If all this has told me anything, it's that the UK needs to review education. What the **** is going on with that? I'm still shocked that people didn't know what the EU even is.

England and Wales need to review education, Scotland seems to be doing a good job.

There's been a complete failure by the mainstream political parties to explain to people why immigrants aren't a bad thing. They've been disregarded as racists and bigots for linking their decreasing quality of life with the simultaneous increase in immigrants, when really it's down to government policies and austerity- which perhaps explains the lack of depth in how the mainstream parties tackled these views. It's always been a kind of a half-hearted well-maybe-an-issue-maybe-not when they address it.

It's easier to let the immigrant hate continue than let it turn to your own party

no politican can address this if people are simple as **** the message won't get through, I want to see one single study that shows people quality of life dropped in the past years in England when average life span continued to rise even in the past decade.

Had a good talk about this with my grandad this morning as I'm hungover.

It was very interesting and he agreed that we should remain and hopes by some miracle there is a second referendum.

Nicola can veto the exit?

No, at least not in the way she thinks, it's not a matter for the Scottish Parliament.

[Lukey]

My grandad also said Nicola should be the PM

Honestly Cameron shouldn't have resigned. We need leadership, we're now not going to get it until October.

Lemme just speak on behalf of Europe and frankly the entire world....

Britain.. just GTFO already.

I don't mean to be rude or aggressive, but you voted out and now it appears as though the UK has no intention of leaving.. like c'mon.

We do, but we need to sort out our leadership first.

If we are just looking at the numbers they voted to be out, but like what 30 percent didn't even vote and the results of the people who voted are pretty close, so a little more than half of the people voted out. The rest has to live with a descision merely made by people who will die sooner than later.

It won't even do anything, if people wanted that rule they should of done it before the referendum.

We need an actual government before we leave.

We are leaving but you have to understand even if we didn't have to wait until October for new Conservative leadership there are still two years worth of negotiations to be done, this is obviously not a simple issue where it can just be resolved in a couple of days, and frankly you would have to be stupid not to recognize that.

I can't find much on Quality of Life, but there's a few things on well-being, health, psychological positivity etc: http://hummedia.manchester.ac.uk/ins...-wellbeing.pdf

And then let's look at this on the referendum:


The one about life for their children is the one I'm thinking about - Leave clearly think that the next generation will have it worse off than them, so they don't see standard of life improving. And then further down we see they think life is worse now than it was 30 years ago.

We can see it's primarily working class, poorer communities that have voted Leave and they're the ones that have been most affected by austerity. Even if it doesn't come through in life expectancy (not a great measure thanks to us having the NHS anway), people are clearly feeling worse off since the recession.
