United Kingdom Referendum on European Union Membership

[Ebsy]

Someone on another forum is spreading a rumor that internal polling in clacton has it 52-48 for leave.

Another marty scoop I suppose.

[Ebsy]

[Ebsy]

Was there early voting?

There was postal voting.

Even as a Brixiter it feels a bit unreal today.

Only for a brief few days in early June did I think Leave could win when several opinion polls showed large Brexit leads.

By the weekend that had changed and continued to change during this week so I was confident that Remain would win the day in the end.

As early as the Newcastle and Sunderland results it looked promising for Leave and apart for results in Scotland and London the results were a consistent Brexit majority in most polling areas.

As Janet Daly said on Dateline London following President Obama's intervention and the subsequent negative reaction to it by British voters "history shows that the British are a resilient lot and refuse to be bullied".

Not understanding that character trait of the British people was one of the main errors of the Cameron and Osborne campaign strategy.

And so it proved last night

You really think Obama had anything do with the result?

[Ebsy]

Man some people are just plain dumb.

Hell also froze over today.

A month ago this would have been photoshopped as a satirical prediction of an absurd Brexit result.
