Nigel Farage: It Looks Like Remain Will Edge Out Leave in #Brexit Vote
Nigel Farage: Looks Like Remain Will Edge It https://t.co/giyQPcHJml
— Sky News (@SkyNews) June 23, 2016
Only about 2% of the votes have been counted so far. The first large area results will be available in 3 to 4 hours so we'll know then if the trend is holding. You can follow the results at the Telegraph election page. Lindsay Lohan is also live-tweeting the referendum here. Update 2 [Maet]: It's still very early but you have this tweet:
Senior labour figure tells me 'this has gone, Leave to win' - Don't jump up and down with joy or in despair, it's early and it's one source

Markets like cash ripped from the taxpayers' checks straight into their accounts with minimal overhead. A little lobbying and graft has lower overhead than advertising and quality control.

What's interesting is that the Queen sits on the sideline. This is the same country who's prior monarch broke away from the continental Europe and the Pope. Now the current monarch sits idly by while her country rejoins continental Europe and the new Pope - the EU. Had she made a statement for leave, it likely would have won. Strange times.

I can't think of a person who has spoken out more against those policies that have caused such suffering than Williamson. But he also believes that individuals are responsible for themselves and communities are responsible for the values in those communities.

And its also more than that. As Ace has pointed out, the benefits promised by the left are immediate and concrete (free shit, etc) while its downside of "control" and "loss of independence" or "centralizing power" etc is difficult to make concrete, and imminent.
We are almost an inversion of what WFB observed in the left trying to "immanentize the eschaton" i.e. accusing the left of trying to achieve spiritual goals through politics of this world, i.e. obtaining religious satisfaction from leftism.
But at this point, a vast middle ground doesn't even care about the eschaton. They aren't relgious leftists, just dead to the spirit, and all about the immediate stuff. The left tends to win the bidding/pandering war for stuff.
Not only are the evils of loss of freedom abstract, but they are typically a ways off: we are trying to sell people on the dangers of an abstract harm, on a slippery slope that we haven't reached yet.
But ultimately, on this road, you get to Venezuala or the Soviet Union, which obviously sucks in a very imminent and tangible way. Just the road there (aka Road to Serfdom) is difficult to see before you get there.
Its a philosophical news day.

The biggest problem for #Leave is any Commonwealth member resident in the UK can vote in the referendum. A huge stealth block of non-citizens allowed to determine the future of another country. And your average Pakistani Imam and chador clad wives are quite the fan of open borders and free immigration.

This is not results. This is stupid politicians and other bozos believing polls.
It is absolutely CRAZY for Farage to declare that his side has lost before a single vote was counted. He's just shrugging and assuming he will lose because a leftist-controlled poll told him so.
At which point, the bean-counters cant just declare that Remain won, because the expectation of it winning was already made the default assumption via propaganda.
People in England really are incredibly naive in certain areas.

For some reason, the sidebar Libertarian Tiger Beat Crew doesn't seem to want to mention the extended CNN Townhall last night with Johnson and Weld.
One would think Johnson praising Hillary and Weld saying he'd vote for Hillary over Trump would be a thing, but guess hourly Ben Carson updates are more relevant.

the Soviet ships approaching the blockade imposed by the US had submarine escorts that were armed with nuclear torpedoes. Because of the difficulty with communications, Moscow had authorized the submarine commanders to fire without further authorization. When an American destroyer tried to force a submarine to surface, both its captain and the political officer decided to fire a nuclear torpedo at the destroyer. A nuclear confrontation was avoided only because Vasili Arkhipov, the overall commander of the fleet, was also present on the submarine. He countermanded the order to launch, thereby preventing what might have started a nuclear war.

5? I only saw 2. But even so, all the polls had a significant undecided component. And in change vs. don't change votes, undecideds always break for the don't change side last minute. That's why a poll like 43-42 leave, really means a stay win.

The retard that murdered the pro-EU MP ended up dooming his country, even though he was trying to "save" it. For the last week of the campaign the entire nation was browbeaten with "If you vote Leave, you are complicit in her murder." It was relentless -- exactly as I predicted it would be.
Whether it actually swayed the votes from 55% pro-Leave (as of a week ago) or instead simply enabled vote-rigging without anyone questioning it because the expectation of losing was embossed on people's brains, either way it leads to Remain winning.

