EU Referendum Vote - Watch it live here

a reply to: Ohanka

I lived and worked in London, there's a lot I love about it. The multiculturalism is one of those things actually, the way you get used to hearing so many different languages every day. It's awesome.

There is also no denying that London is a honeypot for big money and big business.

For an EU referendum it is clear that London is going to lean towards remaining in the EU.

Yah?

Probably some pitiful "negotiations" that last years and years and end up with us being screwed over by the EU in every possible way for the time it has left, because Cameron has proven he can't negotiate jack#.

Still rooting for Leave though, if only for the symbolic value.

What happens next if the vote is to Leave?
Is that the final/official decision?
When would it take effect?

It'll be down to a parliamentary vote to make it law, then a few years of wrangling.


First up will be a massive party all weekend though. It'll be like VE day.

Guys if you want a bit of a laugh go check out the other thread that has been started on the economic impacts of this vote

Don't count us out just yet.

One would hope that there were no political idiocy, that the politicians worked bloody hard to make our exit the least painful exit possible. Starting with renegotiations on all trade deals as far as possible.

A lot of rumour on the internet says that this referendum is nothing more than a big poll, and that MP's can still have the final say, if they vote to stay, it doesn't matter if the leave vote wins.

If that happens, I expect riots, or at the very least a lot of very annoyed and cross people shouting at their TV's.

If we vote to leave the Government still don't have to let us leave the EU, sure it would be political suicide, but from my understanding just because the people want to leave the Government can still decide otherwise.

At least 2 years - what would happen is that the govt would enter into negotiations with the EU in terms of the new relationship. We'd be out of the EU and no longer governed by Brussels, but we'd still need to have deals in place.

Pretty much would take at least 2 years and Big Dave would have some work to do.

Wait until Birmingham push remain 400k in front

Coventry just went Leave...

ITV says a 75% probability to LEAVE win is projected

a reply to: SprocketUK

Parliament would be exceptionally foolish to vote against the will of the people on such a matter if anyone is afraid of that.

Most you'd get in opposition was some MPs from heavy remain constituencies putting up some resistance, but the majority voting the referendum way, regardless of their personal views.

It'd be electoral suicide to do otherwise, afterall.

Nearly 200k ahead for leave but still 238 places to go yet.


Might sleep for a couple hours and return with a broken heart.

A pollster on Sky is now projecting a 53% Leave vote an the basis of the results which have been announced.

Italians and Greeks are going to be dancing!

Maybe London, along with Scotland would vote for independence. There doesn't seem to be unanimity in any other regions, and they are big regions.

a reply to: Jonjonj

An Independent London you say...

Nope, can't think of any downsides for the rest of the UK

a reply to: DISRAELI

Hmmm I'd take what they say with a pinch of salt.


There's still over 230 places to get through yet.
This will be closer than a 6% lead IMO but maybe that's just me.
