Seven of the 18 NI constituencies voted to leave: Belfast East; East Antrim; Lagan Valley; North Antrim; South Antrim; Strangford, and Upper Bann. There was also only a very small majority for "Remain" in Belfast North.big mervyn wrote: Far as I know, every constituency here bar N Antrim voted to remain.

Hard not to think that the DUP Sheep especially the ones in East Belfast, Lagan Valley and North Antrim were behind many of those leave votes.

Just had a browse of the full results myself. The deeper I looked the more I realised how little I actually have in common with those south of Hadrian's wall on the bigger island. Bring on the border poll.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
More like DUP turkeys voting for Xmas. A lot of canny shinners also abstained from voting, knowing Brexit would weaken the union - hence the slightly underwhelming support for Remain in W Belfast.pwrmoore wrote:Full result HEREJim W wrote:Seven of the 18 NI constituencies voted to leave: Belfast East; East Antrim; Lagan Valley; North Antrim; South Antrim; Strangford, and Upper Bann.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
So you had a deep look at the results of a single issue referendum* and it made you realise how little you have in common with some other people? Are you saying you can only have things in common with others if they vote the same way as you did in a yes/no referendum on one issue, even if it is a biggy?pwrmoore wrote:Just had a browse of the full results myself.

By the same token it implies you have lots in common with those who voted the same as you, even though you cannot know anything else about them simply by looking at the results.
That's a bit shallow, is it not?
*Yes I know there are many issues involved in how those votes were cast in that referendum, but those issues are many and varied and can in no way be read simply from the poll votes.

Ballix. He'd be in the Top 1%......not that this necessarily says an awful lot given the state of the education system in NI. What you lot really need is some proper southern education standards in yer system and if yer not careful that is what ye will be getting.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: I know what you mean ... you mean Merv shouldn't be paid to be a primary school teacher.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
I don't think I'm shallow at all. Let's just say this has helped crystalize some thoughts that have been forming over the past several years (pre and post referendum) of reading debates, opinions, propositions, arguments, counter-arguments, analyses etc.Cap'n Grumpy wrote:So you had a deep look at the results of a single issue referendum* and it made you realise how little you have in common with some other people?

And this is a big issue. I don't like the general trend to the right of the "mainstream" in this dis-united kingdom of ours and I am more and more of the opinion that it does not represent an identity that I feel I can align with.

It's obvious now that your realisation that you have little in common with those south of yer man's wall has come about over several years and from different fora, and not just from re-reading the results of the referendum.
So why didn't ya say that in the first place ya eejit, ya?
Must admit though that I don't like the general trend of Bremainers to disparage Brexiters as any or all of, racists, xenophobes, sheep, turkeys or simply stupid. Now I know you are a sensible man and I'm not saying you are guilty of that, but would advise caution against even leaning that way.
I know several people who voted leave who most definitely are none of the above and would be very offended at the accusation they are DUP supporters let alone their sheep or turkeys. I know of those who voted leave on a matter of principle ... now some others may not agree with that principle ... but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed as racist, xenophobic or whatever, and certainly not stupid (whatever others may think).
I have little doubt that racists and xenophobes etc do exist, but to label all brexiteers as such does no one any credit.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
Analyses of voting patterns and a cursory glance at the Engerlish media's frequent vox pops from Leave constituencies (why do they always interview racist market stall holders?) would strongly suggest that the vast majority of them are. Having said that, my own unscientific analysis would also suggest that the even NI Leavers are possibly smarter than Lionel RemainersCap'n Grumpy wrote:[I know several people who voted leave who most definitely are none of the above and would be very offended at the accusation they are DUP supporters let alone their sheep or turkeys.
