Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You WILL get an EU referendum!

When does Paddy Pantsdown eat his hat?

No chance jimmy, things have changed, Cameroon won a famous victory, all previous promises will be in the bin.

Lets see if Dave sorts out the democratic deficit...holding breath not advised

Esther McVey out .

anyone know the turnout % split in scotland and uk and also the same for 2010?

Max,

If you look again at your glass, you'll see it's actually half full rather than half empty.

MaxK , we will get a referendum and hopefully vote out of Europe .

How about that Fred a Tory gov and shut the door on immigration ,couldn't be better.

Jimmy,

You'll get your referendum, but the UK won't vote to leave the EU.

JB.

I will watch.

I think tory ride will be rougher than you expect.

No half full glass hilly, simply realism.

Fred it would have been chaos if Labour had won ..

hilary i wouldn't be too sure about that ,there are a huge amount of people fed up with the EU.

i agree with hilary
but whatever the result, at least we'll all be able to have a say on it

And no one thought Cameron would win today either .

:) just missing the bow tie Max ..

did farage get in?

Still waiting ..

Well what a result with just a few more to come it's clearly been a very good night for the Tories and terrible for both Lib Dems amd Labour, and whilst the SNP have taken over Scotland they won't be too happy re the Tories.

Dodgy Dave's referendum promises.

Mind he lied before on previous treaties and will do so again.

He has also made false promises leading up to this election.

1) renegotiations of EU "contracts"

2) referendum by 2017

3) hoping, or demanding that the EU will negotiate at Cameron's required speed. They won't and although the majority would prefer UK to remain in the EU, my guess they won't accept Cameron's bluster and bullying. (As of previous.)

"Appearing on BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show, Mr Cameron said: “The referendum must take place before the end of 2017. If we could do that earlier, I would be delighted,” he said. “The sooner I can deliver on that the better.”


He wishes to stay in EU.

Many tories want to stay in the Union.

Votes in parliament may be a problem.

-===---=-

The little englanders may huff and puff, but Scotland will be a problem and as they seem to wish to stay in the EU., it will stimulate them to bring forward a demand for
a referendum on dissolution of Scotland.

What effects the above will have on the economy I can only guess, but sold my SB longs at about 8.15am and will watch the market for a few days before consequences are realised.

May be wrong!