My sense is that if an election is anywhere near the Margin of Error, the party in charge (in this case, the pro-EU elites) are just going to drag their side across the finish line no matter what. So although my gut sense is that the national mood is in fact far far leaning toward "Leave," the "Remain" side will be declared the winner, by hook or by crook.
The only hope is that the actual vote totals are outside the MOE for Leave.

Let my offer my explanation.
It is human nature to be "ruled" so to speak. You can be ruled by God, whereby he is the higher power, and you atone for your sins or your personal failures.
Or you can be ruled by man and government where you also atone for your sins or your personal failure.
As faith in God has declined, faith in government has increased.

No, it's because he wrote a column that told certain white communities to die. No prescriptions other than move. No recognition that companies in those communities have been moving to places like Mexico for $1.75/hr wages. Or that the Left has been systematically destroying all of the foundations that kept white working class communities together. No, he just told them that companies were leaving because they failed. So, no, I'm not going to give him a break. He let the mask slip. He would never write anything like that about a non-white community.
And I don't care if he likes Trump or not. The issue with his Trump dislike was that it was deranged. About every other article he wrote was a Trump bashing one. His white communities need to die article was just the culmination of his madness as he lashed out at some of the people supporting Trump.
No, he's not on my side. He's part of the establishment that has continually failed. They haven't stopped Obama or the Democrats. They even failed to stop Trump....Trump. Let that sink in. Why do you continue to listen to failures?

Sort of uplifting:
"Nigel Farage has just come on teevee to say he thinks Remain will win by a few points. That's been the consensus all week, but to hear Nige say it is depressing.
It solves nothing. The margin is likely to be slim, and all the passion was for Leave. In other words, half of this country is likely to wake up very pissed off at the other half tomorrow. Including a majority of the people who 23andme would call 'the English'.
This will not end well, and it certainly will not end tomorrow.
Hm. Time to go practice more axe throwing, I think."

This election has identified two very different bases of support in the Republican party (and of the right in general I guess). I have much more in common with Williamson than Trump. I wonder if those two sides will be able to reconcile in a post-Trump world.

Before it was the EU it was the EC, the European Communities. It's communities, plural, because it started with coal and steel.
It was a pretty amazing thing that Germany and France decided in 1956 (I think, looking stuff up is cheating) that if they integrated their coal and steel markets they might be able to stop going to war with each other all the time.
That part has worked.
Also, by "integrating markets" I mean dropping tariffs.

In Obama's remarks today about the SCOTUS' refusal to approve his illegal alien amnesty scam, he said we need to welcome all immigrants, because just like our ancestors, they are coming here because they believe in American ideals of equality.
LOL.
LaRaza (everything for the race, nothing for those outside the race) and its "Make America Mexico Again!" supporters have ZERO interest in any American ideals, let alone in American ideals of equality.
And the millions of muslims that Obama has brought into the U.S. over the last 8 years similarly have ZERO interest in American ideals of equality. Islam is a misogynistic, homophobic, supremacist ideology. Islam -- and this is mainstream (or "moderate") Islam -- views females as inferior, homosexuals as inferior, and non-muslims as inferior, and teaches that all those groups deserve fewer civil rights than muslim men.
But Obama and his prog cultists have to keep denying reality, because that's the only way their policies make any sense.

In Nevil Shute's 1950's novel In the Wet none of the Royals want to stay in the UK, let alone rule.
Spoiler: A Governor General is appointed to run the UK, and multiple voting is started. The hero gets an extra vote from the queen for saving her life.
In the book, multiple votes were a way to get a better class of elected official. This was in a novel of a fictional future commonwealth.
Everyone got one vote, then you got more votes if you were a minister, lived overseas (or stationed overseas), stayed married until your kids were 14, made a fair amount of money, had an advanced degree, and the last one was the Queen's to give. An intriguing starting point for political reform.

See we are finding out to our horror:
Globalism means less individual liberty. Liberty needs a space to grow, but also needs patriotism (aka nationalism) to protect it. For those who trash nationalism all the time by bringing up Europe's 20th century blunders, you also forget that some of our best founding fathers were hardcore American first nationalist....starting with George Washington!
Nationalism combined with a constitution that protects liberty is the best way to go. You have to pound those ideals into the citizen body. For example, the Roman Republic made every citizen serve in the legions, etc. If you wanted political rights you have to serve to protect those rights.
Globalism destroys nationalism, this in turn creates a power vacuum which is filled with something. That something is set up to thrive in a world without borders...like...
1. Internationalist Oligarchy run by wealthy plutocrats
2. Socialist / Communists run by academics and community organizers
3. Islam run by theocratic lunatics
I would put Christianity on the list but it is so neutered now it cannot possibly win out over those other three. Maybe if it gets all hardcore, c. 1200s style...
You notice there is no power that protects constitutions, or individual liberty, that can thrive in globalism. Why do think Obama is pushing all these trade deals being a socialist/communist?

