I have never read anything so ridiculous as the above comment from Paul Dunnington – if the so called COMPULSARY vote actually happened why should the can’t decide vote be added to the remain, why not do 50/50 maybe because that would that still give the Leave decision?
People had their chance to vote yesterday and a decision was reached and as Susie Grey commented above we now have a blank canvas upon which to build our new country, granted it won’t be all plain sailing but our grandfathers did not fight 2 world wars for other countries to make our decisions – I think its a great day!

A sad day indeed, but this “decision” still has to be ratified by parliament. In light of the fact that some 28% of the country chose not to vote I would like to see parliament call for a second COMPULSARY vote with 3 choices IN , OUT or can’t decide with the can’t decide count being seen as a vote for no change and added to the remain vote. anyone not voting being subject to a fine that could be donated to suitable charities here in the UK. I know it wont happen but it just seems crazy that this 4% margin has changed our destiny when 28% didn’t even register an opinion !

Whatever you voted yesterday (and I voted to remain), we are now faced with a blank canvas upon which to build our new country. It is very disappointing to hear that the PM is to resign by autumn as he’d said he would stay on no matter what the result would be, perhaps a neutral candidate such as Theresa May would be the best person to take us forward, thus allowing for the 48.9% who wished to remain to be heard as well as those who wished to leave. We have the word Great in our title and now is the time to find a really strong and sensible pair of shoulders upon which we can rely on to negotiate a good deal for this country, and to truly lead us to a future which is strong and bright and full of hope and opportunity for our children. Let us hope that the Govt chooses the right person to do that when Mr Cameron leaves. Business Leaders, too, need to come to terms with the vote outcome and bolster opportunity and Pro-British speak, we need positive-only comments in the media and if these things happen we can hopefully look forward to a great future for our great little island.
