Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

It was like that in Tower Hamlets where there were supposedly several hundred voters living at various addresses. It is one of the reasons that there is now individual voter registration now.

Yes and similar to the registration site going down 10 minutes before
cut off time here, when the government gave an extra two days for
those who left it till the last minute to register...
Outrageous..

I have no problem with the extension of the registration period. Everybody agreed to it and the more people registered to vote the better. It gives even more legitimacy to the result. I don't know the make up of those that registered late but better that than have people complaining they were cheated. Job done. No reason to complain - although they still do.

Its being reported in the press today that ....Turkey yesterday 'demanded
the European Union make it a member so it can take Britain's place after
Brexit'
Yes by 2020 they'l be fully paid up members, and will be flocking to europe
to take advantage of the welcome they'l receive, not long then when Islam
replaces christianity in europe...

I'm afraid that it was a wrong decision, they had plenty of warning, and to
extend the period by two days was an attempt to get as many, the remainer's
thought would be remain voters, ie young voters to register, the fact all sides
agreed to it wasn't to admit it was the right decision, but to cause a stink would
have given the remain side the opportunity to accuse the leave side of being
undemocratic...
Thankfully justice was done....

As being proved before, Haystack you appear to have a mental block and
a selective opinion when Turkey is mentioned.

And they, the remainer's are still crying foul anyway..And still hold out
hopes that a new referendum will be granted..

I still think as soon as any other country starts making noises about a referendum the EU will sit down and talk about the free movement rather than break up the EU ,we have done Europe a huge favour .

Chancellor George Osborne has abandoned his target to restore government finances to a surplus by 2020.
It had been the chancellor's most prized goal and had been driving austerity measures in previous budgets.
However, Mr Osborne said the UK must be "realistic about achieving a surplus by the end of the decade".
The UK economy is showing "clear signs" of shock in the aftermath of the vote to leave the European Union, he said.
In a speech on Friday, Mr Osborne said: "As the governor [of the Bank of England] has said: the referendum is expected to produce a significant negative economic shock to our economy. How we respond will determine the impact on jobs and growth.

Are you lot net getting the big picture yet?
Haystack is laying it out the way it is...if they (pcp) elect a remainer, the tory party will go against the will of the people, they will one way or another ignore the vote or keep fobbing it off, hoping that people will forget.
They will not do article 50

European Union leaders spelled out stark conditions for a new relationship with a departing Britain on Wednesday, warning that if British business wants to keep access to Europe’s single market, the country must accept European workers, too.
The leaders produced no clear rehaul for their shaken union after an unusual and emotionally charged summit, but agreed they must make it more relevant to citizens and keep it from disintegrating after Britain’s unprecedented vote to leave. The 27 remaining presidents, chancellors and prime ministers said they’re “absolutely determined to remain united,” EU Council President Donald Tusk said.
They met without British Prime Minister David Cameron, who left Brussels on Tuesday night without any clear divorce plan, fending off pressure for a quick exit and punting the complex departure negotiations to his successor. In Britain, nominations opened Wednesday for a new Conservative leader to replace him after his devastating political miscalculation in calling last week’s referendum.
Other EU leaders warned the U.K. that if it wants to continue to enjoy the seamless single market after its departure, it would also have to accept that EU citizens can continue to enter Britain. That’s the crux of the current tensions: Britain’s “leave” vote hinged on concerns about migration from poorer EU countries.

Well obviously they're not going to roll over before the negotiations
start, but there WILL be a deal where the UK will take back control of
its borders and obtain a free trade agreement that does NOT entail
having to continue with free movement..
That of course relies on who is leading the country and who does the
negotiating!!..
Anyone in the mould of cameron/osborne will betray the UK...