The best answer is a seminal book. British writer, doctor, and psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple wrote the essays collected in Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass starting in 1994.
This book explains, in crystal-clear fashion, how England went under. The admirable national character was gone for one-third of the country in 1995, and it got worse since then.
To be even this close is amazing.

My sense is that if an election is anywhere near the Margin of Error, the party in charge (in this case, the pro-EU elites) are just going to drag their side across the finish line no matter what. So although my gut sense is that the national mood is in fact far far leaning toward "Leave," the "Remain" side will be declared the winner, by hook or by crook.
The only hope is that the actual vote totals are outside the MOE for Leave.

There were no exit polls in the vote, but a YouGov opinion poll released as polling stations closed put Remain ahead by 52 per cent to 48 per cent.
And pollsters Mori have Remain at 54 per cent following analysis from yesterday and today - a bigger lead than that projected by YouGov's poll
However, a third poll carried out on 10,000 people and commissioned by the Leave group revealed 52 per cent would vote for a Brexit compared to 48 per cent who said they would vote Remain.

The school of thought that has come to dominate the conservative commentariat is the notion of the US merely as a "proposition nation" and not as an actual people with our own history and culture and national story. Kevin Williamson is in this school, and it is a melding of libertarian thought and New York Jewish intellectuals who abandoned Marxism for free market theory but who are alienated from Americans as a people, and who view flyover Americans, at least white Christians, as but a short step from Nazis. There seems to be some psychological element deriving from what happened to Jews in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s in which they project current-day white Christian Americans into the role of Nazis in order to have windmills to tilt against. Some very smart people are in this group. They are the leaders in the NeverTrump movement and are constantly invoking specious comparisons of Trump to Hitler, Mussolini, etc. This group is naturally open-borders and globalist and pro-EU and considers pro-American policies to be indistinguishable from European nationalism which is associated closely in their minds with anti-Semitism.
The second group is conservative in the more traditional American sense. This group treasures our particular American history and culture and is patriotic. It recognizes the importance of Judeo-Christian morality to our ability to sustain a stable and viable society. It considers the primary function of the American government to be to further the interests of the American people, not abstract notions of globalist progress.
The first group has pretended to identify with the second group, but the issues of mass immigration and the de-industrialization of the American workforce through abusive trade agreements have ripped the mask off.

BREXIT "LEAVE" has moved into THE LEAD!

Ten minutes ago, it was the reverse -- "Stay" was leading.
This could be EXTREMELY CLOSE.

"The Newcastle result is a shock
This counting area - one of the referendum's biggest - was expected to come out much more in favour of Remain. JP Morgan, one of the biggest investment banks, expected 66.8pc of the vote for Remain. The actual margin of victory was much smaller, with only 51pc voting to stay in."
The polls were 17 PERCENT OFF IN FAVOR OF REMAIN in Newcastle.
If this holds true nationwide, "Remain" is in major trouble!

I have no idea if they're counting rural votes first or urban votes first.
Rural is about 75% "Leave."
Urban is 75% "Stay."
It all comes down to which counties are being counted. I'd have to drill down to see if it's promising or not.

Even though they are the center of the media, have all the technology, and all the people to do it, they PURPOSELY withhold London votes so that they can swoop in at the end to tilt the election. In reality, they could be (and should be) the first ones counted.

Yeah, this is the problem as I see it, too. 8.5 million is a lot of people, and even if turnout is low, the pool of voters is so fucking large that I don't seeing it make much of a difference. Only hope is that the support for Leave in London is greater than has been reported.
And as I type this, the vote narrows to 51% - 49% Leave, about a 16K margin.

How close did we come to Armageddon during the Cuban Missle Crisis?
the Soviet ships approaching the blockade imposed by the US had
submarine escorts that were armed with nuclear torpedoes. Because of the
difficulty with communications, Moscow had authorized the submarine
commanders to fire without further authorization. When an American
destroyer tried to force a submarine to surface, both its captain and
the political officer decided to fire a nuclear torpedo at the
destroyer. A nuclear confrontation was avoided only because Vasili
Arkhipov, the overall commander of the fleet, was also present on the
submarine. He countermanded the order to launch, thereby preventing what
might have started a nuclear war.

