rich_jackoWell, that was exciting. A close result. (I was predicting 52%:48%, but the other way.)
Shall we do it again in November? Best of three? ;o)
There's going to be a whole new level of craziness over the coming hours and days. But it's in the best interests of everyone (inside and outside the UK) to get the best workable solution all round.
The map of the UK is the real wake-up call here. Areas which political attention has been diverted away from in recent years voted strongly for Leave. I'd be far more worried about disaffected voters in the North of England, Wales and the Midlands, than about those in Scotland, London and Northern Ireland. Politicians need to wake up.
For the rest of us, it's hard, but we should try to keep calm and carry on, folks. Obviously this is very big, but let's keep our sense of perspective.
That is all.
