" UNITED KINGDOM VOTES TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION "

Well - some of you have the result you crave. I hope now you will be big enough to deal with the consequences of a decision that will come back to haunt you in years to come. There may be no initial changes, but how you could vote to remove workers rights at the top of the list is beyond me. The prime minister is already gone, now its time for the buffoon and his sinister cronies to take over; god help us now. The real agenda starts here and it won't be pretty.

All things like workers rights can be made by UK gvmnt just as easily as EU could! it's up to unions and the people to fight for them, same goes for any laws or rights we as a country can make same laws rules ect ect .

P's who said workers right will be taken away by voting out?

What power do the unions have anymore mate?

Its the EU directives that we have signed up to that allows people to have leave when having kids, the minimum wage, paid overtime & holidays, working hours - do you honestly believe that big business isn't rubbing its hands at the prospect of getting rid of these in order to drive profits even higher for the few. As ever, it will be the poorest in society who suffer the most.

Gracious in a democratic defeat - the above says all you need to know about you

Very sad day. Wales voted to be part of little England. Led by second rate right wing Tories.
Listened to NF saying we can't make any promises onNHS investment. What a surprise! The security of pensions and the triple lock won't be guaranteed, and the working classes will be worst hit. Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas. I hope that this is not disasterous for our kids and grandchildren

And you.

It was poorest in Wales who voted out who are suppose to benefit greatly from eu money! while richest areas voted in, what does that tell you???

If leave win. (Which they won't ) the bookies will have a big pay out.

Old BB-77 really knows his stuff

If any party tries to remove workers rights the simple remedy is you vote them out at the next election. The people we vote for will actually be able to govern us now, not unelected unknown people in another country.

So do the bookies.The money they took overall on the event far outweighs what they'll have to pay out.

And by then the damage is done... Who are these unelected people, MEP's are subject to the same electoral process as those in the UK. Unfortunately, the British people took no interest until now.

I voted to leave and I am delighted that the electorate have finally decided to ignore project fear and put their confidence into the great people of the UK.

I'm not sure whether leaving the EU will cure the immigration issue, but at least the decisions will now be made by us and not 27 other countries which don't have our best interests at heart.

What I am delighted about is we have pull an emergency break on the undemocratic EU machine which was taking so many liberty's with our tax money. I really hope the UK is a catalysis for other nations like Holland and Denmark to follow suit. If that happens then the EU will have to rethink it's model and we might get a new EU which is more like the old common market which I would be happy to be a member of.

In fairness to David Cameron he has fallen on his sword. I just hope Jeremy Corbyn has the same decency to do the same.

The MEP's I vote for try their best to act on my behalf before being outvoted by MEP's I did'nt vote for and who live in countries I am not particularly bothered about. I can now hold the person I vote for to account, and if that person does'nt act in my best interest it won't be because of some person I have never heard of who lives in some other country.

where have I been ungracious - I believe in democracy and accept the result even though in my opinion the real agenda will see England vote to leave the UK, as well as the unravelling of all the protection EU directives gave to worker, equal rights etc...

Those people who live in other countries you have no interest in might well have felt the same about the people you voted for, but have taken a broader view that inclusiveness is better than insularity.

Yes, but this is the reason the majority voted out. They want our elected representatives to be able to act in our best interests. We are not alone in this, plenty of people in other EU countries feel the same. You can be fairly certain that parties in other EU countries will push hard for similar referendums. We were not the only ones who felt that the EU was not always acting in our best interests.

The 'unelected people' are called the EU Commission. There are 27 of them and all are appointed by the National Governments, they are not elected.

They construct EU law and then put it to the EU Parliament to be rubber stamped. It is the reverse of what we have in the UK. It's like the unelected House of Lords having the legislative powers over the elected House of Commons. The EU Parliament has no power to propose or introduce any kind Legislation even though they are accountable to their constituents. It is arse backwards democracy which is wrong on so many levels.

Most historians believe it was Japan who saved Britain from Nazi Germany due to their senseless attack on Pearl Harbour which brought the USA into WWII. Without American help Britain would never have defeated Hitler. You could also argue that the USSR played a huge role.

The biggest disappointment for me today was to see that 28% chose not to vote. Although I voted out, I will still wonder what the result would have been if at least 90% had voted. I am in the majority as far as actual voters were concerned, but I obviously don't know if I am in the majority as far as the population of the UK is concerned.

To re-cap

- UK votes to leave the European Union. 48.1% of voters voted remain, but Leave won with 51.9%. That's 16,141,241 of Remain's votes, compared to 17,410,742 of Leave's votes.

- The Prime Minister announces he will resign. He will remain for a little while to steady the ship, but then he will leave for a new Conservative leader to be in place by October.

- There has been a motion of no confidence in Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

- Nicola Sturgeon expects there to be another Scottish referendum on independence.

I agree with you totally here. But as a remain supporter I have more respect for the people who bothered to come out to vote. The vote was won fair and square by the people who were interested enough to vote. I/we can't use nearly 30% of the nation not voting as an excuse. I respect out democracy that we free to vote or not vote, we know it be a fair vote none of this silly mark you papers with pen (insulting to our country). And at the end of it the majority of votes want to leave so I'm not going to sulk and cry, but move on and be positive about our countries future.

Does this mean when I get around to buying a new toaster I can get one without reduced power, and not have to worry about toasting my bread twice before it turns brown. Hopefully my vacuum cleaner can remain the same as well. Was a bit worried it would take me twice as long to clean my carpets while my next door neighbour takes her kids to school in her massive 4x4.

Lol. I have no idea what the future holds.

I take you post as tongue in cheek as you come across as an intelligent well informed gentleman, and I don't believe you would have voted leave based on a toaster and vacuum cleaner. I'm sure you had reasons that are important to you and you votes in what you thought best for the country, along with the majority of workers yesterday.

Great news. Other countries will now want a referendum and pull out. What's left will then collapse and then proper reformation can take place with Britain leading it. The comments this morning by Brussels bureaucrats insinuating that the UK will be punished for leaving and there has to be 'consequences' sum up what they are really about and how they go about their 'business'.

There are several countries that support the UK so it's not all doom gloom and Europe got lot to lose as well by uk pulling out so they wont want appear petty do they? And your right several countries would leave if they held referendum now?

I based my decision on my own studies, and ignored the newspapers as much as possible. Only time will tell if I made the right decision. There were pro's and con's on both sides of the debate. Whatever happens, no-one knows what the future holds whether we remained or left. I am a homeowner and have shares in a bank, so I am probably supposed to vote remain. However, I voted leave because I believed that would be best for my grandchildren when they are older. We may be in for a bumpy ride, but let's see where we are a couple of years down the road. My local town has not exactly prospered in recent times. We have a new Lido courtesy of Lottery funding, a nice park, a couple of decent chippies but not much else. Can't see what being a member did for us.

Interesting thing is the valleys who are supposed to get millions in EU aid voted out so they obviously don't think th EU did anything for them either?

Now the people of the valleys and the poorer parts of Wales have rejected the EU, will they now have to go to London with their begging bowel and persuade the right wing tory government for funding ? good luck there
