REVEALED: How your area voted in the EU referendum

In some data, provided by local council's across the UK, statistics are available for individual neighbourhoods and towns.

Overall the borough voted to remain with 12 wards sticking in favour for Europe and 10 areas wanting to leave.

Upton and Heswall were amongst some of the highest percentage of votes for remain whereas Prenton and Bidston and St James were the highest percentage of voters for leave.

On this week’s Question Time, held at Wallasey Town Hall, Brexit remained a hot topic of discussion, with one audience member causing pandemonium on social media with her comment about Brexit bananas.

She said: “I was voting remain and at the very last minute I changed my decision and I went to leave and the reason because of that is because of I go to a supermarket and a banana is straight, I’m just sick of the silly rules that come out of Europe…”

David Dimbleby interjected: “Have the bananas changed?”

She continued: “If you go to Aldi they’re a bit bent – it’s the fact that there are opportunities out there that I feel we need to see as a country."

Wirral West MP Margaret Greenwood told the Globe: “I campaigned hard for a Remain vote in the run up to the EU referendum because I believed that it would be in the best interests of the country to remain part of the EU.

“Despite a great deal of campaigning by the Remain camp, we did not win the argument and, as you know, the country voted to leave the EU.

“I respect the democratic decision to leave the European Union and last night voted to trigger Article 50 at the second reading of the Bill in the House of Commons. I will do so again next week at third reading. The Bill will then go to the House of Lords to be debated further.

“Labour has put down amendments to the Bill to ensure that fundamental social, employment and environmental rights will be safeguarded, and that Parliament will be consulted during the process and have a meaningful vote on the final agreement reached as a result of the negotiations.

“Labour will hold the Government to account throughout the process and fight for the best possible deal for Britain’s future.”

Birkenhead MP Frank Field said: “I voted against the amendment which would have wrecked the implementation of the referendum decision to leave the EU. I then voted for the bill that will begin the withdrawal negotiations. I did so because I believe on balance that leaving the EU is the best course for the country. I would have done so even if a majority of constituents taking part in the referendum had voted otherwise; a majority of them happened to vote in favour of leaving.

“I voted on the basis of risks. Staying in the EU would have had risks, and never more so when the single currency implodes. Leaving has risks in that we will need to negotiate our own treaties with the rest of the world.

“I don’t accept that the EU will be able to punish us that easily. If, for example, there is no agreement for the City of London, we may see a financial crisis developing in the EU banking system which any sensible European would be anxious to prevent. So the negotiations will swing between advantages and disadvantages, and we must aim for an agreement – however it is presented by the EU – which is good for both sides.

“That will prove to be difficult, but we must set out with that aim. To encourage that aim I believe we should universally cease using EU citizens in Britain as a bargaining chip. Getting off on a high note will, I hope, help to savour the negotiations which will be long, hard, detailed, and frustrating for most of the time.”

Wallasey MP Angela Eagle told the Globe: “Whether I like it or not, it is a fact that the country voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union. In Wirral this result was reversed, 52% voted to remain and 48% to leave. There is no reliable constituency result as in the Wirral votes were all counted together. Therein lies the dilemma.

“I decided at this stage of the Bill – the “Second Reading” – to vote with the Labour Whip to allow a debate on how we can amend the Bill to build in the guarantees that I require to ensure we don’t have a “Hard Brexit”. Indeed, the overwhelming majority of members who responded to my survey said these safeguards were necessary and just over half of members thought we should only authorise Article 50 once these amendments are in place.

“You can see the speech I made during the debate below this post.

Let me clarify what this means. The “Second Reading” of a Bill is the earliest stage at which a Bill is debated. It is followed by “Committee” and “Report” stages, at which amendments can be tabled, debated and voted on. Finally, we have the “Third Reading” at which the Bill, with any amendments, is voted on again. It then goes off to the House of Lords and if there are amendments there it will return to the Commons.

“Typically, if there is a Bill that Labour agrees with in part, but has serious problems with, we vote for or abstain at “Second Reading”, vote for our amendments at “Committee” stage, and then we have a final vote on the amended bill at “Third Reading”. If we haven’t fixed the Bill in "Committee" we would then vote against it at “Third Reading”. In this instance, the Party imposed a "three-line whip" ordering MPs to vote for the Bill at “Second Reading.” We do not know what the Whip will be at later stages.

“MPs are sent to Parliament to make tough decisions. This is one of the toughest decisions I have ever had to take. I would like to thank the people of Wallasey both for having put their trust in me to weigh up the incredibly complex questions before us in Parliament and to take a decision as the representative of all of Wallasey.”
