As an aside from the wailing and gnashing of teeth, I do like how The Guardian's results graphic looks like a Dwarf Fortress tileset, and The Times' results graphic council graphic looks like a hexagonal wargame.

Too soon?
Please don't get me started.
Now I want to punch my monitor.
 
People accusing all exit votes of being racist is depressing. It's sad to see people poisoned by collectivist thinking... it makes me wonder if it's the natural human mindset to jump to simplistic 'us' vs 'them' attitudes like that, which is ironic considering that's likely the main source of things like racism ¬.¬

the running vote count is irrelevant for a few hours

it's how each area is performing relative to computer model expectations that matters.

and that is pointing almost completely to a significant leave win

Most probably haven't a clue, but that tells you how good the Remain message has been.
Large numbers of people just don't want to hear the message anyway.
You could stand outside their door with a loudspeaker blaring it out for months and they still wouldn't hear it.

My own mother tore up any leaflet that said remain on it as soon as it came through the door, without even bothering to read it. She similarly changed the channel any time a politician saying anything remain-y came on and gotso pissed off at outsiders, experts, and rich people proclaiming their support for remain that it was as if they were setting fire to puppies infront of her.
You guys are gonna trigger a global recession right as I graduate out of uni, oh great, thanks a whoole lot UK....
I pity you if it happens. I graduated as the last recession hit. It sends everything to shit.

That is true. You can also use this as fuel

Sometimes I wonder if the conspiracy nuts aren't right when they preach how soda/candy/fastfood/whatever-junk isn't hired by the Government to make the people stupid so it'll be easier to control us.
You laugh, but there were seriously people arguing with the folks handing out our papers about whether or not they were allowed to use pens instead of the supplied pencils because they thought their votes were going to be invalidated or defrauded by people erasing all the little pencil crosses.
(I didn't hear any mentions of MI5 though).
 
Nah. Trump's support for Leave will be repeated ad nauseam if it tanks the world economy.

And he'll just spin it so that Obama/Hillary is responsible for the tanking of the economy instead of the Brexit and America will buy it hook, line and sinker since most of us don't even know that this shit even can affect our economy.

The politicians in Europe best take note of tonight. There are going to have to be serious changes moving forward.

They might not make concessions to UK, whether they leave or stay. That seems like political suicide in many countries. But as you say, changes have to be made. What changes? Who knows.
 
From what I can gather...

UK's left wing sticks head in sand and denies real problems related to immigration and integration.

This pushes moderates concerned about their safety into the hands of extreme nationalists who threaten the global economy.

UK's left wing, rather than reforming policies on immigration and admitting areas where they fucked up, will once again stick their head in the sand and just call their opponents' racists.

Is this about right?

Lol yup. Zero self reflection on why seemingly no one can stand them or their policies.

I mean this is nothing new in Europe. Far right parties and racism have become incredibly popular all across Europe.

Politicians have been taking notes for years. They're just adopting the same hateful racist rhetoric and dog whistles as the far right

Worth repeating.
The running vote is entirely a result of the somewhat random order districts report in, it is meaningless now.
