Gibraltar Remain 95.9 %


Aaaaaahahaha! Good catch! I forgot about Gibraltar.

Of course they did. It's full of bankers and hedge funds for whom REMAIN is pretty much a given....

But to add insult to injury, most these guys actually rent homes in Spain because land is obviously in short supply on The Rock ;) They'd need their passport all of a sudden :D

Sunderland:

Remain: 38.66% Leave: 61.34%

Now you're talking.

Well with 5 from 382 so far, the experts opinions are suddenly changing.

The thing many are forget it's not down to who wins a region it is the total of IN vs OUT.

MP's are saying that this is a massive wake up call for the entire political class.

It needed it!!!!

Now saying "too early to call & leave = 50.5 Remain = 49.5

Anybody know how I can watch this live down here in Greece?

iPlayer, for example, doesn't really work (for most programs but I'll go check now just in case)

BBC iPlayer works only within the UK.
So we are stuck to "live text updates".

No, no!

They're a bit flexible when it comes to news and a few other programs.

Click on Sten's link and then click the BBC1 Live Video thumbnail.

I'm watching live now!

(At least here in Greece)

BBC estimates it will take 16.4* million votes for either side to win so I'm guessing turnout was almost 33 million votes....

*EDIT: Revised to 16.8 million now

Well, until results from Councils in the London area starts to come in, we can't really say anything.

I can say something:)
Greater London are Bremainers.
As Scotland and Northern Ireland.
I dont know about Wales, but I think they vote like England.

Yeah, and one thing is clear. If Leave win, I'm going to drink myself silly tomorrow :-)

Tomorrow?
It's already midsummer "evening" now.

Nailbiter indeed!

Looks like REMAIN could edge forward any second!

Edit: didn't even get to post! :D

Remain ahead right now.

Now they start to speak about the Sterling that now is falling.
There are not so much traders at this time but they seems very nervous.
And so am I. I have some money invested in the UK.
If it will be Brexit then I am looser.
At very least for some years when Britain are restoring their economy from the fall.

Over 3 million votes for each side and pretty much 50-50!

Edit: Why is Liverpool Remain? What am I missing?

Now I see that results from districts of Greater London are coming in.
They are all Bremainers of course.
Still missing Sussex districts though I bet there are Bremainers as well.

Funny, the only districts I have been to in England are Bremainers.
Hounslow just counted and wants to remain:)

Now Nigel, the Brexiteer, having a victory speech...

Very well done U.K.

Yes, threw away 10% of the value of the UK so far. Wait till the markets open in the morning and the USD is worth more than a pound sterling. Hope your money was in Euros!