Not as close as we got in 1956 when we launched the entire Strategic Air Command at the Soviet Union; the lead B-52s were over Soviet Air Space when they got the recall order.

"The party's over in Brussels. The Funky Monkey, an Irish pub next to the European Commission HQ, had been packed when polls shut at 10pm, and officials were in high spirits as Gibraltar declared at 96 per cent for in.
"But as Remain were dealt two heavy blows in Sunderland and Newcastle, the mood suddenly turned sour. "F---!" shouted one official. Others had tears in their eyes and headed for the door. At half past one local time, the TVs were turned off, and staff trudged home. Over the road, lights were burning all over the Berlaymont HQ. At 10.30am Donald Tusk, Jean-Claude Juncker and Mark Rutte will meet to digest what it all means for Europe. "

Glenn Reynolds has been saying for years that we should return to paper ballots.
Any voting system can be defrauded, but it would seem that
electronic systems are probably stupidly easy to hack. Moving electrons
from one column to the other is much easier than counterfeiting stacks
of paper.
Posted by: rickl at June 23, 2016 07:56 PM (sdi6R)"
We could pretty easily have the foolproof reliability of paper ballots combined with the speed of electronic voting if ballots were scanned in and then the marked votes recorded with open source software.
To improve transparency, the scanned in images could be posted to the internet so that anybody else could download them and run their own independent scan. Since each ballot should have a unique number, you could check to make sure that your ballot is marked the way you voted. Posting the ballots would also allow people to scan for various sorts of fiddling like posting multiple copies of a single ballot with only the serial number changed.
To add security, a time stamp could be added to each scanned in ballot to record when it was scanned. If a whole lot of ballots are scanned in after the polls have closed, that is very suspicious.

Command at the Soviet Union; the lead B-52s were over Soviet Air Space
when they got the recall order.
Posted by: An Observation at June 23, 2016 08:27 PM (L/wkT)
What sparked that? The Hungarian Revolution?
No, I knew the person who caused it. He died two years ago. He was a traffic analyst in Japan who was reading the radio traffic to watch what the Russian Air Force was doing. Suddenly he got launch indications on all of the Russian Bomber call signs simultaneously, and they were all headed toward the US. NORAD was notified - it went up the chain of command - Eisenhower ordered a counter strike, and the entire Strategic Air Command was scrambled with H-bombs and headed for their targets in the Soviet Union. There was no fail safe then - when the launch order was given that was it.
Another friend of mine was in the Civil Air Patrol in Alabama and he was on his way to the local air base when he saw the B-36s taking off. He told me he stopped his car and got out and watched in terror because he saw it was not a drill - it was a combat launch with the planes following as closely behind each other as they could.
Fortunately as our planes approached their targets a French traffic analyst saw one of the Russian Bomber call signs landing in Siberia. He realized what the Russian mass launch was; the spring time resupply missions to the Siberian military bases and that the Idiot Russians had swapped all their civilian and military call signs - they hadn't launched their bombers. That information got confirmed when other Russian planes landed - that was relayed up the chain of command and Eisenhower recalled SAC.
There used to be a Wikipedia page on the incident but it has disappeared.

The City of London is a separate, corporate village. It is where the financial part of the UK is centered. So it has an outsized influence, notwithstanding the small number of people who actually live there.
It has a vote in Parliament, and is political completely separate from Greater London.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a fcuk.
Stay, go, they'll still be a reservoir of stupid and PC. They're country is almost Dhimmi-fied and they don't seem to be worried about it.
They took away their guns and then they started arresting people for harming criminals through other means when people naturally fought back against the tide of criminality.
They don't have codified rights such as we do here. None.
They're laws are made for convicting the innocent and making criminals out of those who defend themselves. Yet they allowed rape grooming and molestation go unpunished for years because they were afraid of hurting Muslim feelings.
Sharia law is legal there in many places and there are large areas where the Kaffir dare not go.
That's not going to change if they leave the EU.

I guess either people change or else the perception was just wrong.
You might want to read Linda Colley's book "Britons." Illuminating on a lot of levels. The Scots, by and large, largely supported the Crown (Tories) and the English were Whigs in the 18th century....
The American Revolution, when viewed through the lenses of 18th century British domestic politics, looks a whole lot more typically English than one might think.
