Sounds like sour grapes from the

lefties who cannot accept they lost

Only those who can't see beyond next weekend.

I'm supposedly a leftie, and I think it's a great result.

Not, perhaps, in the short term.

But in the medium to long term, the UK can't lose, provided
they can get a decent non-Tory government into power.

What about if Ireland and Scotland leave Britain to join the EU.....???

Ireland is not in the UK and is an EU member.
Northern Ireland does not want to leave the UK.
Protestants would never leave the UK and they are the majority.
Dead in the water.

Don't be so sure about so called 'unionists' not wanting to leave the UK.....they see more $$$ in being with the south & EU than the UK.

Sinn Féin's grand plan on steroids.....In the last 3 years, by SF numbers, migrants from the south have increased by 17%.....what if that migration explodes, join in with the 'minority' already up north, & then they vote for unity?

What do you get....a United Ireland in the EU.

More than one million people have signed a petition in the United Kingdom calling for a second EU referendum.

Britain yesterday voted to break out of the European Union, in a thunderous decision that sent shockwaves across Europe and the rest of the world.

The final result showed 17.4 million people voted Leave, while 16.1 million people voted Remain.

The petition was created by William Oliver Healey and calls for the "Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60 per cent based [on] a turnout less than 75 per cent, there should be another referendum".

It gave a deadline of November 25, 2016, but just one day after the shock result, it has attracted more than 1,025,319 signatures.

At one point, the website crashed due to the surge of people adding their names.

The UK Government responds to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures and their Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000.

A map showing the distribution of the signatures shows a strong response from residents in London and surrounding constituencies.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-25/petition-for-second-eu-referendum-reaches-...

The referendum has got more signatories from the Vatican City than the number of people who actually live there and is now being widely investigated for fraud.

The signatories of that petition are largely sore Remainiac losers who only like democracy when it goes their way and who think votes should be held again and again until they produce the results they want. Also, I reckon a lot of the signatories are also 18, 19, 20, 21 year olds who couldn't actually be arsed to vote in the referendum and who now have the audacity to whinge now that they vote hasn't gone their way.

As this article explains - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-uk-leaves-the-eu-36671629 - it is highly unlikely that Brexit will be blocked.

They're a weird lot those Paddies. They fight bloodily to gain their independence from the British and then, a mere 50 years later, give up that hard-fought independence by joining what is now the EU. Now they're ruled from Brussels rather than London.

As far as Northern Ireland is concerned, its First Minister (the equivalent of an Australian state governor) Arlene Foster is a Leave supporter - she campaigned to get Britain out of the EU - and her party, the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party), the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, also supports Brexit.
