Let’s meet in Liverpool next year to celebrate the independence day :D

I'll be wearing my Everton jersey.

I hated Buddy Miles as a drummer.

A lot of your better drummers are one-armed, one-legged midgets.

We will see. Parts of London have already reported. And there is still a large number of votes to come from the Midlands, which could offset London. Brexit is winning, but still a third of the vote to come.

It is futures...Not sure how heavily traded DOW Mini futures are. I am going to look at currencies—that may be where the real action is.

OH, and it may or may not be great trade opportunity, but too risky for my taste.

Farage has been entirely too loose with talking to the media. He almost conceded early, then withdrew that, then reconceded, then softly claimed victory; so I don’t think he really knows anything.

Been reading a lot of comments from members in the UK tonight.

Their system is quite different from ours. If the people vote for Brexit, MPs most likely will not vote the other way. I’ve been reading the whole thread, a lot from UK on this thread. Maybe some will chime in.

Politicians who ignore the will of the people commit political suicide.

That said, Brexit will be a messy, prolonged process.

Hail sovereignty.
Death to uniparty, muzzlim invasion of the west, and globalism.
Good on you, UK.
May we do the same in the USA in November.

Germany opening the doors and ALL H#ll broke loose!

People read about all the horrible things going on because of the large numbers of immigrates. Europe has been overtaken.

Is London large enough to eat up the current difference in the number of votes?

Yes

A question for Brits or anyone who knows, how did this referendum come about? What was the political or legislative process that made it happen?

I remember watching a similar election in which I had no dog in the hunt. Years ago, Quebec voted on secession from Canada.

Election results were being presented by the excellent CBC News Reader Peter Mainsbridge and analyst Rex Murphy.

It was compelling to watch. At one point, only 400 votes separated the sides. I used that as my example on what to tell people when they say their vote doesn’t count.

Our city recently had an electoral tie. It took months to resolve. Had my college son bothered to get an absentee ballot, the tie would not have occurred. He learned his lesson and got absentee quickly for the primary.

Oh. If I could vote, it would be Leave
