What percentage of Sparks voted Brexit?

[MDJ]

I voted out and would do again in a heartbeat.

We should make our own rules but they main reason is immigration. We do NOT have a housing crises we have a population crises. Unrestricted immigration is the cause of our housing crises and other associated problems like pollution and traffic problems.

Nigel forage deserves a knighthood, without him the country wouldn't have got the vote. It's just a shame our positions are not carrying out our wishes.

That won't change, we can stop everyone except EU people coming in now but don't, nothing will change, the figures will still be the same in 10 years.

Out.
My only balanced source of news is "Have I got news for you", "last Leg" & "Mock the week" . Was Nothing to do with immigration...just the lies.

Hi guys,

This may have been done before, and to be honest I can’t be bothered to check. I was just wondering whether what percentage of you voted Brexit and what percentage didn’t?

I read all this stuff about what type of person voted out and what type voted in but the people I meet on in the trades all voted out. So is it a trade based opinion?

Thoughts would be welcome.

I, my wife and my three daughters voted in. We do not want to screw up the future for our next generation. Leaving the customs union will cause no end of problems.

Unfortunately there has been a whole raft of events that have played into the leave side of things in respect of immigration. Islamaphobia due to IS and the conflicts in the Middle East. Ironic that most of the nutters involved have grown up in the UK and Europe, probably with mental health issues and fallen foul of nutty Imans preaching in the west and using Western ‘uncontrolled’ social media. FWIW I don’t think the EU can work economically and am glad we stayed outside the Euro. As mention above, if we get a post Brexit industrial boom where are the workers going to come from?

You don’t know the answer either. do ya

Nobody knows the definitive answer since the details haven't yet been thrashed out but this article might help, unless of course you automatically disagree on principle with anything that particular source has to say.

Although I believe the EU isn't perfect and has its problems, I voted to remain because by staying in, I know where I stand.
All the marlarky of 350million a week for the NHS seemed too good to be true.
As for free trade deals, the vote leave guy who knocked on my door couldn't explain what exactly I couldn't buy now that will be able to with a free trade deal.

I also believe closing the borders may have a catch to it. They may close it to the Europeans, but open it up to others like the South Americans, Africans, and Asians. If one was to complain, they can turn around and say "Sorry fella, but you voted to leave the EU and stop freedom of movement to people of Europe. You never mentioned you wanted to stop people from South America or Africa coming here."

Staying in is better I believe.
Better the devil you know

OUT, the sooner the better, without paying them a penny more!

 

[Delboybully]

The best part of leaving is we can choose the skills of the people we let in. Not just anyone from Europe, we could choose people with the skills we need from outside Europe that under the current rule we can't.

The real interesting thing about the vote is that most people didn't believe anything the politicians said of either side and went with their gut instinct. Both sides told lies.

I voted out for exactly the same reasons my sister voted in. A future for our kids.

 

[a-z electrics]

Don't know how we allowed ourselves to get into this mess in the first place.. how many got killed defending our freedom in 2 world wars, and we then give it away!

So you voted on the fact that the status quo is better than educating yourself to the politics about the referendum and making an informed vote?
All the marlarky of 350million a week for the NHS seemed too good to be true.

This was a statement not a promise, it was trying to get the message across that while our own country is struggling in many areas we still are throwing 10billion plus to shore up new members, but of course the remain camp made it a literal statement even though it was clear that it wasn't a practical statement although i confess it was a ambiguous message so I can understand the remain camp latching onto it.
As for free trade deals, the vote leave guy who knocked on my door couldn't explain what exactly I couldn't buy now that will be able to with a free trade deal.
You base your vote on one guy who cannot represent his position?

I also believe closing the borders may have a catch to it.
Typical misinformation and remain camp brainwashing, at no point has anyone said we are closing any borders, what has been said is that we want to control the borders as the majority of countries do around the world, the simple fact is the EU migration is biased against the rest of the world meaning that someone from the EU has certainty of been allowed to come over yet a well educated professor from say India would be declined amounts to discrimination and in some cases racism.

They may close it to the Europeans, but open it up to others like the South Americans, Africans, and Asians. If one was to complain, they can turn around and say "Sorry fella, but you voted to leave the EU and stop freedom of movement to people of Europe. You never mentioned you wanted to stop people from South America or Africa coming here."

You need to follow real average opinions and not far right wing rhetoric views, I would love you if you can cite your information and position on this so we can evaluate why you think this way

Staying in is better I believe.

Well, that went well!

 

[markythesparky]

So a tough tot up suggests that (from this thread only) about 80% of electricians voted leave.

And that would make sense to me based on my conversations.

Thanks Guys and Gals and I hope we can now all kiss and make up.

You can set a pole up within a thread so members can tick the appropriate box, think that may have suited your inquiry better.

I’m just wondering who has been brainwashed here?
All this guff about lefties call you racist and all the rest if you voted out.
Simple fact is, righty May voted in and lefty Corbin voted out.
Another simple fact, is that the right want immigration because it provides cheap labour.
