As the long night approaches, who will be brave to write down here what they think the result will be and check their prediction skills later? I start by betting my reputation on 60% remain. Remember that reports on this will start in about one hour and will last for roughly 9 hours until the final result. Let’s see true democracy in action! ---

51% remain, 49 leave. ( the divide worsens! ) ---

I don’t know what the percentages will be, but I’m from the UK and although I voted Leave, I think it the result will actually be Remain - but only by a small amount. ---

I’m thinking 57% Remain, 42% Leave and 1% Leave-but-reconquer-Sealand. ---

Well, this is a heartening thread in terms of peoples’ optimism, but against the grim reality, I’m afraid we were all wrong - I would have guessed 54% Remain, 46% Leave. ---

Wonder how many of these predictions were based on the posters not knowing anyone who supported leaving the EU? 🙂 ---

Am I late to just add that I meant 60% remain for London? I am? Darn! Seen that my reputation is in taters I can only take solace on the 30 million pounds that were lost by the remain punters and which none was mine. ---

If your reputation is anywhere, [taters](https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1070&bih=738&q=tater+tots&oq=tater+tots&gs_l=img.3..0l10.830.2810.0.3013.12.10.1.1.1.0.124.689.9j1.10.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..0.12.690...0i10i24j0i24.cOy551mXML0) are a pretty good place to be.
