All the "in" conservative voters know how we felt this time last year now.

 

[Ashby]

Will the UK start building up their military in opposition to Europe now?

 

[Meadows]

We will go on. And I say that as a strong Remain supporter.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Can people stop quoting that cunt's face, it's making me feel nauseous.

 

[Audioboxer]

I know people whose main decision for voting No was fear of not being accepted into the EU. I wonder how they're feeling now.

Probably still the SNPs fault somehow.

 

[dragonbane]

Honestly, as someone struggling with severe depression, this kind of thing (which could impact me greatly) could be it. I don't know even know what to do.

I absolutely love your DF videos and really appreciate your work and I'm sure many others do as well. Whatever happens you will pull through <3

 

[rodvik]

How do we, the USA, feel about this? Does it even effect us in any way?

You lose the biggest pro USA voice in the EU leadership and Putin is mildly strengthened. Beyond that not much.

 

[Psychotext]

The worst part will be seeing his smug little face tomorrow morning.

I would genuinely give five figures to charity for three rounds in a boxing ring with him.

 

[jellies_two]

If the pound is dropping now, it'll be catastrophic if it's a confirmed leave. Fuck me.

That isn't really how things work. It will find its bottom before the result is known for sure, then adjust upwards tomorrow.

 

[SaviourMK2]

The worst part will be seeing his smug little face tomorrow morning.

Is he your British Donald Trump?

 

[Rich!]

This is insanely close. That spreadsheet someone linked a while back was fucking amazing. I'm still pretty positive that remain will prevail though.

Yeah no. It's not close. Leave will win - they're too far ahead now and remain hasn't got the pull in the remaining areas. Labour have already called it. Sorry.

 

[cremino]

I will sincerely laugh if the americans top this by voting in trump. I will laugh so hard and then cry in bitter tears

Trump has a disapproval rate of 70 % and way less campaign money than Clinton

 

[SuperSah]

Jesus, that poor BBC woman is done.

She needs to go to bed.

 

[thatdamnmook]

god bless edinburgh

 

[Moosichu]

I am honestly proud of my fellow peeps in the UK. I was a leave voter but I was fully expecting remain to win. I honestly did not think this country had any fucking balls left to vote for leave. I am so glad they have found the balls to do this.

On another note god I would love to see Davey Camerons fucking face right now.

David Cameron is probably fine. This was never about him. His reputation will be tarnished internationally, but he still ultimately doesn't really care which way the referendum goes.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Leave is up almost 400K any people living in Britain know where can Remain Catch up 400K votes?

 

[Danny 117]

Holy shit I can't believe this is actually happening. I'll go play a game of Halo Wars 2 and come back and hope that Remain is back in it.

 

[Liberty4all]

Trump comparisons are completely valid. You have a bunch of 1 foot in the grave types longing for the good old days of the British Empire when England kept its foot on the throat of all those pesky brown people.

You have polls showing large numbers of support for leave come from people who did not even finish school etc.,

Leave Campaign is 100% the typical Racist Republican style campaign of the US

This is about nationalism and border protectionism. Which I believe is the same with Trumps campaign. The difference being that the demographics in the UK still favour the nationalist side of the equation.

Is Nationalism/isolationalism inherently racist? I believe many feel it is and many feel it is not which is why this is so close a race.

 

[Gallbaro]

You lose the biggest pro USA voice in the EU leadership and Putin is mildly strengthened. Beyond that not much.

Contrary, UK is not closer in reliance to the US.

 

[Nielm]

This is a fuckin' rollercoaster right now

 

[Alienous]

The worst part will be seeing his smug little face tomorrow morning.

God dammit.

 

[thenameDS]

You might should just drink till you pass out and wake up in the morning and try to forget.

I now wish I went out for my friends birthday would have been drunk sleeping by now. But I've had the flu for the last few days and stayed home sober.

What would it mean if you left? I'm just learning about all of this in the last few hours.

For me is the uncertainty, as a new graduate soon to start job hunting it worries me. But immediately there probably wouldn't be much of a difference for the majority. Apart from the Pound Sterling taking a huge nose dive, which for my parents is awful since they send a massive amount of their savings to Portugal as they will be returning there when they retire/sell the business.

 

[Hazzuh]

We will go on. And I say that as a strong Remain supporter.

Return supporter now I guess.

