It's the bloody Scottish that could really if they were clever enough could fuck us right over, they vote leave so they can then split off from Britain.

If Scotland votes leave they guck themselves, there'll be no precedent for another indyref

 

[owasog]

Wow the GBP is crashing.

You reap what you sow Britain, you reap what you sow. Ordering stuff from the UK will be very cheap for the foreseeable future. Thanks!

 

[Delusibeta]

This seems pretty... unethical?

Not really. I wouldn't be too surprised if a large number of US based companies would switch their EU HQ to the Republic of Ireland or Germany in the next couple of years should Leave win tonight.

 

[Geminosity]

I didn't want to convince you you're wrong, I wanted to take the piss out of your conspiracy theories.

Oh, I wasn't aware that "they're a bit too zealous with bureacracy" was a conspiracy
Feel free to continue then :3

I am university educated and have an above average IQ, I believe immigration is important, I also believe it should be controlled and I am against free movement, I also feel like if we had a fairer immigration system we would thrive and a multicultural nation.

Against free movement? Against Schengen? Just why? I don't get it. I remember waiting at border checkpoints as a kid, where I drive through without even stopping nowadays.
Regions that were fought over for thousands of years. And you want to go back to secured borders? Why?

Looking about 70/30 for remain here in East Dunbartonshire. Pal at the count in West Dunbartonshire says its about 60/40 remain over there.

That would be slightly higher for Remain than YouGov's map.

[TheRealTalker]

National pride is great and all but eventually humanity needs to realize that we are stuck on this planet together and need to create union.

Union doesn't mean we need to give up are uniqueness, unity doesn't mean that there won't be a time that we are in hardships or a time we let our emotions run amok; neither does it mean that some people will rise into power that are corrupt but what unity means is that when such problem arises we use unity to reclaim correctness since division will just at most create opposing decisions.

Instead of also getting angry at results we also need to address why such and such happened at either sides and the collective blame from both sides that lead to such problems.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

There's like a 2 year transition period, it's not like overnight. C'mon.

If we leave, my job will be moving out of the country within three months...

There was no explicit talk of job losses, but it's understood a significant number of people in lower positions as well as the majority of interns would be let go.

 

[Pankratous]

Appreciating the regular GDP value charts guys, keep em coming.

 

[Audioboxer]

That makes absolutely no sense. According to the British attitude survey, Scotland and London are the two areas with the most in common! London is closer to Scotland in terms of people's beliefs and attitudes than it anywhere else in England.

I know, just trolling.

In the past few minutes, the odds on Remain have gone from 1.06 to 1.37 on the Exchange. The market has now traded over £74 million.

 

[Broken Joystick]

So either side wins even if it's by 1 vote?

Not legally binding, but yes

Everything's just been downhill since Nick Clegg.

Fucking Clegg, could've changed it all if he wasn't such a dipshit.

 

[Kathian]

Some Scots will vote Leave expecting everyone else to vote Remain, hoping to stop a landslide.

 

[tomtom94]

Worried that the shy Tories effect is going to help Leave rather than Remain.

 

[Delusibeta]

So either side wins even if it's by 1 vote?

Yup, and if the difference is zero votes it'll be declared a draw.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

So either side wins even if it's by 1 vote?

God bless democracy?

But seriously, why the fuck doesn't something this important require a 2/3 majority?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I woke just up because there is a storm coming.

I should not have checked my phone. Shit.

 

[Bumhead]

Word is Tristram Hunt says Sheffield is 70/30 for Leave.

Not sure whether to be surprised by that or not. In terms of the locals then it isn't, but Sheffield has a huge student population that I thought would swing it.

 

[Maledict]

Sure, but you'll have time to find new ones. Also there will be some kind of agreement with the EU on market access, even though Germany, France and the the Commission will do their best to rake the UK over the coals as much as they can.

That's...not how business works? The clients will go asap. You can't replace them instantly, and it will be much harder to replace them because we aren't in the EU.

Several people have posted that a leave result means they lose their jobs in this thread, including myself, so I don't think people should be trying to explain how they are wrong on these things.

 

[SuperSah]

God bless democracy?

But seriously, why the fuck doesn't something this important require a 2/3 majority?

Because there won't be a 2/3 majority.

 

[Baybars]

I am planning to leave england within couple of years anyway. Thank God my future won't be decided by folks who are at risk of imminent death anyways

 

[El-Suave]

Watching BBC World and the coverage seems a bit like "my first election" by the hosts compared to coverage of our elections here in Germany by German TV. Granted, this poll is special, but still...

 

[Broken Joystick]

Just for reference

5 days ago, the Pound was at 1.4486.

The pound is now at 1.4530.

I think that most shy Tories will do what their PM tells them to do..

 

[Nevasleep]

I would have thought Wales would be fairly strong remain right?

You'd think, considering the grants deprived areas get from the EU....but many lower paid people are voting leave, when you would expect them to remain (being labour voters).

 

[ferrasvansen]

If Scotland votes leave they guck themselves, there'll be no precedent for another indyref

Thing is, Scotland was told by the No campaign that only way to stay in EU was to vote no, this means that one of the cornerstones of the no campaign was false. There will be huge repercussions over this now.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Ive gone through 7 stages of denial about 500 times in the past 5 minutes.

I basically look lke im chewing a giant toffee.

Dear UK.

You know how you feel about us maybe electing Donald Trump? That's how we feel about you maybe leaving the EU.

[milanbaros]

If there is one thing I've learned by living in this country 28 years. It is that Lodnon is more educated, higher earning, richer, and will make sure UK votes remain.

 

[AGoodODST]

That would be slightly higher for Remain than YouGov's map.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamesball/...ferendum-night?utm_term=.xs33lpmKd#.kmM2wNYzd

Could change right enough, just the picture so far.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

It's mental, but The Sun is one of the most popular newspapers in Britain, so in the end it shouldn't be a huge surprise sadly.

Murdoch has so much power around the world it's sad.

 

[Mr Swine]

How many hours is it left before we know which side has won?

 

[kavanf1]

There is no need to be upset. There will always be a job at Asda or Tesco for you sunshine.

I think I replied to you earlier about what I'd do in the event of a leave result.

My mum's best mate is a manager at JP Morgan. Apparently her bosses came down for meetings a week ago and basically told them to vote to remain and hope everyone does the same for the sake of their jobs.

Not sure if that's a common thing recently in the banking sector

If we leave, my job will be moving out of the country within three months...

There was no explicit talk of job losses, but it's understood a significant number of people in lower positions as well as the majority of interns would be let go.

Yes this is a common view across the financial services sector. If Leave wins we can expect jobs to start leaving the UK first thing tomorrow.

 

[jm89]

You'd think, considering the grants deprived areas get from the EU....but many lower paid people are voting leave, when you would expect them to remain (being labour voters).

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

 

[Ruruja]

Dreading seeing my town's (Burnley) results come in.

Can see it being like 80% leave.

Though I'm just going off Facebook and what I've seen around town.

 

[DECK'ARD]

This is going to be a long night.

 

[Moozo]

Wolverhampton turnout not looking like it'll be very high - good for Remain

 

[Moosichu]

Sheffield has broken up for the summer though... keep that in mind.

they should've put that on the side of the bus. It would've gone down great.

Forget the damage the germany and france would do to the UK. You're forgetting asian multinational companies who would take their investments and jobs elsewhere.


I cannot believe people would be sabotaging themselves in this country
