    London voting very differently to the rest of England.

    'If the UK votes to leave it will be down to the votes of provincial England' - Prof John Curtice.

    And the Welsh are siding with these English people too.

    Austerity certainly playing its part, but Wales do well from the EU and were not expected to be so much for Leaving.

    This is nail biting! Don't know if London and Metropolitan areas can swing it alone with low turnout in Scotland and big turnouts in eurosceptic areas.

    United Kingdom? Far from it!

    Poor England does well from it too, disadvantaged areas get more EU funding, doesn't stop then blaming the EU for all their ills

    East Belfast can't decide 52% leave, in contrast to West's 74% Remain

    London has the population to matter though.

    London and Scotland could carry the day, like the divorce ref in Ireland- Urban areas won it

    I doubt it. Watch outer London (e.g. boroughs like Barking / Dag)

    Although this is true, the EU is hardly evoking the Marshall plan there.

    Not with the low turnout in Scotland they won't.

    It looks like the London vote has held up.

    Depends on the turnout, if London is out in force it will go a long way to seeing a Remain win, if it is down from expected by 3 or 4% that is massive

    THE UK is split, whatever the result.

    51% remain aint much of a mandate

    There was a statistic floating around saying turnout drops 1% per 1" of rainfall, there was a fair bit of rain today in the SE.

    When it's this tight, every vote counts.

    Especially if it's seen as Scotland and London versus the rest.

    The transport network was crippled here. There definitely would have been a lot of people who would not have reached their polling station in time to vote today.

    Even if the Remain side shade it, there's no hiding from the fact that those outside London feel politically and economically disenfranchised.
