    Or will we forever be a divided nation?

    Will future elections be split both by party and EU stance?

    I fear a scotland


    The tories are hopelessly split on Europe and have been for 30 years. What they are losing from the House is the passionate Europhiles like Ken Clarke or Heseltine.

    I reckon BoJo would happily stand for PM but say that he will abide by the decision to remain.

    The loony wing (Jacob Rees Mogg, John Redwood, Peter Bone et al) won't be able to shut up about Europe because that's all they are really interested in.

    If they had any backbone they would take the Douglas Carswell route - but they won't .

    That's inevitable given that UKIP is a single-issue party. On every other issue they are as mad as a bottle of crisps.
    ...

    That hasn't stopped the SNP I notice.

    Ahh, the SNP - a party committed to breaking away from an Union with a much larger ruling elite...who are also committed to a much larger Union with an even more remote ruling elite :rotfl:

    Can anyone post me a bottle of BuckFast please? I'd like either Smoky Bakon or Cheese N Onion flavour :)

    I felt that a slight correction was required ;)

    This isn't Scotland where the government is a single issue party and can't move on gracefully.

    Normal party politics will be resumed about 5 minutes after the result is clear. There will be no choice but to move on because the tenuous alliances of the two campaigns will disintegrate.

    Of course the angry mob are still going to be angry but what's new? I hope the futility of voting in UKIP MEP's becomes obvious. If there's a clear remain win then the democracy lovers (they claim to be) will surely start voting for people who will make the most of a bad job rather than just voting in sulking losers.

    I'm expecting Leave to claim vote rigging and various random conspiracies if they don't win.

    Apparently most pencils are "made in EU". And you know what that means.

    Pencils are used because they are more reliable than pens, and won't run if the paper gets wet, but if you are a conspiracy theorist, take your own pen and wear your tin foil hat to stop Dave remotely changing your vote through mind control :)

    i'll be seriously upset if there's an 'out' vote, but what could I do about it? post a narky Facebook update? aim a brick at the 'leave' sticker in the window of the babyboomer next door? come to think of it, the second of those isn't a bad idea...
    FACT.
