The forum was eerily accurate in predicting the outcome of the recent referendum. I'm interested in knowing how many have changed their minds given how the last few days have gone. Specifically if you have changed your vote I'd love to see a comment explaining why you've decided to change.

I'm not suggesting we have a second referendum. I'm simply interested to know if anyone on either side has now changed their mind. I get the impression that a great many people are actually rather surprised that their vote has actually made such a huge difference to the country. (And I don't think that's limited to members of the public either.. Boris Johnson springs to mind)

Rather oddly I think this may have been Boris' basic plan. have it very close, go back to the EU as Ireland and Denmark did, say 'look, we need to give them a better deal to keep them quiet' improve the deal, carry on.

He was wrong-footed by actually winning.

But, we are where we are and there's little to be gained by reflection; it's very much time for leadership, and the only place I see it right now is Ms Sturgeon.

This is what you got if you gambit at high stakes, to play even, bigger stupidity than to think, you can actually keep winning in the long run.

I realise the comments about it are in jest, but there are a couple of reasons why Nicola Sturgeon couldn't be PM.

1) She's not an MP, she's an MSP.
2) Since Westminster passed English Votes for English Laws last year, Scottish MPs are second class citizens in Westminster. There can never be a PM from a Scottish constituency because there are votes that they are not allowed to participate in.
