United Kingdom Referendum on European Union Membership

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Why is everyone acting like Leave has won?  There's not even close to enough votes to show anything at this point, except that Leave is outperforming the polls.

The polls were 52-48 to Remain though. Leave outperforming the polls makes it likely Leave will win.

Dude, less than 20 districts have reported out of 382 total.  That number is anything but conclusive.

You're the same person who freaked out every time the networks made a call in the primary season and claimed "TOO EARLY!!!"  No credibility!

If you seriously think that less than 10 percent of the vote is enough to make a call, then you need your head examined.  The US media got burned when they did it in 2000, and it will happen again as long as they keep doing it that way.  At least the BBC is responsible in labeling it as "Too Early to Call."

There's a reason why 2000 is always, every single time, the example you use for this.

Less than 10 percent of districts in, and Leave is winning.  That means nothing.  If Leave is still winning when 80-90% is in, then I'd be more comfortable saying that Leave wins the day.

There's

there's a whole world of intermediate space between 'it's too early to call! Early results mean nothing!' and making a final call. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Eden goes for Leave

Wales is a bit sh**t. Let's be honest.

Well Wales is far closer to England than Scotland is. While Scotland's appears to be diverging with England, Wales is doing the opposite and converging on English opinion. Scotland may well leave the Uk eventually but I am confident wales won't and will continue to become closer to England in the coming years.

The likely Brexit victory is good news for Trump.  The Brexit coalition is exactly the type of coalition Trump is trying to build.  Different context might make it not work in USA but such a coalition showing that it can win in UK can only be good news for Trump.

East Renfrewshire votes in.

Hot damn. It seems like it's happening. I hope my friends and I will go drunk not only on beer and wine tonight, but also on champagne. But it's still early.

While they can still afford it.

Well, this one last time they will drink French champaigne. In the future they will have to go with the Stockton-produced immitation.

You are so wrong. Trade exists, in the Union or without it.

If you think GB will have 0 trade partners like North Korea when they exit you are just misinformed.

It's early, true. But very good results for Leave.

BBC: sources in Labour call it for Leave.


People, its really happening. Im so proud of the UK. They do love freedom!

I'm a little surprised that Wales is favoring Leave.  I thought Brexit was mostly an English position.

About 20% of people living in Wales are born in England.

West Lothian votes to Remain.

The margin has grown to 174,000 votes. This is getting increasingly dyre.

People, its really happening. Im so proud of the UK. They do love freedom!

They must also love the collapse in their economy.

Indeed. Freedom for higher unemployment, deflation, wages drops... yay.

REMAIN IS COLLAPSING ON BETFAIR.

[jaichind]

I wonder if Cameron would stay on or just quit if indeed Leave does win, as it seems likely.

[afleitch]

East Renfrewshire; strongest remain so far in Scotland.

[Mehmentum]

The dam just broke on Predictit.  I'm making $$$.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I'm fairly certain that it will get tighter once more of London and Scotland come in--Remain may even take the lead at that point.

[Green Line]

Long live England!  What a beautiful, strong country.  So proud of them.

[afleitch]

Labour blaming the SNP.

Of course they are.

Of course, trade exists. It is just that French champaigne is, you know, expensive. You need to be able to afford it.

You really dont understand the arguments. Back to project fear. Britons just never will be slaves!

Denbighshire, a Welsh County went 54-46 Leave

Hopefully this means further integration for the remainder of Europe now that they are not weighed down by the UK.

No it wont. Next: the nexit and the Frexit! Down with the EU Leviathan!

Except 'project fear' is their spin for not having answers to legitimate question about the already emerging economic consequences. The real project fear was the leave campaign fanning the flames of xenophobia in order to win.
