The demographics of the Brexit vote should surprise noone. I wouldn't have let the over 70s vote. They've pulled us out, and it won't affect them one bit.

On your way off thinking we should also have stopped unskilled, semi skilled and lower educated people as they also voted to leave, and the there is over a million Scots voted leave, if they could have been identified beforehand they could have been stopped from voting, and then there is the 60 to 70 age group, apparently they were partly to blame. Democracy! What a bummer.

I was up all night and I have to admit around 9am I had a "what the **** have we just done" moment. But I am now over that and looking forward to the future.

The EU as it stands is broken. It should never have been about politics only economics but we are where we are. The major issues with the EU are not going to go away overnight or easily such as the Euro, slow growth, undemocratic structures etc. The far right wing across Europe is just going to grow and grow. It just feeds off of social discontentment and the EU has done nothing but feed this. Could France actually vote in a far right leader next year? I would not bet against it. They do not have their problems to find that is for sure. Being pro European this pains me but these problems are systemic and we could never have solved them from within - proven by the small changes Cameron was able to negotiate. Hopefully, coming out will act as a catalyst for the countries remaining in the EU to tackle them. I have my doubts and that is why I believe others will almost certainly leave.

I concur.

Wife's buisness is wholly reliable on the single market and the movement of goods in the eu, she will now lose her company because our country is being dragged out of the EU against our countries will. This is a nightmare

Dinna panic min !! There will be ways around it all.

We all survived trading before EEC . We`ll survive after it.

After all, it`s only been a matter of hours so far. And there`s a two year exit schedule before it all kicks in ?

I do have a sneaky admiration for Corbyn with all these resignations. Reminds me of the Billy Connolly story when his Dad had a stroke and he was paralysed down one side of his body and when he visited him in hospital he raised his non paralysed hand up to God and said "Is this the best you have ****ing got".
