Turnout!

Has a Republic replicated?

[STARLIT]

London with the heavy immigrant area has probably made the vote go to stay in.

[lodi90]

Londistan votes coming in now. 3 to 1 remain. South London was an old time British working class area. Not any more I guess.

[naturalman1975]

Pretty much yes - large city areas of Scotland and London are starting to report. These were always expected to go heavily to Remain. It’s way too early to panic. We’ve only have 59/382 areas report.

[Iron Munro]

Heh. Sorry abt the typo. ;)

Don't be concerned.

It worked out fine!

[RummyChick]

MI6 is busy with those erasers

[ealgeone]

A London area was reported.

[naturalman1975]

The votes are being counted now - the polls closed four and a half hours ago.

"You got me thinking... Trump/Farage = Reagan/Thatcher. WOOHOO!!!"

In Jeff Kuhner's 3rd Hr today ( Not on line on his website, perhaps on Youtube ) he made an impassioned plea to his Listeners on line in England to consider Exit, and that as we try to cut the shackles of Globalism, Hillary as the titular head of said power that a Vote for Exit was also a harbinger of a Trump Landslide and in Fact the Brit's might be in simpatico with Trump with this vote.

If Kuhner is right, and this trend continues, IMHO the wind is in our sails...

“City of London” isn’t all of London, its actually quite small. Like Actual Los Angeles

[hoagy62]

Remember....only 60 districts have reported. There are 322 more to go. Have patience.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I think they count late not sure when the polling ended

[mrs9x]

Is Sky Mews really projecting a leave win?

[nutmeg]

Yes, Remain is ahead via every source now. I can’t understand while Nile Gardner was so optimistic that Leave would win, over an hour ago. :-(

[thoughtomator]

Bookies are showing odds-on for the Leave vote and the markets are acting like they expect Leave to win, so that’s some ground for confidence.

Going to be a long night methinks.

[Enchante]

so if the UK overall votes for BREXIT, will there be renewed pressures for Scotland to split off? Scottish “nationalists” are largely socialists, and might prefer the EU to the UK???

[God luvs America]
