    You actually have to deal with percentages.

    That way you could have worked out unlike the current PM that if only around 35% of the electorate voted for you, it is a bad idea to have a referendum....

      Sterling was up to 1.50 for USD and if Stay was confirmed it would have gone up a few points: 1.53-1.55, now it's 1.37, so -

      1.50/1.37=1.095
      1.55/1.37=1.131

      All sterling denominated assets lots 10% easily already, and I expect to lose at least 10% more if Brexit is actioned.

        Young people are to blame

        Yes, young people are to blame.

        Just doing some analysis that suggests if same % of young had voted as over 65s we would still be in EU...

          If they don't pull us out, I hope the working classes rise up and lynch the lying ****ers.
          If voting changed being they would ban it.

          But it is good to see you've moved from denial to anger.

            So you started at a peak, even though that was the first time it had traded there for months. (Average 1.43).

            Then you added on a few points for what it might have been, thus artificially inflating your figure.

            And then you make a statement about all Sterling denominated assets, which is just absolute tulipe.

            Honestly, stick to your BTL empire and leave currencies to people who have a freakin' clue.

                The one thing you certainly can't do in general elections is correlate percentages of votes with what is good or bad for you.

                Anyway, this was an absolute, not a percentage race. If they had stated up front it has to be x% then fair enough. They didn't. One vote would have done the job.

                  Vote's not legally binding.

                  Most MPs want to remain.

                  We've been cursed by the f***ing Tory party in fighting.

                    David Cameron quote:

                    Why should I do all the hard sh*t?
                    There's absolutely no plan and not even a parliamentary majority for what comes next.

                    You resign the from the EU,throw all your trade agreements on a bonfire, the ratings agencies have announced that the UK goes down to junk, oh and by the way Scotland will leave, taking all the oil fields with it.

                    Good luck to the next Prime Minister.

                      Some young people are registered to vote twice in two different areas e.g. where they live at university and at home.
