Quite a lot of people managed to write their own name on the ballot paper instead of inserting an x.

The University of East Anglia is running a referendum live blog. It has been crunching the numbers and, on the basis of the first five results, is forecasting a narrow win for leave.
Predicted probability of Britain remaining: 0.48

I think if its almostly 50% of the population voting either side to stay or leave. I think it would not be fair for either side. Prob a more fair system would have been if a greater majority to choose a direction. like 70/30 majority favor either vote. seem like its too close for anyside side to be screwed by the others vote. especially in this type of margin.

UK is the new Greece.
I think this brexit thing was only a bargain tool with EU.
Spain or Italy should bleuf EU too.

Snapshot from Sunderland
Anger at the EU runs high in this long-time Labour-leaning city, as its traditional businesses such as fishing and shipping have been decimated by competition overseas. Residents say the U.K. should stop sending cash to the E.U. and spend it on domestic services such as schools and health care.
Andrew Parker, a 36-year-old local taxi driver, said he thinks he U.K. should pull out of the EU. The money the U.K. provides to the union would be better spent on the national health system, he said.
"They should be spending more on our own country than giving it to other countries," he said.
But others here worried that if the U.K. left, the ripple effects could harm the city's biggest employer, Nissan Motor, which employs about 7,000 people at a giant manufacturing plant. Rachel Meadows, proprietor of Katie's Garden, a craft and tea room in downtown Sunderland, said friends who work at the Nissan car factory were worried that a leave vote could harm their jobs.
