Vote Leave

[topum]

Today in front of Sloan Square tube station. On my way back there also was one "Vote Remain" guy there. Exciting day here tomorrow.

Sorry, forgot that you aren't a citizen...

Yes, I am Danish and Norwegian, both an EU citizen (Denmark) and a non-EU citizen (Norway).

Yes, you mentioned it, I just forgot for a second.

OMG, they say that "leavers" lead 51 to 49...

Yes, this is after Sunderland's results, 61% voted for leaving there and only 39 for remain.

Now remain is ahead again after Orkney and Clackmannanshire voted to stay.

I trace it here.

I use BBC, they have live video streaming there too.

Pound dropped pretty sharply after Sunderland's results were announced. Exciting night.

Indeed. I am very far from British problems, but I am very excited. Somehow, it´s a historical moment. British nation is divided 50:50. It means that the nation lost its unityu and doesn't have any clear vision of its future and priorities. It was a mistake to let this very referendum happen...

I was just asked how would I have voted in a similar referendum in Denmark and Norway. Weirdly I think I would vote for Denmark to stay in the EU as it is now and for Norway to stay out of it as it is now ).

Very interesting. I don't know the region well, and haven't a faintest idea why you could think like this (and of course I don't dare to ask you to spend your time on explanations)...

Leavers and remainers are neck to neck again, wow...

Would you vote for Russia joining the EU or against it if there was a referendum on this in Russia?

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

I have voted by my legs - emigrated. I love the country and its culture, but I disagree with many basic principles of Russian social and political life (too criminal way of doing everything, too violent behaviour, too much dishonesty in national self-identification, too deep traditions of dictatorship, slavery and servility, too depressed mood of everyone around you, and the web of social relationship too messed up by communist experiments; = briefly: too insane society). So I don't feel myself a normal member of the Russian "community" and wouldn't go to vote at all. I only can say that for EU it would be a disaster to accept Russia - something like the last episode of the Trojan war, with the wooden horse etc... For Russia it could be a chance to change, and it will abuse, fuck up and lose this chance with 100% certainty.

I like Guardian's coverage actually, it is much clearer than BBC's. But BBC with their live streaming is better for the atmosphere, ha ha. I am following both.

I am watching BBC too, thank you.

I am still taking in Swindon voting to leave.

Looks like leavers are winning. Northern part is yellow, but all the rest tends to be blue...
