SgtRock Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) 5 results declared. No shocks. Leave slightly ahead. Kettering 61 Leave 39 Remain that is MASSIVE But a long way to go and when including scotland it is less certain for either side Very true, I found the stance of Sturgeon and the SNP very strange. I would have thought that the best chance of Independence from the UK and remain in the EU would have been to vote out.

WhamBam Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Question.... If Scotland sway the balance of the vote in favour of remain and England are massively in favour of Leaving... will that not cause even greater divide in the U.K.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point of it was that the remain camp made a big declaration of financial armaggedon. I continually made reference throughout the thread that the financial aspect was not really that high on peoples concerns. Why would you care about financials if you are scraping a living on minimum wage or a zero hours contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) It appears to me in England, the working class have shown Labour the finger. As with the Scottish referendum, their spokesperson s are blaming the government. Wales leaning leave just now.

Unfortunately Financials play a major part in a country's wellbeing so I can't see how hurting it when it's still down (from the GFC) is going to improve things for people on minimum wage/zero hour contracts. Which ever way it goes the people that have money will make more money from the result & the people who don't have money will be worse off.

Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk I would like to think that it much more than giving the finger to respective Parties.

When you are at rock bottom, things do not get worse. Those that ( not saying you ) listen to official Government figures are in denial. The Unemployed, zero hours contract, consigned to the scrapheap due to age, the list is endless. This is a massive amount of the populace and this is what has been deliberately overlooked.
