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....

That's a bit rich coming from a supporter of the candidate that has undergone a damascene conversion in the blink of an eye.

Second EU referendum would be possible, former attorney general says
Research suggests as many as 1.2 million Leave voters now regret their vote
A second EU referendum could be justified if it becomes clear public opinion has shifted strongly against Brexit, the former attorney general has said.
Dominic Grieve, a Conservative MP who was the Government’s chief legal advisor until 2014, said the result of the first referendum had to be “treated with respect” but that it was not necessarily set in stone.
In correspondence seen and verified by The Independent Mr Grieve tells a constituent that the result of the first referendum cannot be ignored, but that a second plebiscite could become democratically justifiable.

UKIP appeals to the lowest common denominator in society. It is no surprise that their only MP is from an area populated by rednecks.!
Oh well just as we have been getting along so well you call me the lowest common denominator !
Tell me what you would have done in the Welsh Assembley Elections last month before the referendum ?
a} vote Conservative and back Cammy's view (remain vote)
b) vote Plaid Cymru ... bigger idiots than the SNP (remain vote)
c) vote Corbyn ... stick a red rossette on a monkey in most of Wales and it would win ( remain vote)
d) vote UKIP ... feck the EU (out vote)
If Wales had voted remain and Labour had won a majority in the Welsh Assembly then the Brexit vote would have been 3 countries against 1.
UKIP swung the Welsh vote.

As for "rednecks" ...
Tories imo are party full of most racist but keep it behind closed doors
Labour are so anti Israel its embarrassing but embrace terrorist nations ( Fred's a prime example)
UKIP are openly anti EU , hows that racist ?
.... or am I misunderstanding the term rednecks in which case I apologise.

One of Britain’s biggest overseas investors has dismissed Treasury warnings that foreign companies will shun the UK when it leaves the European Union.
In a coup for Brexit supporters, the UK boss of American manufacturer General Electric said Britain remains attractive for investors despite the uncertainty created by the referendum result.
Mark Elborne’s comments came as a credit rating agency said yesterday that dire warnings of ‘Armageddon’ after Brexit were overdone and the UK will avoid a full-blown recession. In the run-up to the EU referendum opponents of leaving the EU predicted that Britain faced recession and economic meltdown if the country voted to leave.
But now Standard & Poor’s has said it does not foresee this scenario – and forecast that the UK would ‘escape a full-fledged recession’.
Jean-Michel Six, the rating agency’s chief economist for Europe, told The Daily Telegraph: ‘We’re not in the Armageddon camp. Devaluation acts as a shock absorber. It stimulates exports and makes the London Stock Exchange more attractive to foreign investors.’

So it sounds like your neighbours will not be too happy with having rednecks like you. Lowers the tone of the place. You are an archetypal Tory snob Hays. As Dil says, closet racists. Love diversity as long as it is not next door.

What a load of balls , research suggests that 1.2 million Leaver voters now regret their vote , who does this research by the way the media stirrers poor losers . What if we complain that we voted for the Cons at the last election can we go back and re vote on that . It's beyond belief , maybe they ask all the remainers if they would like to leave now the World hasn't ended .

Depends on who is doing the research.
Haystack has now come out officially. Simply confirms what we already knew.
Haystack is a turkey, and he will vote for Christmas if the tory high command tells him to.

===========================
DAILY MAIL COMMENT: MUCH MOCKED FARAGE CHANGED BRITAIN
For years he was relentlessly sneered at and abused by supporters of every other party, yet Nigel Farage can genuinely claim to have been one of the most influential political figures of recent times.
Gutsy and tenacious, his achievement in taking Ukip from a fringe protest party to top the poll in the 2014 Euro elections was truly astonishing.
More than anyone, he recognised the depth of anger and disenfranchisement felt by ordinary people in huge swathes of Britain from the Thames estuary to Labour’s northern heartlands.
In particular, he articulated their very real concerns over mass migration when others feared being branded racist.
And of course, without him there would have been no EU referendum because David Cameron would have avoided calling it and the public would have been denied the democratic opportunity to express their disdain for life under the Brussels yoke by voting leave.
For that alone, Britain owes Mr Farage a debt of gratitude

He is staying on at the EU parliament to torment them. He does have a way with words doesn't he? Although at times he needs to think before speaking, like on referendum night with his early concession, based on the bookies odds, and there was no need to gloat at the EU parliamentary session. Sometimes less is more.
