Brexit discussion thread- UPDATE: the majority chose leave!

[SvennoJ]

51% to 49%, can such a huge decision be made with only a 2% difference?
Might as well have been a coin toss.

Throughout the Brexit campaign, Leave’s message of seizing back control captured the imagination of mostly older, rural voters. Younger, more urban Britons strongly favoured Remain, many citing the freedom to work anywhere in the union.

Adding to the array of unknowns, a geographic quagmire that could yet send the United Kingdom into a new spasm of disunity — Scotland and Northern Ireland, by significant majorities, each voted to Remain, while England and Wales voted Leave. The dissonance was already triggering a reawakening of the still-potent Scottish independence movement last night, with separatists urging a new referendum on Scotland departing from Britain to rejoin Europe.

Goodluck with that.
