Probably due to the opportunist share purchases. Reckon it'll go up and down all over the place for a while.

Why did you vote for leave Cate?

I wanted the country to have a chance to rule itself, rather than being ruled by people in europe. To see if we could make it prosper as a business hub and make it somewhere people would want to trade from.

We do rule ourselves. Most of the important decisions are made by the UK government. And I don't think I've heard of much (can't think of anything at the moment) we've had to do as part of the EU that I disagree with, it's all pretty common sense stuff.

Is there anything in particular you're talking about?

The vast majority of economists think we're better off in the EU. They could be wrong of course, but it's a big risk to take.

I know, but I hope we can make a success of it, rather than being tied into EU rules and red tape.

With a business to run and three small children, I'd rather not have to bother with a couple of years of economic and political turmoil too. That's just my own circumstances, though, not the reason I voted the way I did.

I completely understand the way people voted as they did, we all had our choice.

Absolutely. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, so I don't see all this stuff you're talking about.

 

[Mawsley]

Official stats has it that Britain is currently 3.2% greater than it was yesterday. I think that says a lot.

you're lucky, it was awful. An ex poster on here was particularly vociferous on twitter

Removing all other issues surrounding this referendum, I still find it slightly stunning that a campaign run by Boris, Michael Gove and Farage, has won the argument.

I think the problem was that the remain camp decided to go for "project scare" and then treating everyone like they were a racist. If they'd just gone for the facts (on both sides) then maybe we wouldnt be where we are now. Maybe not, I dont know.

In a comprehensive survey of one person, Leave voters believe all three of them are total ****s. They didn't win any argument, this voter apparently had his own reasons for voting the way he did.

But then wanting to "**** shit up" probably wasn't the best reason.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that. As I say, though, removing all reasoning and theories, Boris, Gove and Farage, were the winning headliners. That's pretty amazing, really.

I'm not suggesting they were the reason people voted the way they did at all. Just pointing out the fact, that's all.
