Look, granted, if we do leave there will be uncertainty, but the idea that voting to leave the EU will instantly destroy the British economy is a joke. In fact, leaving might actually be beneficial to certain sectors, ie accountancy.
Particularly as a vote to leave does not equal immediately leaving. Christ knows what will actually happen, particularly as pretty much all LEAVE Tories are still pro Single Market (!). Everyone needs to take ten or go to sleep. I mean there's a risk of the markets throwing a wobbly with all that can then result, yes. That's a deffo possibility. But is distinct... (such a strange event, I'm even agreeing with cassius up to a point).

It is impressive what Farage accomplished. Totally unexpected.
Farage may have failed to win an MP seat half-a-dozen times, but he won the one vote that mattered, it seems.
Hmm? Farage didn't lead the Leave campaign (they actually tried to keep him off the airwaves as much as possible as he's not popular) and didn't trigger this vote.

Awake already... probably head back to bed shortly but... So is it just me or does it look like Asian heavy areas didn't vote as much in favor of Remain as one would expect. Looking at Hounslow in particular but also Harrow and Ealing and Brent to a lesser extent. Also Bradford, Leicester and Birmingham results. A breakdown of Birmingham would be nice. Is differential turnout an issue?
You are correct to observe this. And check out Luton and Slough. And Newham. And etc. Minorities in general turned out not to be a heavily Remain block at all. Suspect some Asian demos (which though?) may have been more than 50% Leave.
