Apart from Boston where (without looking it up) I am sure they had the largest "Leave" vote. They are perceived to be over run thereWisbech may be another as last time I went there it was hard to hear any English spoken.
Funny thing is the places where people voted Leave probably did best with the funding. Even Doncaster. Just look at the news over the last few months they're more interested in London transport links than the Norths links.
MachoSo. No failings from Corbyn then? Excellent, clear, passionate campaigning from him?
Ffs your embarrassing! I voted remain for me it was to maintain the status quo because I feared for my children's futures. The remain campaign was based on fear? Nothing positive about staying just the catastrophe if we dared to leave. A very bad tactic as they didn't understand that in every city, town, and village the general public thought how much worse can it get?! The leave campaign had the job of convincing people of change (always harder) so did embellish and run a positive campaign thats why we ended up with the result. Remain lost what should have been an easy victory because they were basically out of touch. Just like subsequently with the election campaign. Their more savvy now and this result wouldn't happen again.We will be ok there wont be u boats in the channel and dig for victory campaigns.Its a shit state of affairs but the best option is the one being taken ; stall stall stall and hope the eu disassembles in the meantime or they offer what we they want (as we are dressed up in another name)For every leave exaggeration there was a leader from another nation telling us to stay. You can't pontificate about the state of mindof the leave voters its divisive, elitist and as helpful as 2nd anus.Analyse,understand and add. Get better not bitter!!.
Was that ever realistic though given that even the Lib Dems, who have been the most committed pro-EU party in the country for decades, only managed to get ~70% of their voters for remain?
The LDs were down to a rump party by 2015-16. In the 2015 election, they had the lowest support that a centre party had received since we’d had decimal coinage. And many of the ones who left them in 2015 were the centre-left types who had mistakenly believed that the LDs were a kind of cuddly Blairite party without the nasty bits. So it’s difficult to compare the 2015 LD supporters with the “recently traditional” view of the party supporters. By the way, I was wrong about 67% of 2015 Labour voters supporting Remain in 2016. It was 63%. If it had been 69%, we’d still be in.
I just think it's hilarious that 4% of UKIP supporters voted Remain.I mean I know they're not the most intelligent among us but what the f**k was that all about?
