1. Boy, do I hope you're right.

This affects me personally, financially, and on a moral level of not wanting to living in a country with a bunch of f*cking xenophobes.

Torrential rain in London today, which is not good for Remain.

7. Fingers crossed for you then, Auntpurl.

And for not letting the effing xenophobes win anything but insight.

9. I dunno man....

England is so far pretty strong for the leave position.

Could this be the end of the UK as well?

10. If "leave" wins...

quite possibly. I think, minimally, it triggers another Scotland independence referendum.

One of Scotland's complaints that led to the independence referendum was that England dominates the UK to the detriment of Scotland, NI and Wales. If they all go for "remain" and England pushes through "leave", the future unity of the UK may depend on Parliament disregarding the results of the (non-binding) referendum and refusing to take up consideration of repeal of the European Communities Act of 1972.

Alternately, it may necessitate changing the apportionment of Parliament to increase the seats of Scotland, Wales, and NI while decreasing the number of seats from England to convince the outlying (nations? states? kingdoms? members?) to stay UK.

11. John Bolton was on FOX touting Leave.

That is more than enough to make me root for Remain.

12. To be fair, London has 8M people and results not in yet.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. London should be a good Remain area...

[Adrahil]

14. Here's hoping, but man.... I dunno...

[geek tragedy]

17. I think so. Scotland is much more in line with the EU

than with England's political ideology. This small to be giving them a shove out the door.

[Lord Magus]

19. Ironic that the advocates for UK "independence" are causing the UK to end entirely.

Scotland is sure to secede from the UK (making it by definition no longer a "United Kingdom&quot and join the EU on its own after this.

15. DSB.. you may be wrong about this one.

The votes are strong for leave with about 5% in. It starting to look like the remain folks didnt show.. probably not as motivated as the leave voters.
