[Closed] EU Referendum - are you in or out?

It's flip flopping!

The results? Well yes, but I started off, like most people, fairly certain it would be a reasonably easy win for Remain. The results so far don't seem too bad at all.

Does anyone else want to slap the Tory Leaver on the beeb. There are going to be a lot of dissapointed people if it goes leave. Then he drops the Germans in....

I was thinking about the betting (which I've always found most reliable predictions long/medium term, even if they get it wrong often enough that I've made money) and the currency markets - could get very decent returns on Leave before the first results.

Jacob Rees-Mogg confuses me. I am against most of the things he stands for, but can't help liking him and finding him an engaging speaker.

Just heard the bizarre Bill Cash (I was on the loo) saying this is the "soul of the British" saying it's fed up with Europe.

Really? Given that it's been flipping back and forth over the 50% point for the last 5 hours, it must be schizophrenic.

He is a good speaker, just disagree with the words. Again banging on about soverengty and that the UK has given all it's power up. Guess you just keep saying it then it must be true

I think everyone expected it to be very close.

I don't think Cameron would have risked pledging to hold a referendum had he thought that. It always looked like Remain would win, there was nothing really to suggest they wouldn't.

The "it's going to be very close" thing is what you would expect from campaigners, they need to say that to get their vote out.

Opinion polls can't really be trusted on an issue like this - it's different territory to normal elections.

Victoria Coren interrupted him on HIGNFY to say "Can I just say I find you incredibly attractive"? 😆

 

Indeed ernie - Remain were supposed to win at a canter

Woke up to feed the babies, feel bad, guess they wont be getting EU passports

Stop being such a Dr Doom, Kimbers. It'll be fine.

*crosses fingers*

"Opinion polls can't really be trusted on an issue like this - it's different territory to normal elections."

Didn't have much success predicting the last one though.

Turnout will be key, as above the % by area and the map mean nothing. a high or low turnout for one side in a big region could change a lot more

Its amazing how much difference there is between the boroughs.

I wonder if the weather has affected the turnout. I thought about 80% was expected

Right, I am off to bed to spoon with Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Good luck to those staying up, and I am 99.3% sure Remain will win......probably.

The IncredibLy Tedious Bore Brothers on ITV right now... Fox and Campbell

Happy Trails, hoohaa.

I'm assuming common sense dictates smaller constituencies will report earlier so there are still some big numbers to come

Will be devastated if people have used this as a protest vote without grasping what this means exactly

Again most of the Leave speakers are continuing with the themes that just are not the fault of the EU. Some great interviews for jobs in advertising

The big numbers are London, at a guess it amounts to 15% of the electorate.

So things could change significantly in remains favour.

within 200k on my screen ernie, no signs from most of Brum & Manchester yet along with a lot of London

Rees-Mogg seems plausible, but then he comes out with the old "most of our laws are made in Brussels". Which is bollocks.

There is that big bar sitting way over to the right on the BBC chart still. I think also Birmingham which should be Remain. It feels like Leave at the moment though - can get 8/1 on Remain which is actually incredibly tempting

Double bet by doing it in pounds...

and the pound now down at GFC levels... all looking good isn't it. How much gold is left?

I feel alienated from my country. Can I opt out of brexit; declare my house a seperate principality?

I don't get it. Who are these mass leave voters? Admittedly they're not up here in Scotland but I work with and socialised with people all over the UK and I never once got a sense of this. It was 90%+ remain

Jacob Rees-Mogg doesn't look too happy. In fact he looks like he's shitting himself. I wonder if he realises just what him and his mates have done?

I don't get it. Who are these mass leave voters?

You really have to ask that? Every small-minded racist, little englander and idiot who harks back to the empire days has crawled out the woodwork.

Der Fuhrer is on. I guess, barring the cities votes saving the day, we can look forward to a lot more of the shouty little weasel in the future.

Farage is disgusting

A win for decent people?
They fought the multinationals?

He really is clueless. We're doomed if this doesn't reverse

Listening to Farage it sounds a bit too much like some of the speechs by some of the people we later wish had never been elected to anything. Appealing to the base fears and hatred with a good chunk of ignorance.

I don't get it. Who are these mass leave voters?

edit 6 Million to go

I really wish we could swear on here

we can look forward to a lot more of the shouty little weasel in the future.

Why? What will be the point of UKIP after this referendum?

They have just 1 MP in Parliament.

Farage is just terrible.. @boardinbob of the 30 or so people I've spoken to about this vote, only one of them, my missus, was a remain.

Much the same was asked when the Tories won the election

This is a direct result of the sneering, browbeating, judgemental and condescending attitude taken for too long by many (but not all) on the political 'left'. If every time people speak their mind they get called racist or stupid, they simply shut up in public and vote what they feel in private -the shy Tory effect became the shy Brexit effect.

Why? What will be the point of UKIP after this referendum?

Remember all the people who believe whatever they are spoon fed.

What were they spoon fed? The Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the LibDems, the Greens, the SNP, all told them to vote to remain.

attention seaking, lots of gloating, more insufferable shite like the drivel Farage just deliverd to his - well to be blunt - bit racist mates

Jesus Christ! 😯 , just woke up so I thought I'd have a quick look to see how much of a beating remain is handing out to the brexiteers and I'm shocked, wtf is going on?. Sod this......I'm going to back to bed and hopefully by the morning it will reveal itself to be merely a nightmare and we are still in the EU.

I see another Scottish referendum on independance in the coming future, bring it on!

The pound continues to fall steeply – it is at $1.34, which is around the lows of 1985.

The FTSE 100 futures is down nearly 8% - we will have to wait for the index to open later to get the actual number.

The Nikkei market in Tokyo is down over 6%.

Well the world loves the result

more attention seaking, lots of gloating, more insufferable shite like the drivel Farage just deliverd to his - well to be blunt - bit racist mates

Yes he will still be attention-seeking after the referendum, but the reality is that he won't be very important.

What's he going to do with one MP? What compelling reason will people have to vote UKIP which they didn't have last year?
