    It's like the old days of wrestling.

    You see the Bad Guy getting in early looking like he is going beat the Good Guy, but right at death the God Guy wins in dramatic fashion.

    It's makes good TV viewing.

    Remain will win and win with by least 6%

    Pragmatism will kick in. I doubt that borders will be set up in the North again, and our strong trade links with Britain will continue, irrespective of what the EU gnomes say.

    There's not gonna be trade barriers to UK (basket case eu can't afford them) and NI is a settled issue in the hearts and minds now

    Glasgiow 56.2% turnout is a very bad indicator.

    Also early reports that London turnout is not as high as expected.

    I think Remain will just take it, but there is a chance London, Wales, N Ire and Scot vote Remain and still lose.

    Even Farage is saying at this stage that Remain may nick it.

    I know. If Britain leave, it will lessen the EU stranglehold on us because it will basically give the two fingers to Merkel.

    I'm very excited. It must have been similar when the allies were invading France and hearing of the reports of small gains. It took a year to save Europe after D-Day. Europe could be saved within the next few hours.

    Remain need to build a lead in the next hour. Leave rural areas will come in towards the end and remain needs to be moving ahead shortly.

    Nobody knows what will happen. Britain might not survive. The EU might not survive long term either but we'll have lost out only powerful ally in the EU. Brexit is categorically bad for Ireland.

    What makes you so sure? It seems pretty certain to be extremely close one way or the other.
