Upper and working classes voting leave.

Middle class remain.

Upper and working classes voting leave.

Middle class remain.

Middle class care about house prices more than the other two.  Makes up a much bigger % of their net worth than the other two bands generally.

Middle class also more likely to benefit from EU immigration (good, cheap Polish builder to do that loft conversion for little Amelia's bedroom, Romanian cleaner to come in every week, super cute Latvian girl working in the coffee shop) whereas it's the working class areas that suffer.

England as a general area is going to be a sea of blue dictated too by london and scotland, going to go down a treat

Remain 5/2. Done and dusted it looks like

What vine just shows suggests leave represents the countries feeling as a whole and what weve seen all night, scotland and london remains only hope. Birmingham and londons big hitters could still land blows but in reality it wouldnt be in the interests of representing people across the country, leaving us more divided than the joke difference between opinions.

100m market on betfair. Interestingly the only non cricket market in the top 5 all time traded events

Apart from fishing (and that is even arguable because the row was with Iceland who aren't in the EU) all the things blamed on the EU were actually the fault of Thatcher.

Can't London still bring in a 1.5million-750k score? Birmingham another few hundred k in favour.

Don't think it's over but it does seem Leave has it right now

The Sun is never wrong!  Where does the £100m come from?  

[Lonohray2]

Incredible

[TightEnd]

Ftse futures down 5%. Not cataclysmic. Next few months going to be fascinating for politics nerds, big questions across all parties

[teddybloat]

Its looked done and dusted the other way too.

The markets seem to be very poor predictors and very good wind socks that strongly flap in the direction of whatever trend is showing up on the beeb.

When the bigger Birmingham and London remain blocks hit the prices will shift.

I do think leave have it wrapped up though. Lower turn outs in strong remain areas and low margins and even slight losses in some of their bread and butter areas.

and the most likely result is that cameron is replaced by a righter wing pm, so their personal economic risks are going up (which is a risk they appear to be ok taking)
