EU Referendum Results Thread | Leave have won, Cameron resigns

[Smores]

Because if its Leave then there is going to be mass uncertainty over the several years it takes to negotiate seperation. The economy is already shaky in the aftermath of a weak recovery from the last financial crisis, and this would almost certainly cause it to crash frighteningly hard.

The economy and most sectors have finally been improving and well I completely disagree on it crashing hard completely. Uncertainty doesn't automatically turn into recession it causes volatility. Even the devaluation if the currency may see some benefit.

This Leave = Immediate economic ruin is nonsense. There's a good chance it will long term but people shouldn't just be repeating this line as absolute certainty

@Damien doing a great job of the OP.

Thanks.

 

[Hammerfell]

Swindon not looking very good.

The results aren't either.

 

[HabeasC]

Looks like the turnout in Glasgow was very low (about 56%).

Does anyone know what the prediction was for Glasgow?

 

[Kasper]

Why did Sunderland vote so different than Newcastle? I thought those two are like twins (who just hate each other)?

 

[esmufc07]

Thanks.

You have to stay up all night though, you can't be going to bed halfway through.

 

[Damien]

As said by others, I think we're all watching the same programme.

For people who are asleep and want to go through thread for whatever reason when they're waking up. Gives context for what we're reacting to and stuff.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

Swindon is a dump, it's obviously full of idiots too.

wow man..... don't be so insulting to people just because they disagree with you

 

[Adisa]

Was expected so easier to take.

 

[ThierryHenry]

Scotland and London seeing lower turnout than anticipated. This is absolutely awful.

Drinks for everyone

 

[littlepeasoup]

That bloke is slowly going to have his credibility eroded over the course of the night isn't he?

I doubt I'll be getting any sleep with the way things are going.

 

[esmufc07]

That Sunderland's woman face when everyone started cheering

There's always an evil twin.

Remain's worst nightmare.

Lots of whinging about the English and then a piss-up?

 

[Dante]

Idiots treating a momentous referendum as a protest vote. Twats.

 

[JPRouve]

Yay, we can cause a global recession and not just a UK one. We're still relevant.

The yen and gold rose, you are just creating your own recession. I don't think that it will last though, fortunately.

 

[Manny]

But this is the wrong time to stomp your foot on the floor and have a huff. It's not like a GE when you can fix the mistake 4 years on. If we do leave the EU it will have a lasting effect on the country.

I honestly don't think people understand the importance of this result. They see it as a chance to stick two fingers up to Cameron and the Government.

This.

Completely the wrong time to make a point. This goes beyond letting the government know you are unhappy. It just makes everyones life (particularly the working class) that much harder.

 

[Adisa]

Turnout in London also low. This is a nightmare.
Can't see how Remain is winning this.

I don't disagree that it's the wrong time to stamp your feet but it's the fault of the government who should have forseen this. Promise a referendum then proceed to upset and ostracise large parts of the country through cuts. Then when referendum time beg and plead those same people to have faith and trust in what you say and side with you.

SNP must be rubbing their hands right now, and fair play to them. No Scot wants to live in Farage-land.

 

[Amethyst]

Thanks.

Yep, well done Damo. Might give it a couple more hours myself, have to be on a train at just past 8am tomorrow.

 

[endless_wheelies]

Boy oh boy.

Surely there should be a revote if freak flooding is the kicker for this?

 

[Mockney]

Found it hard to judge that one. Given in the Scots ref the 'shy vote' was the status quo.

Not an oddity at all when you consider "stay" was arguably the unfashionable vote in that instance. Shy-ism isn't ideological, it's more a fear of sticking your neck out by voicing a view that you know is potentially controversial.

 

[Cheesy]

They won't be though, because they do think living in the EU is good for us and being taken out of it is massively damaging. A Yes vote is still far from guaranteed and we'd have to live outside the EU in the meantime. Getting back in would be far, far more difficult.

 

[Spark]

This is savage. I can't sleep and tomorrow is going to be the most depressing day ever.

 

[TheNewEra]

Leave is going to win.

Wow.

Most northern areas being working class will vote leave, London turn out due to flooding makes this very difficult...

If the UK leaves I'm fueling myself to educate myself hard over the next 12 months to leave the UK, I don't like what this country has become, already focusing on a career but I just don't understand what people are voting for.

 

[ThierryHenry]

I agree with Campbell, but his arguments are coming across horribly here. You can't argue at this hour that there shouldn't have been a referendum.

Just trying to put a positive spin on things, possibility of leaving is killing me on the inside.

Who would have expected the Tories to cut public spending?! Not like them at all.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Campbell is a cnut.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

wow man..... don't be so insulting to people just because they disagree with you

If people are doing something you think is idiotic then they are idiots in your opinion.

 

[Silva]

Anyone else brushing the dust off their German language books?

Deep down the SNP will be glad, IMO, because it's the perfect excuse to push for independence. Ultimately though there's far too many unionists in this country to ever push it through.

Stay will win with two goals in Fergie time!

Here's Lindsay Lohan

 

[Berbaclass]

Big leave win in Middlesbrough as expected really

How does one judge what is controversial?
