I was expecting a high turn out but when I went to the polling station at 8.00am I was the only one in there. I thought there would have been a lot of people dropping in on their way to work. Quite worrying really as the out voters no doubt flocked there when they dragged themselves out of bed at 10.30 before heading off to Spoons

And i was predicting a low turnout and on my 2 minute walk to the polling station I saw over a dozen people with voting cards and there were 6 more people in there.

A mate of mine has been working outside a polling station in Newport all day and said that it has looked like they are giving away free beer in there by the numbers going in. I fear that may be bad news!

I think a high turnout will work in remain's favour. Leave is dominated by older voters, who are more likely to vote anyway. A high turnout hopefully means that younger remain voters are making the effort.

Certain parallels can be drawn with the rise of Hitler's National Socialist Party and what's been happening in the UK (and US I may add).

Find someone to blame, demonise them, whip up a frenzy, blame outside interference, get the extremists running the country on false promises of caring for the needy.

Really very scary indeed in 2016 in what is supposed to be a civilised country.

Yup, apparently 1/3 of Ukippers believe MI5 is rigging the vote. Tells you a lot about these people really.

Have you seen the UKIP video of the woman handing out pens? And the PCSO? Daily Mail in meltdown about useless coppers.

Besides, it it's being rigged to ensure we remain in, surely that's Mi6's remit

Having an issue with and wanting the mechanism of UK immigration changed to Westminster control is not having an issue with the people involved.

You views are inflammatory and small minded but I'm no longer surprised by this from your posts around this site.

Anyway your post has been quoted, the tone captured and stored outside of your edit control.

The EU only has to get it wrong once more for the UK to be heading for Brexit. I don't fancy their chances

I'm sure he's quaking in his boots??

This tinfoil hat attitude seems quite common amongst brexit fans (see the pen/pencil conspiracy theory above...)

How will the results be given? Will they be counted at constituency level and then declared as confirmed with a running total being shown or will everything just be counted and then a result given once all votes have been counted?

FT has a handy timeline - it's going to be by area with the first areas declaring just after midnight (Gibraltar and Scilly Isles).

The result could become apparent by about 3.30am but if it is very very close it could be as late as 6am.

The formal announcement will be made around breakfast time in manchester.

EU referendum night: when will the result be known? - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/35f15744-37cd ... a8ee7.html

Reporting by news organisations of exit polls or anything around campaigning is illegal while the polls are open (actually since 00:30 this morning until 22:00)

I just read about the pen and pencils stuff. How do people that dim function and survive in society? Where do they find employment? Mind-boggling.

Not this Leaver.

However I do wonder what influence the weather will have on the results with the disruption being in a strong remain area.

I think there will be a 56/44% win for remain though

joelsim

It isn't a conspiracy/rigged, it's simply because most Leave voters don't know how to spell 'X'

To be fair, one only has to read up on how it all started and you'll see it's pretty much the same.

BTW I'm not calling all Leave supporters Nazis, I'm just saying that we should've learned our lessons from allowing the demonisation of different people (especially during times of economic hardship as has been happening globally for the last 8 years). This leads to masses actually believing the rubbish that's spouted.

The same sort of thing happens around the time of the first summit finish at The Tour too.

Weather doesn't appear to have put off many by the sounds of it.

Then you need to think about the words used. You should be intelligent enough to know what mentions of Hitler infer.

When you and others accuse or link those who voted to leave with Hitler, racists, xenophobes, swivel-eyed loons, idiots, etc you are creating the exact demonisation that you say is scary. You are part of the problem.

I made the mistake of clicking #IVotedLeave on twitter, whilst there are legitimate reasons for voting Leave, the bulk of tweets are filled with utter myths. #usepens on the other hand, far more entertaining!

Bloomberg reporting 3 of today's polls at 55, 52 and 52 for Remain.

i ll eat my hat if its a IN vote (which is what i want) but my money is on an out

verylonglegs

In the last 25mins the remain odds have crashed to their lowest since the market was opened on Betfair months ago, now a 91% chance of remain. They were at around 60% a few weeks ago. A lot of certainty has come from somewhere all of a sudden.

bobmcstuff

FT reporting on some hedge fund exit polls showing a similar 52 for Remain

bobmcstuff

Although arron banks of ukip has been polling 10,000 people over the last 2 days and reckons it'll be 52 the other way

bobmcstuff

Farage and IDS have issued conciliatory statements.

Ipsos-mori Wednesday-Thursday poll has remain at 54.

Funny thing about the yougov poll is only 19% of Brexit voters actually expected Brexit to happen.

I thought long and hard before mentioning Hitler. Unfortunately that what's happened. Too scary for words in this day and age that a few politicians of dubious standing can whip up the poorest, least educated to do their championing on the basis of blaming people who don't look/speak like them.

Someone posted this on Twatter, it couldn't sum things up more if it fed me chocolate eclairs.

Iain Duncan Smith, friend of the working class, says council estates have provided a high turnout.
Oh the f***ing irony.

Nigel Farage going all Cristiano Ronaldo and complaining about the fact that the government's drive to register voters was too successful.

First time I've been genuinely angry about this vote when I read those remarks by Duncan Smith earlier, a nasty little sh1tebag like him looking to votes from council estates to bail him out?! I know people living such lives, some family, that leave have played upon to get votes during this campaign. Probably the most disgusting episode in UK politics in my lifetime. The man is a total @rsehole.

Mate, that is why I have been a bit outspoken about this debacle and mentioned Hitler. The uninformed masses voting for a collection of the most disgusting, uncaring politicians on the premise of care and thought. Unbelievably grim.
