Brits who voted to leave European Union now Regret-xit

As Britons woke up to their new reality on Friday morning, many began to ask “what next?”

More than 30 million people from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland – and even tiny Gibraltar – went to the polls, with 51.89% of them deciding that Britain would become the first country to withdraw from the 28-member bloc.

“Christine Black, of Newton Mearns, said she voted for Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom – but given today’s results, she’s not sure how she’d vote if another referendum were held”.

Numerous hedge funds had commissioned their own exclusive exit polls at a cost of up to 500,000 pounds, which asked people how they voted on their way out of polling stations.

Meanwhile, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that it was clear that the Scottish people saw their futures as part of the European Union, following a 62% remain vote in the country. Northern Ireland also voted to stay, and Irish nationalists are already arguing that the British vote should lead to an all-island referendum.

Declan Kearney MLA, Sinn Féin national party chairperson, said: “English votes have overturned the democratic will of Northern Ireland”.

“I didn’t think my vote was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to remain”, he explained.

Northern Ireland: Leave 42.2%, Remain 55.8%.

We await the final UK-wide result, but Scotland has spoken – and spoken decisively.

Ireland’s central bank had warned that a withdrawal would hurt economic growth and jobs and significantly impact the financial sector, while a government-commissioned report found it could cut trade with Britain by at least 20 percent.

In the historic referendum yesterday (Thursday June 23), a majority of 52% of voters agreed to leave the European Union, while the remaining 48% of voters wanted to remain.

We can argue the people took the referendum more seriously, but that is besides the point.

The party in power in the union which held the referendum campaigned for both votes – leaving as well as remaining.

Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation shortly after, saying he would stay on for the short term, until a new Prime Minister was selected before the Conservative Convention this October.

North Ayrshire has voted to remain in the European Union – but the United Kingdom as a whole has voted to leave.

Just over two thirds (67.2%) of eligible voters in Scotland took part in the referendum, with a total of 2,681,179 votes cast north of the border.

“If the predictions are right, this will be a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, and a victory for decent people”, Farage said at a Brexit party. “June 23 will be our Independence Day”.
