[suedester]

Haha, I'm not surprised at all. But it's still incredibly frustrating.

Spoiler

I'm from Burnley.

Hahaha. My wife is from Burnley! I feel the pain.

 

[SuperSah]

Leave is creeeeeeeeeping in again!

Only 80 declared. 302 to go.

[rodvik]

You got a source? As that is huge for leave as it is a big metropolitan city

The second biggest city in the UK. Yeah its a big deal. Too close to call would be a big blow for Remain.

 

[Hazzuh]

Good for remain that most of the North East is done.

 

[Freezie KO]

Exactly.

On a macro level it remain might seem appealing.

Yet people especially in certain rural areas look around in a micro sense and go wtf has this done for me or my local community?

Thread is moving fast so thanks for the clarification.

 

[Cromwell]

Remain by only 92 thousand votes right now.

 

[El Topo]

Nope.

I don't think anyone is prepared for that.

 

[Hagi]

Does Scotland want to leave the EU?

 

[CorrisD]

Seems like the welsh remain side is relying on Cardiff to not show us up.

 

[Geminosity]

I don't get it...doesn't the UK always score like top 5 or 10 in those happiness or "good" country ratings....

I swear you'd think the fucking world was falling apart and there were roaming gangs from hell with how you heard the discussion.

Haven't really kept up with this, always thought Remain would win out easily. Is there even a "Leave" plan after it wins??

Probably not, there's a 2 year negotiation period before we're allowed to leave anyhoo, so making detailed plans before then wouldn't really be worthwhile, but I'm hoping they have a vague skeleton of a plan worked out so they've got something to take to negotiations in the unlikely event leave wins.

 

[RK9039]

Wales ffs.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Scotland really should have left.

Then the RofUK definitely would have left the EU!

Holy shit Glasgow 67% never saw that coming.

67 is a resonant number for one half of the city

If Scotland leave can they take London with them.

Makes sense; they take all our money anyway

They overwhelming voted no in the independence vote by massive margins. not sure if that indicates whether they'll vote stay or leave though

Financial centre of Scotland + huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge tourism during the various festivals and Hogmanay...I'd be surprised at a Leave vote.

But who knows what the margin will be...

 

[Pancake Mix]

Scotland wants to Remain in the EU.

England could be on its way to Leave the EU.

How can the union continue? Scotland needs to go it alone and apply to join the EU.

Scotland voted decisively to stay in the United Kingdom...so no.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Scottish news just said no. 100% remain so far.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

NW England letting me down right now.

 

[Jezbollah]

North Lanarkshire = Remain, margin: 40K!

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Getting trump ads now.

 

[Kyoufu]

I've lived in England for 25 years and I've never heard of most of these places. lol

 

[2MF]

Is there even a "Leave" plan after it wins??

World War 3, higher taxes, inflation, no trading with anyone for 10 years, and more.

 

[Audioboxer]

Does Scotland want to leave the EU?

lol.

Still Game. Proof us Scots rock.

 

[BadHand]

Projections for 53.15% leave,. 46.86% remain

https://twitter.com/davidottewell/status/746156524800778241

 

[More Fun To Compute]

If it's close, surely the UK wouldn't dare go through and leave?

We actually expect democracy to carried out in the UK. If this passes then there will be a leadership crisis possibly even a general election.

 

[scarybore]

North Ayrshire 56.9% remain, so reasonably happy with my lot. If it is a leave result, it's gonna be such a clusterfuck up here, and considering it will be a complete clusterfuck elsewhere in the UK as well, that's a terrifying prospect.

 

[maquiladora]

The EU hostile to democracy and referenda? What a surprise!

And if Trump were to be elected president of the US would that be some great victory for "democracy" too? Or would it be a victory for a campaign of fear, xenophobia and hate mongering?

I've never encountered hostility in any of the European Parliament elections that I voted in by the way.

 

[SuperSah]

I've lived in England for 25 years and I've never heard of most of these places. lol

Yup, me neither. Lived here all of my 20 years and still heard of like 1/10th of em

 

[TheHollowNight]

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US MR CRAB.

 

[ampere]

I am shocked it's so close

This is madness. Why are people directly voting for something so important x.x

 

[DECK'ARD]

What is Wales playing at.

 

[Tak3n]

Omg peterbough large Asian community there....surprised at a leave vote

 

[fenners]

lol.

Still Game. Proof us Scots rock.

On Netflix streaming over here in the States now!

 

[Izuna]

Being brown wouldn't actually be a problem. Don't come up north because you sound like an arrogant, presumptive arsehole.

Whoa hold on now

I'm saying this because spent my teenage years in Manchester and my facebook feed has a significant amount of xenophobic posts. But I am anything but arrogant, I was half joking -- I get weird looks even in London when I say I'm English. I know what that's like up north.

"Where are your parents from." is the most common thing new people say to me and I get weirder looks when I say "English."

So while I regret that you took my comment as completely serious, there is a little truth in it.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

NW England letting me down right now.

I know.

 

[Lkr]

Why does it take so long to count? Didn't polls close hours ago?

 

[SDR-UK]

What is Wales playing at.

I'm sorry on behalf of us in Wales.

 

[VendettaRed07]

What is Wales playing at.

Unlike Scotland,

The Euro

 

[jem0208]

I'm sorry on behalf of us in Wales.

I too am sorry.

 

[haxamin]

Omg peterbough large Asian community there....surprised at a leave vote

...maybe they voted leave?

 

[Acorn]

Scotland voted decisively to stay in the United Kingdom...so no.

We never voted to be dragged out the eu by bigots so yes.

 

[Madchad]

Unlike Scotland,

The Euro

lold

 

[Gandalf]

Big result for Wigan. Remain lead down to 30k. This ride man... this ride.

 

[SuperSah]

Peterborough was a good win for leave

 

[tomtom94]

Crabb is already pandering to Leave supporters, spineless coward.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Fucking Wigan.

Can't play rugby can't vote either.

 

[Kyoufu]

lol.

Still Game. Proof us Scots rock.

Wales should be replaced by Scotland in the Championship tbh.

 

[Hazzuh]

Gross seeing Conservatives putting more effort in to circling the cart around Cameron rather than trying to show any sympathy or understanding for the average voter.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Wigan - Leave.

 

[Audioboxer]

On Netflix streaming over here in the States now!

Really?! Fucking awesome. Never thought something like it would make it to the States.

America GAF please watch Still Game to understand Scotland.

 

[Jezbollah]

Why does it take so long to count? Didn't polls close hours ago?

Because there are 35 million ballot papers to count by hand.

 

[Cromwell]

If it comes down to the wire Cameron isn't going to fuck around with his job on the line.
