there seems to be a trend on here sometimes for some people to follow the 'popular choice' on subjects that might be controversial, some will stick their heads over the parapet and risk getting flamed but most will stick to the 'right' choice. i bet there are posters on here today who voted to leave, saw the slagging off and decided to declare themselves as remain.
just a thought - ready for my hair singeing ! Smile

I voted remain, so did my DP, so did almost everyone in my team of 30 or so at work. We all stuffed our faces with consolation pastries this morning...

Remain. So disappointed, unfortunately I genuinely feel my children will be much worse off as a result of leaving the EU Sad

This referendum should never have taken place. Our European critics are right in stating that this was fuelled by political infighting and mis-information on all sides.
Exactly

I agree too. We should never ha e had this election. We elect the people qualified to make decisions at this level. David Cameron was an idiot to call this.

I voted remain. I don't know anyone who voted to leave and it seems that neither did my wider network

I voted remain as did dh, dps and ds.
I was proud to live in the north of England - now I'm ashamed to live in an area where 66% voted leave.
Went out today and felt so isolated in my home town.

I voted Remain, as did literally all my friends, FB folk. Didn't see this result coming...

I agree that Cameron was a fool to promise this referendum. The master of his own downfall.

out of all the eligible voters aged 18-24 only 25% bothered to vote. 75% (approximately 18.25%) of voters did vote remain.

Shock

I really think we need to make voting compulsory, albeit with a 'none of the above' option in ballot papers.

I saw this coming unfortunately...over half of my area was brexit. The rubbish I've heard is shocking and sad. We are going back into the dark ages with hearts filled with intolerance and hate. Unsettling times.

I voted remain as did my husband and my oldest DS (18) This morning my DS who is usually pretty laid back and non political was really angry - this evening he said he'd felt like a cloud was hanging over him all day. My FIL (82) who my DS adores and generally respects voted leave - we've sugested they don't discuss it when he comes to visit on Sunday.

We are stuck with it. Ignorance, lies and wishful thinking have won the day!
Let us not consolidate it with Boris Johnson as the negotiator. Theresa May might be a reasonable candidate.
If I was young I would emigrate.

Happydays we are making plans to leave with our 2 young children (2.5 and 11 months). We've spent time living in various cities across Europe before having children (thanks to 'free movement of people') and frankly, GB is no longer a place we want to be. I don't want my children growing up here. I strongly feel that Britain is a worse place following yesterday's result.

DH and I were both remain

I agree with the pps that we should never have had this referendum. It's too big a decision, too many consequences and too far reaching for the general public to decide.

I voted remain as did my dh and just one neighbour from my street, everybody else voted out. Interestingly, my neighbours who voted out were mainly wc manual workers whilst me, dh & neighbour who voted remain are professional & university educated. This observation ties in with what someone mentioned up thread.

I voted remain as did my DP, my DD, my DM, my DF, my Dsis and both my Dbros. Suspect most of DP's family did too as they are Scottish.

I, my DH, mum, brother, grandparents and the majority of my friends voted remain (the friends that didn't vote remain didn't vote at all).
