Britain is safe in May's hands'

If nothing else worked, presumably Parliament could copy paste the regulation into a law and pass that.

Good news for leavers. I converted to leave on the result and now my wife and daughter have joined me, though my youngest son was a Brexiteer before the vote. We are all confident that there is a wonderful future in front of us and hope that Teresa wins the vote. She has mine
He has a point. Why should he listen to those elected by 9,347,324?
Most of them just showed how in touch they were with those 9m voters by enthusiastically backing the Remain campaign.
Most Labour voters backed Remain. There's a lot of focus on the sizeable minority that didn't but most did.
But they thought that the "Remain" campaign was guaranteed to succeed. That is how bad their political judgement is. I remember reading the articles about a year ago - people like Liz Kendall and Chuka Umunna thought that staying in the EU was one of the main principles of the "centre ground", and that Labour enthusiastically backing the Remain campaign would be a good move for Labour and show how in touch they were with mainstream voters.
Clearly, it turned out supporting the EU was nowhere near as "centre ground" or "mainstream" as they thought. So why should I trust that they know how to win an election and how to appeal to the General Electorate, when they read the General Electorate so catastrophically badly on the EU???
We know it's going to be between Boris and Theresa... All these other non entities like Crabb and Fox are doing is holding up the UK getting a new Prime Minister at a time of crisis. They should all stand aside tomorrow, let Boris and Theresa go through and then we could have a new PM/Chancellor by the end of July.
You have to question how they find the party members though. Their previous weightings of the public have been highly suspect. How do they go about finding members in Shropshire and Scotland?
They just ring up all the Ant fans (of ant & Dec fame), but they stay well clear of those who say Dec is their favourite as they are all communists...that is according to the yougov panel.

We can if we voted! But yes I see what you mean, the meme that the young get screwed over by the old is bollocks, the young are every bit as able to vote as the old, they just don't care (or rather, a small minority care very deeply, visibly, and loudly, hiding the uncaring majority).
Well, at least it's not another 'I like and respect you but you are not the man for the party to help people' letter.
I wonder how many of these Corbyn's actually read? After the 10th 'You're a bit crap' letter, I'd probably stop.
Opening with how David Cameron spoke for most Labour Mps and voters may have been an odd choice. Reed also not about to let McDonnel fill the void either it seems.
Just of interest how many posters here will actually be part of the Tory 'selectorate'?
Apart from me, there is Richard N, TSE, Max, Casino, Plato, Concanvasser...must be more surely? So far I count 5 for May, 2 for Johnson.
And Marquee Mark I think too
Im not but my parents are
Currently both would support May but only as a Stop Boris candidate
I think the problem for Boris is he is a Marmite candidate and unless it is Liam Fox I am struggling to see who he will beat in a head to head amongst the Party supporters

That's great to hear. I do fear things are going to get worse before they get better, but as Mr Schauble puts it, we're a leading country. We'll get to a good place.
I'm a long-standing May fan, Boris's high falutin' fancy big-city talk don't cut no ice down here in the boonies.

Max made it sound as though there was something more formal than that.
It's over for May then - she's the favourite now I guess, and we know what that means.
It's the long-term favourite that loses. If you become favourite during the race that's survivable. Eg, Cameron.
I was only kidding - I hope May wins. Maybe she would be a bad leader, I don't know, but if she's managed to hide that she would be a bad leader after this long as a Cabinet Minister, she'll probably be ok for a time. Boris meanwhile would have to have been hiding that he would be a good leader all this time.
What the * is going on. Hodges now reporting that there may not be a leadership bid tomorrow and Owen Smith taking soundings.
Because, as ever with these Labour coups, the all-too-easy feeling of "[current incumbent] is doing crap" gets overridden when people start asking "but who exactly would do better?"

Please stick around, we don't have many youngsters on the site. While I'm not precisely sure of the demographic split, it feels pretty middle aged/old.

Firstly, to get onto the ballot of the party members. Secondly, to have Crabb as their opponent on the ballot of the party members.

Yes. It's one of those things where I just don't know how to fix the problem, as I don't understand it. I get not caring about politics, or politicians, of widespread apathy, but even that as an excuse only extends so far. I know 60 year olds who've never voted, voted in the referendum, but insist they won't ever vote again as they won't vote for a politicians, why can't the young be like that at least? More of them at any rate - honestly, I'm not even 30 and the young demographic are turning me into an old grouch.
Or that might be spending time on PB surrounded by octogenarians

I quite like him, and think he could be a potential good future leader, but I've not seen anywhere near enough to prove it yet. And I'm not going to take a punt on someone who might well be worse than Corbyn until they've proven themselves.
Comments
(won't bother to bore PB with restating the argument, I fear we are unlikely to agree)
So we have been dragged out of the EU by an army of the corpulent? Couldn't we just have air dropped free Mars Bars on them instead?
Yvette, please come forward.

Definitely time to turn off politics for a couple of months/years/decades. Tories should back May if they are sane, Boris if they want some more fun.
