Brexit Votes by Constituency

[Coastal99]

Where can I find data on the EU referendum by constituency?

You can view what the EU referendum result was in your constituency in this look up table we’ve produced. It collates the estimates by Dr Hanretty, those published by the BBC, and other known results for Parliamentary constituencies

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...stitunecy.xlsx

Based on that analysis, 62% of Parliamentary Constituencies voted Leave - Sefton voted Remain

We can't actually find out how the constituency of Southport actually voted as our votes were counted collectively under Sefton and as far as I'm aware there is NO actual constituency of Sefton.

Southport could have voted to Leave.

Love to know where they got their figures from as Southport votes were not counted separately for the referendum. I know as I was there counting them.

Every individual box counted has the results recorded then collated so if necessary the results could be published not only for each ward but down to the area of each box in each Polling Station.
If required individual Ballot Papers can be traced back to a voter but I think that sort of investigation requires a Court Order.

Well, considering that the majority of the local population are supposed to be of older people in Southport, the figures sort of hits the theory on the head that most older people voted to Leave! Ha!Ha!

The figures given in the link are from the London School of Economics. Guess who funds this school heavily? Yep! The EU! All figures available are sourced from Councils. The only figures available are from Sefton Council - for the whole of Sefton!!

The results shown - conflict with that which is known. If the majority of Southport had indeed voted to remain - why did the majority vote for a Conservative MP, when Conservatives had promised to Leave the EU?

Also - in the European Elections earlier this year - how is it that the vote was an overwhelming win for the Brexit party?

There is much propaganda published on the Internet, especially on certain topics. The way to recognise such propaganda is that there will never be shown any opposing views, as would occur naturally over any other topics.

The estimates produced by Dr Hanretty are therefore an indirect way of estimating what the results by constituency may have been.

Not really accurate. Or it might be. Nobody seems to know.

High time voting should be compulsory, as it is in Australia. And Proportional Representation should be adopted. That way there'd be no need for poor turnouts and they'd have an accurate picture of what the public actually want.

Unfortunately, that would strip a lot of votes from the main two parties, so it's never going to happen.

Not all Conservatives are/were leavers
Not all leavers are/were Conservatives
Not everyone who voted in the referendum voted in the general election or the EU election.
People change their mind over time.

Would be calculated after by postcode as all voters have to be registered?

The vote was also said to go by area of affluence and higher education.

It is irrelevant the United Kingdom which includes the Scots even though they think they voted separately voted as one to stay or leave.

The outcome was a clear vote to leave.

Democracy can be a nuisance when you are on the losing side.

Did you read the link? The figures given were those compiled by Dr Chris Hanretty, who, at that time, was with the University of East Anglia... not the LSE. The other figures in the link are the actual known votes counted by constituency.

Some local authorities did break the vote down by ward, therefore they do have the actual known number who voted to leave. A total of 169 constituencies have been able to provide actual vote numbers. As you say, Sefton was not one of them.

The Excel spreadsheet has columns listing Dr Hanretty's estimate, yes or no for known result, known leave, and the leave figure to use.

Dr Hanratty works for the University of East Anglia.

More accurate stuff and explanations;-

The Euro Elections only had 37% turn out in what the majority of people viewed as a meaningless exercise, the main parties took a similar view with low key campaigns preferring to save their money for the next GE.

Well to muddy the pot the University of East Anglia is very involved with the EU with Horizon 2020, it is the European Union’s biggest ever research and innovation programme, with almost €80 billion available to projects up to 2020.

Clearly they don't want to bite the hand that feeds and why else would they fund such divisive research, the class war stirred up by remoaners has been one of the least edifying narratives in our political history.

Yes, Estimate! The London School of Economics is renowned for being heavily funded by the EU. Do you think that anyone employed there would risk losing his position by publishing anything that would earn their disapproval?

I prefer to see the numbers that post on the local blogs - most of those are young people on social media - that paints a completely different picture.

As with the media - reports on the internet are proving to be false and cannot be trusted. I have seen reports on one particular subject alone, in which I know, the facts have been altered completely, even though the headings show that they are sourced from 'reliable' publishers.
