I think leave will take it by under 10,000 votes.

You are on the ground there and thus much closer to the action so I'll have to take your word for it.

Just for the record, if I could vote it would be to get the hell out!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Immigration is the issue.  Just like the US....

Reminds me of Thatcher to Reagan..

Exactly.  You are getting the hang of it.  Like the swing counties in FLA and Ohio . 

Leave is clearly out performing in key districts...

Our chief political correspondent Christopher Hope has this update.

Tomorrow will be a meltdown for the Prime Minister. A narrow win and he is in trouble. A Brexit and he can't last. One former Tory Cabinet minister tells me: "Cameron is toast."


Fine by me....

Probability of a Remain win? 'Zero'

The experts at the University of East Anglia have just posted another update to their forecasts.

Chris Hanretty, reader in politics, writes on his blog:

    My predictions continue to be much more pessimistic for Remain than the betting markets, though they seem to be in between estimates from Michael Thrasher and JP Morgan.

        Predicted probability of Britain Remaining: 0
        (81 of 382 areas reporting.)

Leave

5,082,616 Votes


Remain

4,947,699 Votes


The Midlands are starting to trickle in now. Only 2 London boroughs so far in (both for remain) - and London has a huge impact, since a sixth of the total population live here.

Looks like London might help the remain faction.

This should be interesting. If the UK leaves the EU there will be more pain than some are willing to admit, but in the long run I think it's fitting because the UK never was "continental" and the EU is predominantly "continental."

Well the problem with the EU is this, they have never been European.. For us we have been American..  They never had a sense of unity.. Not since the Roman Empire..

Interestingly, history shows us that in recent times events in England, like this vote, foreshadow events in America.

When the British voted for Margaret Thatcher, Americans mirrored a vote for Ronald Reagan. When Englanders voted Labour Party, Americans embraced Bill Clinton and the democrats. This pattern has remained remarkably true for many decades.

A leave win would be a good sign for Trump’s America First campaign in November.

Yes.  And the key issue is the same, immigration and its impacts on the economy and security.

Labour now assume Leave win

Labour is now working on the assumption that Leave is going to win, a party source has told The Guardian.

The newspaper reports that Labour HQ is weighing up whether Jeremy Corbyn should call for David Cameron's resignation in the event of a Brexit, but senior figures are reportedly saying the move "may prove unnecessary" as Mr Cameron may resign anyway.
