Brexit "LEAVE" vote approaching a 200,000 vote lead (38% of districts reporting)

[brooklynite]

nb: British electoral districts have a HUGE range of sizes. However, in general, "LEAVE" districts are doing better than expected and "REMAIN" districts are not.

[DanTex]

1. CNN International just reported an analysis with 75% chance of leave based on current results.

2. Conservatives are morons in England too

[Aerows]

3. Anybody panicking

and spouting financial news needs to get hold of themselves, or more likely, stop cheering for what they want to have happen.

This isn't a sudden storm, this is something that has been brewing for a while.

If you didn't read the handwriting on the wall, get out of speculation.

Oh shorties.

4. It's best for the UK to leave.

They don't need to be a part of a third Greek bailout. Let Berlin handle it.

Leaving is a 3-4 year process, so there is no reason to panic.

[Aerows]

6. Berlin - the ones that got

everybody into this mess. Anyone that thought that Britain was going to just sit there and get it socked to them repeatedly is delusional.

[roamer65]

7. Bingo.

Right on target, Aerows.

[Aerows]

8. I'd bet anything that France is next.

They don't like it anymore than the UK does. Playing second fiddle to decisions that affect their nation while still having to deal with the ramifications has gotten a lot of people fed up.

5. leave is pulling away

up about 300k now

6.2 million to 5.9

9. I got my popcorn ready. The GBP is tanking.

By the end of the night the GBP/USD rate might be the lowest in decades.

10. It's a lesson for all governments

Listen to what the population wants or they will replace you.

The EU has been heavy handed in central decisions like immigration that most of their citizens did not agree with.

Either put your own citizens first, or they will find some other leaders that do.

[Generic Brad]

23. And I think this will be a bigger lesson for the citizens

They just voted for their own economic ruin. Getting what you think you want often times has an unwanted result.

11. I don't think they're reporting London yet

I'm guessing that will push "Remain" over the top, although I would most likely be voting "Leave" if I were there.

[TeddyR]

13. I believe some of London is in

But not sure how much.

By the way, why is the only US coverage of this vote I can find on Fox News, which is cheerleading for Brexit? Super annoying.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

14. The BBC site is only showing about 5000 votes in for London n/t

[TeddyR]

18. Great

Thanks

[TeddyR]

12. Not looking good for the remain folks at this point

But the impact will play out over a few years (I hope).

[flamingdem]

15. This is going against betting odds

that are usually right..

Wonder how much of London has reported, they'll be mostly Remain

[SickOfTheOnePct]

16. On the BBC site

just a tiny portion of London is reporting.

[flamingdem]

17. That will even things out and I still think Remain will win..

But it will be a nail biter.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. I think Leave, sadly, is going to win.

[Reter]

19. Good

n/t

[TeddyR]

21. Is anyone watching Fox News coverage of this vote?

I can't find any other coverage so am watching this and it is appalling. The commentators keep talking about the "elites" and how DC and Brussels and London don't understand the common man. They also think that this vote somehow helps Trump. Fuck those guys.

Anyway, the Telegraph (a Brexit fan) is reporting that Labour assumes that exit is going to win and that Cameron will resign.

[Ken Burch]

22. It's now a lead for Leave of over 450,000

with only 160 local authorities(which are the units that are counting the votes tonight)left to declare the outcome in their areas.

Not sure if there are enough possible Remain areas to make a difference.

Looks like there's a mandate for making the UK a more provincial, more suspicious, less inclusive place. Sad if that is the case.
