Oh Eurotwit, the intimidation ended once the UK entered the voting booth. :)

Broxbourne:

In 17,166
Out 33,706

A long way to go, but I am least less pessimistic than I was three hours ago.

Looks like overwhelming rejection of the EuSSR.

Nigel set a pessimistic tone after the polls were closed. I thought that maybe he was just lowering expectations.

London is made up of (IIRC) 33 different voting areas. They will come in gradually over the course of the night.

When Labour strongholds go Brexit, you can hear jaws dropping.

They are supposed to be pro-Remain - I mean pro-EU.

So much for the CW.

My fav is Mark Twains quote: If our vote counted they wouldn’t let us do it.

Of course. Let's look at some history:

Quebec to leave Canada. Oui side loses by 0.4% they're toast now

Scotland to leave UK, small loss they're toast now

UK to leave EU, small loss, now they're toast

Ireland votes to leave Commonwealth, has to fight war, wins.

Kenya votes to leave Commonwealth, has to fight war, wins.

Rhodesia votes to leave Commonwealth, fights war, loses

Southern States vote to leave USA, have to fight war and lose.

Andean countries of South America vote to leave Spain, have to fight war but win

America to leave commonwealth, has to fight a war and wins.

Twain seems correct, voting doesn't seem to work, if you win the vote you still end up fighting.

So good to see you again.

This vote is of course crucial for Europe.

But, it is way more than that.

It is a kick in the balls to the globalists.

I think we are in a dramatic change in politics.

The GOP might die.

The Tories might die.

The new battle line will be globalism versus nationalism.

I hope so.

At least Britain has secret elections in comparison with Sweden.

If Leave wins I will certainly consider it part of the same “spirit of the times” that’s propelling Trump.
