We don't know what's good for us in Wales.

Totally blind to the systems apparently and we'll be the first to complain about austerity in South Wales if leave were to take the victory here.

You've been infected with working class English tories. Masochist Utd

 

[fenners]

Why is the vote being held so late? Are they trying to pawn this off as entertainment to us North Americans?

The vote ended five hours ago. It takes time to count physical votes.

 

[jaxom]

I don't know what to think though. A lot of Scotland has already reported their numbers, some of London also.

I wonder if the non-reporting boroughs are expected to be more on the Leave or Remain side?

seems like the rest are more on the leave side

not going well, at all.

 

[WraithWalker1893]

Honestly this shit is far too close.

Good 'ol jack and victor! Miss them. Still, where's series 7?

 

[Aureon]

American geography knowledge detected.

Spoiler

Stroud and Exeter are both in south west England

Italian, actually.
I blame the guardian's map. Can't tell jack shit on it.
What the hell do the white lines mean anyway?

Still, then, Ceredigion first district for Remain in Wales. Wales looking bad.

Good going lads.

 

[SuperSah]

wowsa places near London voting leave

 

[QuicheFontaine]

4 million to Leave :-D

 

[Mr Git]

This is standard for our elections/votes. Voting stays open until around 10pm for those working late. Also it's on paper lol

 

[Hagi]

LOL. Aw man keep the Still Game nods coming GAF to keep spirits high in here.

It's not really as close as you think. Leave are on course for a comfortable win.

doesn't seem to be trending too comfortably but I'm ignorant to this stuff

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

could a member of UK-GAF explain why all of Scotland seems to have favored remain?

 

[Hazzuh]

I've called for civility a few times, I've just given up now. The end is in sight, one way or another.

It's gross tbh. Lots of sneering in this thread at people who have never had any opportunities in life and have been treated with contempt by every political party since the 80s at least.

 

[jem0208]

4 million to Leave :-D

That's depressing.

 

[Mr Cola]

Big wins in London are being mitigated slightly by lower turnouts, so the wins might be big but the numbers are not as high as they should be, which means if the outer england votes leave with higher turnout Londons impact becomes diminished.

 

[thatdamnmook]

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

The only bright side if this holds will be

well

John Oliver's segment on how much of a disappointing clusterfuck this is

 

[jm89]

London remain percentages looking good.

 

[HotHamWater]

fucking hell

Scotland to the rest...

 

[Usobuko]

I believe is a fair warning for us in US-GAF to go out and vote this November...

This is scary... :\

Please do the world a favor and vote.

 

[T-Rex.]

Lol. We've fucked it.

 

[Chris R]

US people, there is coverage on CSPAN from ITV if you don't want to stream stuff.

 

[RK9039]

could a member of UK-GAF explain why all of Scotland seems to have favored remain?

Because they're better than us.

 

[DirtyManos]

So as an American who just assumed Remain would win, I've been doing some quick reading on the effects of Leave.

The UK is going to have to renegotiate ALL political and trade links with the entire world within 2 years??

Aren't you guys so fucked in the long term, what leverage could the UK possibly have at that point?

 

[Meadows]

SAVE US URBAN ENGLAND

 

[DorkLord54]

could a member of UK-GAF explain why all of Scotland seems to have favored remain?

Scotland is generally more left-leaning than England.

 

[Acorn]

Serious question do we still have free movement for the two years so i can escape this tory land?

 

[Croyles]

Can people please see the leave win percentages.....they are big....I think we can all now stop saying anyone who votes leave are scum

Spoken like a true populist.

SNP stronghold and most of us give zero fucks about immigration.

 

[fenners]

could a member of UK-GAF explain why all of Scotland seems to have favored remain?

Scotland is very much in favour of EU membership, and part of the whole indyref campaign was closer ties to Europe. Scotland's typically more socialist than the rest of the UK too. Immigration largely isn't an issue in urban areas in Scotland, though there's certainly casual racism like most places, but as a 'movement', it's not as much of a political issue. Anti-English establishment views pushes the viewpoint towards Europe as a replacement.

 

[Tak3n]

I can not believe after 8 million counts have been done, there is only 16,000 in it


Well done David Cameron you have divided a nation better than a dictator could

They will, because parts of London were in complete lockdown today.

Some people in the more flooded areas wouldn't have bothered.

I have no idea why anyone would think this is a good idea. It simply doesn't make sense. It feels like a decision made on pure emotion rather than logic. Leaving is bad for everyone.

 

[Beefy]

Experts on Sky saying it looks like a 51/52% win to leave.

 

[Mrbob]

The USA stock market futures keep swinging back and forth at a feverous pace.

I would expect free movement to be ended before the end of this calendar year should Leave win.

For real

This is ridiculous

<3 Quiche!

I don't think everyone voting leave = megabastards at all. Unfortunately I think many voted leave based on misinformation and their own prejudices :|

This is going to be ridiculously close. London are going to save it or just fall short.
