" The entire Labour party were in favor of staying"
Thatâs complete nonsense. Gisela Stuart and Dennis Skinner from the opposite wings of the Labour Party would be two prime examples.

An American Professor, Albert Bartlett, once said mankindâs biggest problem is our inability to understand the power of the exponential function (e.g. growth in population, the accumulated debt of the worldâs governments). For any organism that reaches maturity, further growth equates to either obesity or cancer. The EU, according to this theory, is diseased.
@anon7035031âs post, below, is along the lines of what I think too.
The EU needs the UK far more than the UK needs the EU. There will be lots of bluster and bullshit from Brussels, but they know the game is up. Greece hasnât a notion of making its debt payments this summer, and there will be no UK contribution to future bailouts. The EU is finished, this will start a steady stream of countries leaving, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary and ultimately France. The countries who will stay with the Germans are the ones who need ongoing bailouts like Spain, Italy and Greece. It will be interesting to see how long ze Germans will continue to support them.
You havenât answered the question.
Matt Cathy just destroyed John Bruton on Today FM.
Cameron was doomed whether he resigned or didnât today. If he had stayed there would be morons up and down the UK demanding he leave. He could not lead negotiations, it simply wouldnât have worked.
British Prime Ministers invariably know when the time is right and do the honourable thing. Compare that to the unseemly manner in which Eire Prime Ministers cling on in lame duck fashion like Charles Haughey or Enda Kenny with no mandate, or mandate exhausted.
People donât understand compound interest. I have spent a lot of meetings explaining how PIK works but people donât want to grasp the implications
Lots of people who voted Leave now saying they didnât really mean it⌠you couldnât make it up ffs
Ze Germans are going to make things really difficult for the Brits. they wont like this one bit. IT will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of years but personally i think there will be at some stage a 2nd referendum
They will in their fuck. The UK imports far more from Germany and France than it exports to them.
+1
whats your point? importing more makes things tougher for them but if they need the product they will have to take it. Germans will play hard ball. anyhow in the long run imo there be a 2nd vote and theyâll stay
How are the Germans going to âmake things difficultâ for them as you claim?
The more this sinks in the harder it is to believe, Iâve had no real access to media for most of today unfortunately, What is the mood like in Britain, this is the day that it all begins to go wrong for them in my opinion, we canât know anything for sure but I think zero good will come of this
They will not give in to a push for FTA, something which I reakon the out vote would expect. that will hurt the Brit economy
Two mavericks does not an argument make. The point is Labour got this one completely wrong, by aligning themselves with unelected useless self serving bureaucrats in Brussels instead of their own constituents. Pinkos are on the run all over Europe.
Refuse to sell them BMWs
The EU is a vehicle for Germanyâs manufacturing to sell to every other member. So now you think theyâll ignore one of their biggest markets?
because they are cunts and they hate the English. and as i said, if the product is needed they take it in
Thatâs fair analysis alright.

The leadership of Britain has never looked so bright, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Jeremy Corbyn, Prince Charles.
The rest of the world can only look on in envy
