I agree with you. Generalisations on here are sweeping.

What Dante said!FFS, you're our polls guru.
I was actually just going to offer that thing as a straw to clutch - could very easily be a geographical thing. Turnout is below 70% there too and London was supposed to be riding over 80% in places like Westminster and the City.
Predicted 59-41 I think.
Yep, she's Welsh.
Still a way to go, but if the GE was swayed by an invisible cabal of Shy Tories, then the poll-proof influence of stealth Brexiters was always a high possibility.
Should never have let stupid people vote on something as massive as this.
I have a scared girl from London messaging on me on Facebook basically saying 'we couldn't vote! - we're fecked'.
Yeah, I was going to try and expand on that a little bit, but I was struggling to properly articulate. I find it so difficult for career politicians with little to nothing lose from a financial standpoint to ask the poorest of us to follow them over the precipice and vote out.

Found it hard to judge that one. Given in the Scots ref the 'shy vote' was the status quo.
Quote just seen on my facebook (from a not very bright Brexiter), in reply to the DM's first update after the Gibralter vote:
Yep.

As bad as that sounds for democracy but I agree. I feel so many people are misinformed in this one.
I don't know how Switzerland deals with having so many referendums a year.
Reading one analysis piece saying that leave campaign successfully (maybe) turned the campaign into a view of if you vote stay you are voting with the elites? So a they played on the class divide is that true?
Nah she'll still accept cash.
40m euros for Mkhitaryan looking more and more expensive.
Lot's of excitement from just 4 results.
Woodward's in a blind panic trying to fix the fax machine as we speak.
A quarter of the number of voters in Gibraltar, I don't think there's much reason for celebration there...
Think they'll take it in Pogs?
Which makes the result from Sunderland all the more stupid.
Yep, common train of thought on stuff on social media (not best indicator of anything I know) was that stay is voting for the elites, leave means taking back control, pens are needed so votes can't be changed by the untrustworthy government they want to give control to and that grandparents didn't die in WW2 just so that we'd be in the dictatorship of the EU.
Their whole campaign was built on a range of lies to cast as wide a net as possible.
It's about the margins of the vote though.
Is the strength of the pound really relevant at this point?
My knowledge is super limited but my understanding is you buy/sell at the drop of a hat based on any market intelligence and traders are quick to do so, particularly if there's uncertainty/lack of confidence which there would be right now. It would recover, no?

If my investments are mostly foreign, and even the footsie is quite international then a fall in the pound is good. Right? Right? Where the feck are you @Jippy ?
Those were just the two I saw specifically, was thinking more that it's indicative of a large turnout boost city-wide. GE2015 turnout - 59%.
This. Almost everything I've heard from them has either been guess work at best and out right lies at worst.
I can't handle this, I'm off to bed... preparing to wake up thoroughly depressed tomorrow.
Definitely.
Polls really are a load of crap.