 

[darkwing]

This is insanely close. That spreadsheet someone linked a while back was fucking amazing. I'm still pretty positive that remain will prevail though.

eh have you seen the delta? it's going for Leave

 

[jufonuk]

I can stay awake . If we are our we are out. Please don't burn out bridges. Hope the EU is gentle with us.

No racial tension I hope.
.

 

[Tregard]

The amount of areas in Northern Ireland that voted Leave is fucking baffling. NI will get utterly shafted without the EU, it's so confusing.

 

[Faustek]

You can book cheap UK trips soon. Maybe.

€55 now. No hotel or anything. Just a ticket there and return if you don't mind monkey class.

 

[Tak3n]

Leave from 11/1. Now 1/5 hugggggeeeee swing

 

[Aureon]

Lead to 400k
GBP about to touch a 50-year low.

 

[napalmjam]

I honestly thought Aberdeen and Edinburgh would exit . Well done =)

 

[Carl]

Leave is up almost 400K any people living in Britain know where can Remain Catch up 400K votes?

Uh they'll struggle, put it that way

 

[Makabe]

That isn't really how things work. It will find its bottom before the result is known for sure, then adjust upwards tomorrow.

Unlikely as uncertainty concerning the UK economy, future of banks, jobs, big business will not be known. It may stabilise slightly, but it'll continue lower until things are sorted out for sure.

 

[RK9039]

I can stay awake . If we are our we are out. Please don't burn out bridges. Hope the EU is gentle with us.

No racial tension I hope.
.

EU is going to make an example out of us.

 

[Mr Cola]

Leave is up almost 400K any people living in Britain know where can Remain Catch up 400K votes?

They need turnout in London to be higher, Cardiff to go big, and to pick up some coastal victories.

It really doesnt look good.

 

[HK-47]

Will probably trigger a tumble in the global stock market, so that's not so good.

British politicians will be harping on our 'special relationship' again.

If it triggers more EU defections, it could be really bad news, at least in the short term.

It will embolden right-wing nationalist Trump supporters.

If the UK economy tanks, Hillary might try and connect Trump with Brexit to show how bad it would be.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Looking on the bright side this is a great night for our friend Mr Putin, really heart-warming.

 

[Kenshin001]

Kind of shocked to be honest. Thought it was a certainty the UK would stay in the EU. I wonder what the biggest factor was for pushing people away?

 

[VendettaRed07]

Thank you!!! The panic here is ridiculous.

Singapore, Norway Switzerland and many other countries are not in the EU and have some of the best living standards.

I think the panic is appropriate

It's not so much that people panicking think everyone is going to die. But it's a completely and totally unnecessary self inflicted wound. Any recession or hardship coming forward even if it you work through it could have been easily avoided.

 

[Mr Git]

You think Persona 5 is going to come out in Europe?

Nope. I'll be importing it from the states. Hence my post

 

[MassiveNights]

Scotland!

 

[2MF]

I can stay awake . If we are our we are out. Please don't burn out bridges. Hope the EU is gentle with us.

No racial tension I hope.
.

And if the EU is bad to the UK because of this, honestly it proves the UK did the right decision. Like an abusive ex partner torturing their obsession. Best to rip-off the bandaid.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The amount of areas in Northern Ireland that voted Leave is fucking baffling. NI will get utterly shafted without the EU, it's so confusing.

A lot of votes apparently weren't based in logic.

 

[A Human Becoming]

So 2016 is the year nationalism took over the UK.

 

[Baybars]

Trump has a disapproval rate of 70 % and way less campaign money than Clinton

The remain campaign were pretty confident a year ago. Look at them today. Never discount the power of racial politics

 

[Geminosity]

Meh, I'm used to being the minority in Edinburgh when it comes to voting it seems. I voted leave for scotland too and Edinburgh voted majority stay. At least it's consistent I guess

 

[Gandalf]

Lead nearly 400k now. Ouch.

 

[mulac]

I'm stunned at the overwhelming Scottish votes to REMAIN.

 

[Tak3n]

400,000 lead, can London catch that?

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Lead to 400k
GBP about to touch a 50-year low.

My fucking life is over isn't it? I'm barely getting by anyway.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Edinburgh
Leave: 64,498
Remain: 187,796

Total: 252,481
Turnout: 73%

Capital kicking in another 123.3k for Remain.
