Most areas with high immigration vote to stay and area with low immigrant vote to leave.

Which means they could be voting for other reasons..

Tower Hamlets is reported to have had a 140% turnout, making electoral history with their postal votes.

I would not be surprised at that at all. Which will be bordering political/trust suicide, but I can totally see it.

That was what the 84-MP letter was about a few hours ago, wasn't it? Trying to dump the whole steaming mess on Cameron's lap.

I'm only joking my friend, as I said earlier before the results came. This probably wasn't a referendum to win. Things are quite bad economically no matter what happened. Someone has to take the blame for what is to come, but it would have come anyway. UKIP are probably finished, unless they replace Labour.

You are right I seen a interview on BBC from a Muslim for Britain guy and he was saying the same thing.

Looks like we are out of EU.

Exciting time ahead

On the other hand, let's hope good things can come out of this.

Whilst the pound has dropped, it will recover next week. The Euro is now finished, sell that thing fast because other countries will now leave.

Just woke up to see the BBC calling it for leave

My area seemed to favour Remain which is something I guess

FTSE futures are down 8% apparently. If that's reflected in stock market trading, then that's going to be a loss of around £500 billion (yes billion) by end of trading tonight. Much of which will come out of pension funds.

The stock market is well over priced anyway, it was always going to collapse a bit. But remember the pound is now cheaper, so watch the investments pour in from China and east Asia because they now get more bang for their buck. Exports will rise with the lower pound, more jobs.

What's more, just like after the Nominet thing with .uk, it might have been bad but now we have certainty. What we have now is a baseline, we can build on it with our eyes open.

If we in the UK could be split like this, who on earth thought of EU super state and the expansion.
If 65M are split how are going to bring 500M of different cultures and way of life together.

Gold price is already starting to drop a bit 1% lower from it's high 20 minutes ago, so markets starting to get a grip already. If people panic sell, some bargains will be had I guess just need a big pair of wrecking balls.

Are we going to have another Scottish referendum

Edwin · Jun 24, 2016

Numerous SNP MPs in the last couple of hours are already talking about parlaying the huge Remain vote in Scotland into a second referendum with the intent of keeping Scotland in the EU. Whether they can do that or not remains to be seen.

Might be worse than that to be honest because constitutionally we technically can't withdraw from the EU without their permission. I don't know how Westminster solve this because their devolved Parliaments have to agree, can't see the SNP jumping at that one.

One big mess on that front.
