EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

[johntea]

I usually couldn't really care less for watching election results but this is electrifying so far and I can see myself staying up for the duration to watch it!

 

[Harbornite]

It must be remembered that we haven't really come to any really pro-EU areas. When it gets to London, the results should change rapidly.

Good point.

And now with a brighter outlook for leave, not only have the bookies gone to leave as a favourite, but GBP is plummeting. It's fallen below the Sunderland spike and isn't looking to slow either

The price you pay for "sovereignty", isn't it great! Hopefully we'll stay in and it will recover.

It will recover anyway. No serious economist expects it not to.

Can we have some insight into what is happening in Wales ?

Are they all in la la land with their ovine companions ? (hunters optional (green)

Wonder when Scotland becomes an independent country in the EU, they will take us in (refugees, huh!) from England and automatically give us a Scots/EU passport?

The BBC were suspecting that a lot of people are voting against the EU mostly to show discontent with the political system. But yes, Turkeys voting in favour of christmas seems to be the order of the day.

[Domh245]

It's been quite funny to see all of the people who were ready to write it off as a leave win when Lambeth came in. It's almost neck and neck again

And remain regains the lead with Glasgow's declaration.

 

[Harbornite]

Remain is now slightly ahead.

 

[Domh245]

Wandsworth in at 75% remain

What's happening in Wales indicates how ridiculous the electorate are - talk about turkeys voting for christmas....

The biggest UK beneficiaries of the EU are voting to leave

This is what I find most bizarre! I've always perceived Wales to be a disproportionately large beneficiary of EU money, without really having any great number of EU immigrants to moan about... How do they lose out from being in the EU?

It must be something to do with sheep and wellingtons

Interesting that with the exception of a few such as Glasgow, most "pauper areas" are voting to leave and more affluent ones to stay in.

What can we read into this ?

 

[Strathclyder]

Moray vote remain.

With Remain gaining 50.1% and Leave gaining 49.9%. One of the closest results so far...

I hope at least one of our areas votes to leave or we are going to lack credibility up here.

Only 8 left to do so though.

Borders probably the favourite ?

Labour may have cost Remain this Election - out of touch with the views of those they claim to represent.

[All Line Rover]

Milton Keynes, Crawley, Sevenoaks, Lichfield, Ashford etc. all voting for leave (some by substantial margins). By now I'm expecting the overall result to be in favour of leave.

Scotland, on the other hand, is on course to be unanimously in favour of remain.

The Wirral - remain - surprised me.

[Butts]

Borders votes remain 58.5%

Indeed Moray as mentioned previously the closest Brexit came. Suspect D&G will just scrape into the remain camp.

However I ask you why not a single MSP has come out in favour of Brexit despite about a third of voters up here being in favour,

 

[Domh245]

And the pound hovering about the $1.40 mark and looking like it'll drop through shortly. I make that a 7% or so drop. Not good.

 

[Rich McLean]

If we leave, I think the pound could get to around $1.01
