England is considerably more conservative than Scotland. If Scotland had left we'd pretty much never have a Labour government (although these days Labour is considerably more conservative than Scotland too, hence why Labour are so fucked and the SNP are doing so well). They're certainly a pro-EU stronghold because for them the EU is a guarantee that England can never exploit their dependence upon England to control Scotland. I suspect that if the UK voted leave Scotland would stay in the EU anyway. It's all a bit of a clusterfuck. The UK is strictly speaking a unitary state in which all power is held at the top (the sovereign) and then filtered downwards (the opposite of a Federal system) but in practice we're far more willing to devolve real power than the US is, for example. | ||

Pound and shares sharply lower as Leave tipped to win The pound is slumping now, down 5.5% at $1.408 as bookies now put Leave as the favourite to win. And the FTSE 100 futures are now down more than 4% | ||

If they leave, it am going to enjoy the next year of fallout and people saying "I told you so." Thank god this is happening before the US election. Let someone else touch the stove. | ||

All the polls earlier showed that people expected a Brexit to hurt the economy, both among the Remain and Leave sides. Nothing unexpected here - it just means that they're willing to accept that cost. | ||

The BBCs map is the best, if only because I now know about the lands known as Ork and Shet. I am currently working on my own fan fiction. | ||

June 24, 2016 Vote Leave source: at current rate they're on course for 150,000 fewer votes in London than hoped. But will more than cover that elsewhere. | ||
