52% in favour of Leave. BBC calls it a Leave win.

Looks like it.

Bloody awesome!!

It's WAAAAAYY too early to call it.

Over 90% counted Herb

Watch the nag that barrels up the middle of the pack and then goes to the outside to stretch his legs to win by a nose ....

Wanna bet that 'Leave' wins? If it does, you must put whatever I ask in your signature box here at OzPol. If, 'Remain' wins, I put whatever you ask in my signature box here.

NO.

One of the more silly Headlines I'm seeing from Britain is the one declaring ...

'BRITAIN BACKS BREXIT!'

Needless to say it's nowhere near the truth.

Just a shade over half the voters are at the moment backing British independence.

The Sovereign Britain count needs another 37,000 to win.

It's edge-of-the-seat stuff still.

NO.

Wise decision. 'Leave' has now officially won having received more than the required M16.8 votes.

What about the Postal Vote?

It's not over by a long chalk.

Quote: "The far-right parties of both France and the Netherlands also called for a referendum on European membership after the result".

The "far-right parties" ... Not just 'conservative' parties, but the "far-right parties".

Oddly enough I haven't yet seen the media bringing us footage of the membership of these "Far Right Parties" with them goose-stepping down the streets in jackboots and black uniforms with silver trimmings.

Give us the final results, otherwise it's all conjecture and hot air. The morons in the conservative party are begging that idiot David Cameron to remain as pm after a Brexit win.

Essentially the elite socially liberal lost out to the left-behind socially conservative. And it appears to cut across education & age groups though geography was important.
