Poll: The Official OcUK EU Referendum Exit poll (and results discussion thread)

[Zefan]

Absolutely

Same here.

I think it's pleasing to see such strong turn outs. If nothing more that is a good thing.

I'm enjoying proportional representation Saying that, when I voted in 2010 for the conservatives my vote counted....

 

[Locky]

God, Amber Rudd is on bbc....utterly utterly vile woman

AGREED! She is so vile!

 

[robfosters]

Amber Rudd starting to pander to Boris now. Now it's over and just in case he becomes PM obviously.

 

[Housey]

Ugh, Douglas Carswell.............

Quite says so much, but nothing.

 

[Craterloads]

If it does go remain, is it likely we will see some sackings on the leave side?

 

[Trucamo]

I'm not terribly surprised turnout is higher than that for GE. This is a vote of change/no change whereas GE is a choice between crap, crap or what is generally considered a wasted vote.

''The estimated turnout for #EUref is 83.7% - if correct that's extraordinary. The last general election was 66%''

Amazing if true, and I hope it is as I have 20 quid on a high voter turnout!

It is also very easy to understand what you are voting for. That usually helps.

Labour sources in Sunderland are saying that sampling there gives 56-44 win for Leave. Sunderland was always going to be a Leave win but that margin suggests that Leave might win overall :/

 

[Tefal]

Do you not think a close call but to remain may do that anyway? Surely if it is anything less than 60/40 it will send a clear message out and probably lead to other countries holding their own referendums?

It's what I am hoping for anyway.

Nope.

Because there's no pressure at all.

So what if nearly half the country hates it.

Its not like a political party that can be voted out next election.

Only thing that happens is maybe a few more UKIP meps next election as more people become apathetic about voting.

What pressure can possibly be exerted by the people of the uk on the government bodies of the EU?

Not like we can rock up outside thier offices in protest without significcant investment

 

[Freakbro]

Time for another theoretical question please.

All you remainers, if a remain/leave referendum was held on the basis that if we stay we have to switch to the euro, would that change your vote?

Well, it would change the discussion and i'd listen to the new points. So i'd rethink my choice but I don't know if i'd change it

 

[robfosters]

Some Eastern Europeans ate some ducks and fish I guess? : D

I was Remain.

Please dont trivialise the theft of fish by eastern europeans.

Me and my brother pay £180 a year to our local fishing syndicate. About 3 years ago, they spent £130,000 on top quality carp for the fishery.

This year there have already been at least 10 Romanians caught catching and stealing the fish for the pot. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. They take swans too.

The Pound increasing in value is a clear sign that even if Remain is the wrong position, from a view clearly about confidence, remain is the winning side.

Nah there's bigger areas where we'll likely see the same ratio the other way around.

 

[Tombstone]

Whats the estimated time for the first result to come in?

 

[Caged]

If this goes to Remain, combined with the London Mayoral election result I hope it buries Boris and he fades away.

Also with this referendum, Cameron or anyone, has lost the ability to threaten to leave the EU.

Stupid referendum to begin with.

No it doesn't.
