Solomon1   10 #1 Posted July 2, 2016 Evening Everyone  Where does Labour actually stand in all of this?  Is it the 48% or the 52%?  Can see the argument for both sides....  Thoughts and explanations please!  Cheers Sol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Solomon1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted July 2, 2016 Labour claim that two thirds of its supporters voted Remain. Â Would be SO interesting to find out the demographics of this support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Flanker7 Â Â 20 #4 Posted July 2, 2016 Labour claim that two thirds of its supporters voted Remain. Â The Conservatives could say the same. A proportion far exceeded by their MP's? Â Anyone know the percentages for the party's? Did any Lib-Dem MP's vote out? 100% of Green MP's voted Remain ;0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Penistone999 Â Â 10 #5 Posted July 2, 2016 Right now Labour stand in the Creek without a boat or a paddle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As did all the SDLP. The DUP backed Brexit. Plaid Cymru and the SNP all backed remain. Sinn Fein backed remain.  10 Labour MPs backed Brexit and about a third of the Tories.

Did any Lib-Dem MP's vote out? 100% of Green MP's voted Remain ;0) Â Addition at 10:42........... Â Joking aside. That's one of the reasons that we are in such a pickle. The will of the people is not represented in the House of Commons and they, the Goverment MP's, are the ones who are in charge of negotiating the new trading arrangements. The 'Leave' campaign could say anything they wanted (and they did) knowing that they would never have to deliver on the inferences of their slogans because they have no single constituency in the House. Leaver's voted on many different things but it was all a 'pig in a poke'. The only decision made on Referendum Day was a simple 'in' or 'out'. Â Many Leave voters decided on vague campaign sound bites. No Government will be mandated on vague campaign sound bites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Radan   10 #12 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Yes but... So what do YOU think will happen?  ---------- Post added 02-07-2016 at 23:01 ----------   Thanks dude  Have had a look...  There doesn't seem to be a graphic  Of party member voting?  No. I wrote those in post 6 to the very best of my recollection. The BBC has that data.......of course, the way an MP says he will vote does not guarantee that's how he actually did  (did JC vote Brexit with DC, did BoJo really vote remain? lol)  Edit: sorry do you mean how Labour and Tory party members etc voted, not just MPs? I haven't seen such a survey, sorry. Edited July 2, 2016 by Radan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
