[font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]In common with other broadcasters, the BBC is limited in what it can report while polls are open but you can follow the results as they come in across the BBC after polls close on Thursday evening.[/font]

[font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Whichever side gets more than half of all votes cast is considered to have won.[/font]

[font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]There have been [font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]thunderstorms in London and south-east England[/font] which caused flooding overnight.[/font]
[font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Kingston upon Thames Council in south west London [font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]has moved[/font] two polling stations after they were inundated with water.[/font]
Votes are coming to a close and it seems to be more in favor for leaving the European Union. Most of you already know about this. I'd like to know what you think about this and what your views are.

GG UK.

I already replied to you in shoutbox but this vote wasn't won because of the economy. We were warned for a few good years about the uncertainty a leave vote would create, it didn't stop over 17 million people voting to leave. It was won mainly because of issues people have with immigration.
 
Also fuck you George Osborne, I can't wait for that slimy fuck to go. Bring in the Boris as Prime Minister.
 
lol'd

Isn't it pretty much fiscally impossible for Scotland to gain independence? Like the EU would make it hard for them to join due to their financial situation?

I mean, they're the 12th largest economy in the EU and hold the largest oil resources out of any EU member.
 
I hope all of England and Wales are turned into third world shitholes. I hope we see tons of English and Welsh lining up in the streets for water and bread. I hope Scotland gets another vote. I hope Ireland lures in all the UK financial institutions.
