Worried as a Scot, politicians playing games with our lives, even if SNP use this as leverage to try and leave UK which they may well do, if they did win (still doubtful imo) there may not be an EU left in a few years to lean on, this result will drive similar referendums across wealthier northern European countries I think, will end up with 26 countries leaning on Germany as the only significant net contributor which is unsustainable.

I don't think the votes were high enough for Indy2.
Less than 70% is not enough IMO.
If I were Nicola I would let it run for a couple of years.
If England and Wales vote Tory again it should be an SNP shoe in.

The financial markets dont seem to agree with you about it being a great day and i hope it doesnt affect your back pocket

As for it being the "right" decision - i believe that wont be known for a good number of years yet

It was a certainty that they would be hit hard on day 1, week 1, month 1....who knows for sure...... the decision is only a few hours old. I am confident however that the decision for our future is the correct one.

If the SNP don't hold off long enough for the dust to settle so we know what we're voting for they will be confirmed as the unprincipled opportunists many feel they are.

And I mean years because that's how long it'll take for the uk to even begin to recover from this disastrous decision.

Really do hope it's the right decision for my son's future, I can see a few dificult years ahead, once negotiations are done and dusted and we see the impact, hopefully the right decision has been made and we prosper as one.

This.
I voted so hopefully in 10 years time my daughter will see some form of benefit. Let's face it, it was only going to get worse if it had stayed the same.

Personally I think the older generation have torpedoed our children's future. That feeling may dwindle as the dust settles, but strangely I feel less British this morning....,

There should be an IQ test as a proviso to vote. May have been different then :whistle:

I've stayed out of any debate about this because I've been undecided throughout.

What stands out to me now the result is known, is that the remain people are saying it's a disaster as if it's a fact, whilst the leave people are saying they don't know what the future holds but are excited at the opportunity that the result affords us.

I am happy to concede that pretty much everyone on here knows more than me, so I'm not after an argument because I have no ammunition, but I am also as sure that there are lots and lots of very clever people that think things are going to turn out just fine.

As for the stock market, it always overreacts to any news that means change, and it wouldn't have fallen so far if they hadn't inflated it in the last few days thinking they were being clever by anticipating a remain result.

Finally, what a plank Farage is making his speech sound like a speech from a film. I hope he has nothing to do with our future.

If leaving was such an obvious cock up then all the politicians from all parties would have been in the stay camp. The fact that they wasn't should bring comfort to some.
Look forward not backwards

Is UKIP not now effectively defunct, now their raison d'etre is acheived?

I think it could go two ways. Yes they could now be irrelevant. Or alternatively they could use this surge of support for their main policy to make electoral gains. It would not take much of a spin doctor to paint them as the most relevant party in UK politics now with their finger on the pulse of the nations feelings (OK, it is technically just over half that voted, but the point still stands)
