Have to say the massive uproar over this in UK re: petitions, new referendum, FB mates full of incredulity, makes me wonder who actually voted for brexit? Must be a massive subclass of thicko's like unemployed and general Jeremy Kyle types that voted out....
Where I am GE turnout is around 75% and referendum turnout was 78%.
In other words voters who normally can't be bothered to vote turned out this time.
Some people also thought their vote wouldn't count as however they voted as an individual labour etc get in. However as I live in a constituency that has changed party people tend to vote."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

The Swiss law incorporating the EU Freedom of Movement law, states that if a resident's home country withdraws from Freedom of Movement, the resident will retain their work permit without needing to reapply. What I've been unable to determine is whether that protection is built into the EU law, or it was added in by the Swiss.

Some people pay good money for that service.
Mt N is currently investigating the possibilities of getting an Irish passport, while we may not be married we classify as common law partners and also have a legally recognised partnership (had to when we bought the house here in cloggers), so there is a possibility. If that isn't possible then the next stop will be a Dutch passport.
He's currently looking for work which will now be nigh on impossible for him to get anything as the cloggies will not Dutch any British national due to the uncertainty of their status here.Comment

According to this:
... the Vienna Convention, a well-established principle which means the EU would have to honour where people are currently resident. And also, interestingly, forcing people back to their countries would go against the principles of the European Union’s very own Charter of Fundamental Rights.”Down with racism.

Remember this was pretty close 52/48. We'd do well not to gloat about the outcome. The most important thing now is for the Tories to get their house in order, pronto, and start laying out a concrete plan in preparation for invoking Article 50 later this year. They can at least set out a negotiating position, in general terms, which would include the treatment of EU citizens within the UK and vice versa. A bold statement needs to be made along these lines, probably an Act of Parliament, to add some certainty to those EU citizens within the UK that are currently worried. Obviously, it's trickier for the Scot and others in his position, but the last thing we want is to pour more petrol on the fire and invoke knee-jerk reactions by other EU countries.Comment
