Watching the live results last evening and listening to Skynews commentaries was interesting.
First, LEAVE leaps forward. Newsies are in panic mode — but London hasn’t reported, so there is still hope.
Then, REMAIN takes the lead. The newsies basically declare it over, after that initial whiff of LEAVE leading passed.
Then, the voting got in the range of 7 to 8 million and LEAVE retook the lead and kept it, even expanded it, as each new million was counted.
Newsies and pols they were interviewing were in meltdown mode. It sort of reminded me of the 2010 election when Blitzer said ‘the Democrats have taken a shellacking.’
LEAVE finished with about a 1.3 million lead over REMAIN.
I listened and read until I couldn’t keep my eyes open! Your analysis seems accurate , what a roller coaster.
It’s going to take time to implement. .I pray they don’t lose their spine...as Maggie would say...”don’t go wobbly”...meanwhile, Rule, Britannia!
