Game Thread: It has come to this - UK votes to leave the EU

crimsonaudio · Jun 22, 2016

Interesting article here: http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/22/politics/eu-referendum-brexit-donald-trump/index.html

I think everyone will be better off if the UK stays part of the EU - the financial shockwave of their leaving could be rough world-wide...

Britain should leave the European Union.

A counterpoint to the Remain point of view:

I bet Cameron is feeling very stupid at this point in time for making the promise to hold a referendum.

1.8% in showing the leave campaign ahead ahead at 50.7%.

The gap is widening. 10 percent in and the U.K. Leave campaign is at 52.7%

Wow. I honestly thought the 'stay' votes would win in the typical 51-49% range. This is looking to be quite different...

Not sure where you're getting your numbers, but the BBC is painting a much closer picture:

I'm a bit surprised by the lack of interest here - this is potentially one of the biggest news world wide news stories in a long time, with ripples affecting every market around the planet.

Re: It has come to this - Brexit voting later today in the UK...

I saw something interesting earlier today. If the Leave campaign succeeds, does Scotland hold another secession referendum and vote to rejoin the European Union? They're voting pretty overwhelmingly to stay. They might just try it and succeed this time.

My friends in the UK almost universally believe that if Leave wins Scotland will secede and join the EU.

The Guardian currently reporting Leave being ahead by about 2,000 votes.

Leave leads now by a razor thin margin.

I have to admit that I'm a big fan of the UK law making it illegal for the news groups to report anything until the polls are closed...

BBC says remain just regained the lead. Going to be a very tight one.

This is pretty entertaining.

Change it to a game thread, CA.

I do love there not being a media circus around exit polls and such. Could you imagine CNN covering this?
