    It would be born out of xenophobia and nothing else. The Euro is going to fluctuate, so what? Everyone outside of England proper's four major cities stand to economically benefit from staying in.

    This is very worrying, need some big Remain majoritys to come in. At least everywhere in Scotland has voted Remain

    90% of Leave voters have done so purely for immigration.

    It's more than just xenophobia- that's a very simple and condescending way to look at this. I voted leave and i'm not white with my Dad being a Muslim and the reasons I chose to vote Leave is not at all to do with Xenophobia. Immigration is an issue but that's just because of the numbers putting stress on services, most of the people voting leave don't have an issue with immigration at all when controlled as immigration brings a lot of benefits to the UK.

    Odds are even on bet365 and sky bet

    That's insane considering leave was 8/1 this morning

    As a leave voter I'm feeling sorry for remain voters right now

    A proper remain campaign rather than dropping to Farage's level and running a fear campaign too probably would've seen remain win easy tbh

    Remainers always start debates talking about how they are going to paint a positive vision of staying in the EU but then continue the fear campaign straight away.

    Of course. But early signs are discouraging.

    On the bright side for those voting remain, if we leave then David Cameron and George Osborne are done.

    Yep completely agree, I've seen too much of remain voters lately slamming all leave voters as racist, then going on about how leave voters are basing their vote on fear. At the end of the day any leave voter with common sense understands immigration is actually good for the UK and that leaving the EU will see more people immigrating to the UK from other parts of the world anyway

    Wasn't a strong leave due to the worry of big businesses such a Nissan pulling production out of the UK due having no free movement of goods, however I voted to leave based on the fact the EU isn't run properly and even if it takes 5 years i see us agree a CET with the EU. There are too many countries that don't actually meet all the requirements to be in the common market, for example the UK don't even meet them as our debt to GDP ratio is too high yet we're one of the top countries in terms of meeting requirements in there

    To add to that I don't think the effect whether we leave or remain will be that catastrophic in the long term on the economy
