    Actually you will find that the Labour party were more united on this issue than almost any other. Whilst I agree that Corbyn is a poor leader, to blame him for this is bonkers. If you want to blame any Labour person for this, try Blair. It was under his leadership that the Labour party lost it's links to it's heartlands, by taking them for granted.

    Although, as TOBW said, the main culprit is Cameron for offering the referendum in the first place, which was held because of a division within the tory party.

    The Labour voters were pretty united on this to be fair

    The media will paint it as though its all Corbyn's fault though...

    Yep bottled it ,should have also allowed under 16's to vote , man had to stand down, if I was him I would have used the press conference today to directly attack Brussels with a simple "" told you we needed meaningful reforms at our discussion on a new deal for the UK ,welcome to the snowball effect "".

    I think if Labour gets its act together quickly , they could prosper from this . As it looks a right wing Conservative leadership may appear and go after its usual victims , the lowly paid , etc . If Labour fronts up to the fact immigration , is a key factor to its electorate ,including being tough with asylum seekers , as well as Europeans migrants , they could see a ground swell of votes come their way from UKIP .

    However its a tough one for Corbyn , as he has already called for more asylum seekers to be let in , so best he move aside gracefully and let a young free thinker ,with no baggage , take over .

    Time to be brave Labour .

    If (big if) there is a vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn by the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) it will effectively be an opinion poll of 230 odd Labour MPs. There was some confusion last year about the respective roles of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the annual conference - and in particular about the right of the NEC to call a special conference and about the process to be followed where MPs want to displace a sitting leader/deputy. However, I think this explains the process that any anti-Corbyn plotters will have to go with:

    http://labour-uncut.co.uk/2015/09/12...ving-a-leader/

    This is covered by Chapter 4, Clause II, rule 2 B ii. This crucial rule states “Where there is no vacancy, nominations may be sought be potential challengers each year prior to the annual session of party conference. In this case nominations must be supported by 20% of the Commons members of the PLP”. Thus an annual challenge is possible. It must take place before Annual Conference....

    I assume the NEC will lay out a timetable for MP nominations and member/supporter voting (one person one vote of individual members, registered supporters (the £3-10 supporters) and affiliated members (Labour levy payers via trade union) culminating in a result announced at conference.

    Mine is 13, the whole school had a vote, each tutor group have a bit of a " facts powerpoint presentation "

    her tutor gave the Remain and was fine, then as she clicked the leave, she pointed out it was all Lie's

    Anyways, they were about to vote and the tutor came out with " how many have phone contracts ? " most of them did, the tutor then went on to say " a £ 30 a month contract if we leave will cost £ 50 a month, do you think your parents would pay that "

    then they could vote

    after the vote, a boy asked " Miss, which way are you going to vote " which my daughter laughed at and was asked by the tutor " which way do you thing i am going to vote ", Leave we her reply, Oh yes, you are right was the following reply, my daughter said she had never heard such a unbiased discussion since i discussed it last LOL

    only £ 500 away from having my spends for this year, By next year it'll all have calmed down and we will be back to norm

    saying that, we went when it was $2 to £1 once ( before we had the children ) so you have to take the rough with the smooth
