I want people to tell me why they voted #leave

[AliceScarlett]

I'm feeling pretty shocked and scared right now.

Why did you vote for brexit?

[AliceScarlett]

Ok that has not helped

[Idontknowwhoiam]

Seriously shariamom.

I predict the majority to have voted due to 'immigrants taking our hobs' blah blah blah

[braceybracegirl]

i think that's the answer then. Racism. :( i am currently altermating between crying and wanting to be sick.

[MurphysChild]

I agree with you idontknow

[SellFridges]

I'd like to know too. I feel as thought I, and all my friends, are missing something.

What will be better when we leave than it is currently?

[Mirandawest]

That's nice and measured ShariaMom. Although probably representative of many.

[LyndaNotLinda]

Well at least Sharia is being honest that she's v

[branofthemist]

I was a remainer. But the people who I know who voted brexit, did so because they want to be in the EU. They feel they don't like us and don't want us.

They don't feel the EU can be trusted.

They also dug their heels in when leave campaigners started the rhetoric that brexiters were racist etc.

This happened in the last election. Labour and their voters really alienated a lot of people. I think the remain side have done the same again. A lot of people were undecided and the nasty comments from so many remainers pushed the undecided away.

[SellFridges]

Although I did chuckle at the "immigrants taking our hobs". Do they take any kitchen appliance?

[zaalitje]

Say good bye to the NHS, say goodbye to equal working rights.

Can't believe we've done this

[Pooka]

Oh... So racism. Well that makes sense.

[LyndaNotLinda]

... Voted to leave because she's racist. So many leavers are pretending they're not

[AliceScarlett]

Well at least Sharia is being honest that she's v....racist?

[drivinmecrazy]

Well you certainly have your borders back an another thrown in for good measure. Hadrons wall will be rebuilt as Scotland chosen being part of the EU over being part of a United Kingdom!

[DoubleCarrick]

Because obviously at midday today they are going to round up all the "foreigners" and put them on a boat "back home"

[fastdaytears]

Wow I really wanted this thread to cheer me up. It hasn't.

Statistically, people have voted out because they're older with no higher education qualifications. But no graphs I'm looking at have actually made me understand why.

[Pooka]

Arf at hobs!

[LyndaNotLinda]

Sorry for leaving that post hanging - cat knocked my hand!

[Peachesandcream15]

I think the clue is in Shariamom's name....

[AliceScarlett]

Why goodbye to the NHS? Argh. I was not prepared for this.

[MUjunkie]

People have their own reasons for choosing whether to stay or go. I don't know why racism comes in to it! A difference of opinion doesn't mean someone's stupid or racist ffs!

[GahBuggerit]

in or out we were probably fucked, i voted out because immigration is a massive issue, my leave vote was my chance to be heard on it.

[AliceScarlett]

... Voted to leave because she's racist. So many leavers are pretending they're not

Wow.

Regardless of the implications of her username... Wow.

[Shariamom]

I'm not racist, i have no issue with non whites, but facts are facts, this country is full up, not enough jobs or houses, and I'm sick to the back teeth of immigrants getting first dibs on everything
We the British public have had enough of being second class citizens in our own country. That's why I voted leave
