    I thought I had too but since the options were changed (and more importantly the order in which they are listed), the highlighted option is no longer accurate. The totals and result graphs aren't affected though, only the highlighted option.

    Old options:

    Leave
    Stay
    Undecided/I love cats/whatever

    New options:

    In
    Out
    Shake it all about

    I voted "stay" (second option), and now "out" appears in italics.

    Well that clears things up - thanks Yadda!

    At least there's no danger of that happening in the actual ref :lol:

    No problem. It shouldn't happen in the actual voting but to make sure, do the voting thing before the pub thing. :)

    On a more serious note, exit polls and initial counts look like a fairly strong STAY vote.

    We'll see how accurate that is in the morning, fingers crossed.


    ~Edit.

    And an hour later Leave is ahead, I'm going to bed...

    Far FAR too early to call.

    I have made a gross miscalculation: I only have instant coffee. I have not planned for this evening...

    Yep looks very much like it. I'm really surprised, given how big the gap is (over 1m votes and still growing). I expected a remain majority, and a pretty comfortable one at that.

    There is absolutely no guarantee that we will actually leave the EU. I suspect that in the next two years of negotiations that the reforms that Cameron initially promised the British people he would achieve instead of the nonsense he tried to convince us were great reforms, might well be back on the table and some sort of associate membership might be offered.

    Of course if as Cameron predicted we have instead have WW3 then in or out becomes academic.

    I am just waking up to this news. WOW.

    Did we get involved in all of this stay/ leave vote purely based on the massive in flux of refugees into Europe and obviously the various high level attacks? And people got scared it would come here because of the in flux,


    Other than the migrants issue was there any other stuff going on? about this that we drew up this vote? Honest question sorry I am a little isolated about news,

    We shouldn't have gone to other country's and bombed them to pieces leaving them in an absolute dreadful state and not solid up those places allowing people to actually live there,

    I wonder what is going to happen now, Europe is losing one of its premium nations of the pack?



    Does England lose a sht ton of employment jobs now?


    We need to make the best of this people... if we are going to leave we really need to start looking out to protect England's better interests.


    Will check back to the thread if any one has any thing insightful,

    As it came down to the final couple of days, I started expecting a very close run vote, so 48/52 wasn't that much of a surprise. I did think Remain would edge it though.

    On the plus side, at least I won't lose my job over it - too late for that.

    On down side - it may make it even harder to get another one.

    I'm really enjoying how Sunderland were the start of the avalance that really effed up the financial landscape. I feel decidedly less 'well off' today, and I too am looking for a job. Wonderful.

    Bit late to the party here, but I think you may have meant to say "the UK" rather than "England".
