This can't fucking happen

It just can't

 

[Par Score]

OK, OK, Sunderland not toooooo bad, that's only a little north of 60%, and turnout wasn't spectacular.

Oh shit. The £ just collapsed.

 

[Forsete]

Dont have the energy to stay up, good luck UK.

 

[iNvid02]

gg sunderland

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I have no idea where clackmannanshire is, it kinda sounds like a fake place, lol.

It's the county next to mine, a tiny place. Literally a couple of towns and villages across the foot of the Ochil Hills on the way to Stirling. Demographically, it's a weird mixture of poor larger towns, wealthy small towns and villages, along with some stunning scenery.

 

[Kathian]

Worried by the fact I know Nationalists voting Leave to force a referendum now :/

 

[sammex]

ffs sunderland

 

[operon]

The country is going to be fucked for a long time

 

[Zaph]

Don't worry guys, London's got this

 

[Broken Joystick]

fuck me
cant sleep now

 

[jelly]

Proper fucked.

 

[Flintty]

Why are you happy about this???????

Because I voted leave, of course.

 

[Gastone]

Sunderland rocks

 

[Delusibeta]

61% Leave in Sunderland is around expectations.

 

[dealer-]

So what was Sunderland expected for, and how does it compare to the actual?

60% leave was expected I think.

 

[gutter_trash]

People cheering the fact their currency will tank like a stone in the morning.

now that you worded it that way.. I do want Leave to win so that my Euro vacation becomes cheaper

Spoiler

/s

 

[SuperSah]

Is it happening guys?

 

[Kyari]

That crowd in sunderland was unsurprisingly almost entirely middle aged or older white males.

 

[Audioboxer]

Sunderland should have been relegated instead of Newcastle.

lol.

 

[Rich!]

I voted remain, but my god the abuse being hurled out in this thread towards the leave voters is pathetic.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Fucking mackems lol

 

[Culex]

Hope all the volatility goes away. Now I have a mandatory conference call at fucking midnight. 4 1/2 hours :-(

 

[BrumGB]

No sleep, no sleep.

 

[Ruruja]

you'll feel home

YES! I've always loved the Portuguese.

 

[OverBlood 3]

I'm starting to think this polling index is a bit shit ol viney

 

[Maledict]

Don't worry guys, London's got this

London will be counterbalanced by the Home Counties and East Anglia unfortunately.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Sunderland is absolute Leave heartland. Generally poor, northern, old, high unemployment, underperforming industry.

Yup. I'm close to it and this is super true

 

[Macho Madness]

 

[JonnyDBrit]

60% leave was expected I think.

So not too far, interesting contrast with Newcastle.

 

[Bonfires Down]

It's gonna be fun watching GAF break down.

 

[RulkezX]

So what was Sunderland expected for, and how does it compare to the actual?

Sunderland was expected to be heavily leave.

People in here are just getting a little carried away with the drama.

 

[Cromwell]

Because I voted leave, of course.

Why?

 

[Jezbollah]

WOW The pound went from $1.50 to $1.44 in a minute.

 

[blastprocessor]

OUT in the lead 50.5%

Cable and Index VERY volatile.

 

[jerry113]

Some please explain to me, does the total popular vote determine the outcome? Or is it winner-takes-all by individual districts 'ala electoral votes by state in the USA?

Does total popular vote nationwide determine anything?

 

[CorrisD]

Must be weird and also annoying having to try and walk round fake holographic charts all night while pretending to actually see them.

Some please explain to me, does the total popular vote determine the outcome? Or is it winner-takes-all by individual districts 'ala electoral votes by state in the USA?

Does total popular vote nationwide determine anything?

Every vote.

 

[krioto]

sunderland can go and get fucked

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Which country are we all moving to if Leave win?

come join us in the US. We could use some smart levelheaded people who don't vote against their own interests.

 

[mrklaw]

Super early but Jeremy's graph is worrying.
Newcastle should be strong remain - was 50/50
Sunderland should be slight leave - was strong leave.

Please don't let this be a pattern..

 

[whyamihere]

Sunderland is absolute Leave heartland. Generally poor, northern, old, high unemployment, underperforming industry.

Yeah, it was predicted to go Leave. Maybe not by this much, but I'm not terrible surprised.

 

[Empty]

even if remain wins it will be so narrow as to destroy uk politics for years

 

[milanbaros]

London will save us.

Don't worry guys.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

It's a Liberal Democrat seat, remember.

Yep, Mr. Carmichael who made up that bollocks about Sturgeon preferring Cameron as PM! My point was merely that there's a lot of ex-pats there that aren't really ex-pats.

* * *

Sunderland with a thumping result for Leave.

[EDIT -

Took those Leave thickos in Sunderland until she'd read out the second number to understand

Or they might have been waiting in case there were five-figure spoiled ballots....?

Probably not!]

 

[Hazzuh]

Either way this is going down to the wire I think.

 

[Erevador]

I voted remain, but my god the abuse being hurled out in this thread towards the leave voters is pathetic.

So far this thead is much more rewarding than all of E3 in terms of NeoGaf meltdowns.

 

[Madchad]

I'm starting to think this polling index is a bit shit ol viney

Been saying for the last few days ignore the polls they are always off the mark.

 

[Broken Joystick]

can we fire Sunderland back into the sun?

 

[CrayToes]

Sunderland has already made me poorer

 

[nature boy]

BBC, this index is a bit confusing.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I was just about to go to bed, now I can't until remain take the lead again.

I'm worried now, I know it's still very very early but damn.....
