[Mynight]

So labours plan is blame conservatives?


"We we're saying what you wanted to hear but you weren't listening" Must admit despite voting remain I didnt hear them say any of this.

At least if it's within a couple of percent, call me Dave cant come on smug boasting about a 'The nation has spoken' victory.

its not a binding referendum, its just a "see what the public want" exercise which they will take into account.

Technicality... in reality it would be rather hard to ignore the result...

 

[Mr Jack]

its not a binding referendum, its just a "see what the public want" exercise which they will take into account.

De jure, you're correct. But Cameron has been very clear that the government consider it binding and that he will activate article 50 on a single vote lead for Leave so I think de facto you're incorrect.

While I cba to do the sums I doubt its considered statistically significant enough to declare one over the other...

Im sure the range Im mentioning is likely embellished

A 2% lead would be around 1 million people.

 

[robfosters]

John Mann thinks it's done.

 

[ic1male]

Ooooh, remain by a whisker now at 13,765.

THe small turn out..I wonder if people didn't realise its literally a "your vote is counted as one"?.

 

[Muz333]

This is unbelievably close so far.

 

[thenewoc]

The result so far includes Gibraltar too, no one else is expected to have a 99.x% remain so fingers crossed the leave will start pulling ahead soon.

 

[Muz333]

Call in sick....

Have a seminar with presentations to give.

 

[robfosters]

This going to be tighter than an 18 year old nuns chuff.

 

[StriderX]

Literally 50/50 wow.

 

[Gilly]

50.1% vs 49.9%

Leave back in front

 

[robfosters]

Leave back in the lead!

 

[ps3ud0]

A 2% lead would be around 1 million people.

we're not talking about samples here but the actual population... it is quite simple really - there is a binary choice and one side wins.

 

[marc2003]

109K lead gone in a few minutes.

 

[Darujhistan]

It's like a Turgid hour long battle in MTW2.

 

[Tute]

Literally 50/50 wow.

It bothers me that the country is so divided about this.

In a few hours, half of the country's vote is going to be basically ignored.
