Internal French surveys say 60% of the French hate it, but as with the Farage/BNP situation in this country, they are afraid to openly say so in most situations for fear of being classed as Racist By Association.

Moving their political allegiance to Le Pen may be the trigger for their government to start doing something about their EU membership rules. As it appears to have done in the UK when UKIP started to get support.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Yes. It's literally what's going to happen from this point.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I understood the point of voting to leave was to take back control. Weirdly enough take back control and hand it to those politicians that many apparently voted 'leave' to protest.

So off we go. Strap in.

If you weren't aware of something as fundamental as the direct consequences of your decision I find myself wondering what else you weren't aware of.

By the by anyway. Another advertisement against direct democracy. :(

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The term "racism" tends to be overused and misused.

But I think that if the National Front starts making any further gains, the French government might rethink the rules, hopefully soon.

The Government have just released an emergency video to calm the uncertainty:

I'm confused Cameron did say he would see that the UK right no matter the outcome. now he has either being very clever or very stupid by quitting.

I think he should be hung for it. He spoke as the leader of our nation and hasn't followed it through

Osborne to make statement before markets open.

that's how it was before your generation

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It's hilarious.

The silence from the leave camp has been deafening, one would think they didn't have a plan if they won................

Also where is gorgeous George? Pointless really because when Cameron resigned he basically signed George's resignation letter too.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

He is making a statement tomorrow (Osborne that is).

The only person whose acted with any leadership here is Mark Carney who stepped in to calm the markets somewhat on Friday. And he is probably about to be fired by team Leave whenever they emerge.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

That would be a big mistake as Mark Carney has been a tremendous asset. I hope they see sense and let him continue in post.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

he was part of project fear.
when he should have kept out of it.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

After the other day. and what with him being a failure and having to move out of no10 and the world still laughing at him. I think he may do it himself mate.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

He is still a damn good banker and he has taken more action than anyone so far to reassure the world generally of the UK's financial stability.

As it happens what he said turned out to be right with the £ dropping the way it did.

Moreover, he seems to be the only one with a Plan B to cover this eventuality.

Hopefully, the Conservative party will get on with electing a leader and we can move things on,

Hopefully, too, Boris and Co have come up with some good answers to resolve this mess.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Finally Boris and Gove have emerged from the bunker and leaked that, yes, Boris is running for PM with Gove as his co-chair.

Sorted.
