In an apple vacuum...
I've felt for a while now that the undecideds shouldn't be considered as usual, likely to return to type and vote the status quo. Really concerned about this.
As I said before, there could also be a left-wing Leave vote that feels embarrassed to associated with UKIP and some of the more right-wing elements of their campaign. People who don't like the EU as an unelected institution and want to break from that instead of concentrating on the immigration factor. One of my younger brothers is more left leaning than I am and I think he's voted out.

Having seen that Newcastle result I think it might well need a big Remain vote in London and other big cities.

Older people are more xenophobic, more europhobic, more right-wing, and rely on the (cut) government more than the majority of society. They feel the effects of immigrants coming in and doing the majority of low paid jobs (i.e. in the care industries), and may not like that.
And of course they vote Tory and UKIP in greater numbers...the two parties who are strongest for Brexit.

Aye and that will include some leave votes. To be fair I can't help but blame the people of London, transport in London is always fecking mental. Plan better.
Lol. FYI, This shows a lot of ignorance of what happened today.

Fair, good answer. Thanks.

One night I feel like Laura Kuenssberg is going to visit me in my dreams, and take away all happiness in my world.

Turn out at 67% and two of the votes so far from Scotland.

Sounds like Scotland's turnout going to be down on the national average, thats really bad news.
