    I'm sticking for the moment at 52-48. I have a feeling middle class areas (including middle class tory areas) will be equally as heavily for remain. This could just mean the country is even more divided than we realised.

    Or maybe i'm deluding myself!

    Anyway, can we now go to sleep until about 2am?

    London should still put Remain over; London's biiiiiig.

    It's the big question isn't it: 60:40 for Remain in London, Scotland, NI...

    makes it very, very close

    Robert, 60:40 with a 60% turnout may lose it for Remain. The same with a 70% turnout would win it for them.

    Yes, though Clackwhatever wasn't great for Remain either.
    Still points to at least 60:40 for Scotland. Most Remain friendly bits still to come, and both results so far have beaten that.

    Good news on low Scottish turnout, mind.

    If true, that is serious for Remain. Broxtowe has lots of Notts University lecturers and professors.

    I can hardly believe it, though. The Universities are one of the big winners from the EU.

    If Broxtowe is Leave, it is all over, IMHO.

    Yes on Hanretty's figures though of course they have a confidence interval. London will have to be the cavalry for Remain.

    NI21 were EPIC. Beat anything else hands down I reckon. The longest suicide note, the Edstone, Burnham's leadership bid have got nothing on the NI21 self-combustion.

    Burnham's Manc mayoral bid may yet usurp them.

    On the other hand you could say it was a great campaign because it got so close to getting over the line when Cam & Co a few months back were assuming a walkover.

    I cling to the same hope, plus a disbelief that all the national polls could be so wrong, once again. But you have to say that the snippets of rumour coming in from the likes of Broxtowe and Crawley don't sound particularly encouraging.

    The problem for Remain is that the high middle class vote will have been picked up in the polls. What they will have weighted down was the WWC votes through their turnout models.

    It is my experience that University staff are likely to have not bothered turning out to vote. Far too comfortable. This referendum has brought out those who do not have that comfortable lifestyle.
