    Right I have to force myself to go to bed, going to dread waking up and checking to see which has won. Please let remain win

    Mcr will most probably be in also, but more so by about 5% would be my guess(not entirely sure how the boundaries are exactly split in Mcr now)

    Once areas like Kent and the Tory stronghold votes come in leave will increase dramatically but I can see remain winning by 2~3% overall.

    Wrong.

    France, Greece and the UK knew about the Greece mess, Belgium and the Netherlands found irregularities in the Greek finances and asked for an investigation, which the 3 biggest EU countries veto'd, due to recent investments into Greece. Them not entering the EU would have made those investments worthless. Though I'm fairly sure nobody in the EU expected it would be this bad, so essentially your country was equally as responsible as France and Germany for the Greek fiasco.

    Not to mention, the UK gets money too. You obviously don't get back what you put in, there's a few countries that do, but they are small economies, and they couldn't possibly finance the entire system. Not to mention, the EU attracts global investments.

    The UK received 650 billion foreign investments because of the EU in the last 10 years. Now take standard taxes on that, that means the government itself earned around 180 billion of that in taxes. Let's say the EU costs 18 billion euros per year (the highest UK contribution) then it would already break even, and this does not include the average of 5 to 7 billion euros they get back from the EU every year.

    Wouldn't it make more sense if Scotland is a majority of the reason for us staying, that they go for independence and join the EU themselves while the rest of the UK leave?

    With fraud proven to have happened before and the stakes this high, why wouldn't anyone?

    "Castle Point". That is an awesome sounding place to live. I bet it's full of old people though.

    Everyone here is saying remain will win. I don't know.

    If UK votes leave, I wouldn't put a new Scotland referendum past the realm of possibility. WOuld be hilarious to see Scotland voting to remain in the UK, Uk wanting to leave the EU, Scotland voting to leave the UK and then joining EU :P

    That's exactly what polarization is not, diversity of opinion means to have several different points of view, not just 2 extrem points of view that are polar from each other. polarization has nothing to do with balance.

    Guys, its a leave, #leave won
    Remain has exhausted all of their big gun areas and cities, down south all votes will be LEAVE , outside London.
    So, my guess is a 56% leave at the end
    Scotland voted , but wont be enough ( not alot of population there)
    Apply for visa, sell ur pounds...
    Sadly, tomorrow mornign the rx 480 will be 10% more expensive for UK citizens becaus pound is crashing BADLY

    Scotland won't rejoin the EU. The EU will find a way around it to say Scotland never left in this way.

    None of them is reaching 56%. It will be difference of 1-2 percent at most.

    There are a LOT of London votes to come. And surprises popping up here and there - don't think Manchester has been counted yet either.

    They'll have to formally join, but I'm sure the EU will make it a speedy join process and it will be fun to spite the UK.
