YouGov state Tories 61% leave , UKIP 95% leave , green 80% remain and Lib Dem 68% remain and labour 65% remain

Ashcroft had snp 64% remain , green 75% remain , UKIP 96 % leave , Lib Dem 76% remain and tories 58% leave with labour 63% .
 
If I'm being generous and rounding up the final leave score to 52% and 65% of all labours voters voted leave and 61% of Tory scum voted leave, where are all the remainers coming from to bring it down to 52%?

It doesn’t work out , as I’ve said I might be wrong but I think it looks like he may have reversed the YouGov labour figures .
 
@Joey66 fiddling the figures again ? shock, horror who'd have thunk it!

I’ve just looked If you google it and just look quickly without examining its written like this


“27 Jun 2016 · Under-25s were more than twice as likely to vote Remain (71%) than Leave (29%). ... Conservatives voted to Leave, 61% to 39%. Labour voters (65%) and Liberal Democrats (68%) largely voted for Remain but significant minorities went for Leave.”

So if you don’t notice the full stop after 39% it’s a relatively easy mistake if you’re rushing I suppose .

Obviously the key bit to this debate is

“labour voters and Liberal Democrats largely voted for remain but significant minorities went for leave “
 
Is this the bit where the leavers decry the polls and say that every voter hasn’t been asked therefore the party split vote percentages mean nothing?

They’ve decried these stats before, as they didn’t like the fact that they show that the leave vote increased in line with age and decreased in line educational attainment.

ha, was waiting for that.
The last few days have been full of Joe's spurious google facts, and other brexiters with talk of dictators, super states and Hitler.
what a mess.

In all seriousness you do wonder , other than the NHS bus , what facts were doing the rounds before the vote and people were convinced were true .

I’ve said a couple of times in a couple of threads we are in a post truth world , the facts just don’t seem to matter any more . People say things and they aren’t true and they just repeat them and that’s that .
