Extremely low immigration in most of these parts of wales. This needs a masterclass in explanation, and is not nearly as simple as many on the Leave side might like to suggest.

I suggest the Leave side understand these voters more than the establishment...
Well, this is getting bizarre. We are all pretty much ready to call it for Leave and it's still odds-against.
How many people have in hindsight here talked about how slow the market was to react away from No Overall Majority last year and how much they made based on that?
If I gambled I'd be betting big on Leave right now, it should be odds-on.

That is correct.
I would guess that the part of Wales which has received most immigration (Cardiff) might be the only part to vote Remain.
The Valleys & West Wales has received lots of EU money, but its dispersal by the Welsh Government has actually managed to make the people poorer.

They also fail to understand that in some of these areas immigration has had extremely little tangible impact. If they are voting against it, they are voting against a second-hand impression of it - which has a number of implications.
I always wonder about this claim of extremely low immigration. I wonder would a better question be a "change in immigration".
London has always had a lot of immigration, where as in some other places they might not have had many immigrants in terms of % of population, but they might have gone from 0% and so the change is more visible and perhaps worries more people....just a thought.
Does anyone think it'll be difficult for the SNP to call another referendum if it's not just England voting Leave but Wales and possibly Northern Ireland as well?
Quite exciting though, even though many of us will lose our jobs and homes.
It is exciting. Then you remember Johnson, Gove, Patel and co are going to takeover, and millions of ordinary punters are looking at significant damage to their livelihoods, and it becomes a lot less attractive.

Off the top of my head Merthyr would be a strong case of the kind of "left behind" communities that Ford and Goodwin identified as being fertile ground for UKIP.

From my point of view it's not looking good for the economy, for society and cohesion, or the future of the UK as a unitary state. Still, the sun will still rise tomorrow morning, and it will still be summer.
FPT @CasinoRoyale I am entirely calm. My view of Leave's campaign is well-settled and has been well-advertised. It is not going to change.
It is a historical low point for this country, made worse by the evident cluelessness as to what Leave actually want to do. There is nothing to discuss: it is a moral stain on the nation and I will have no part in pursuing this ugly and half-baked hobby horse.

Which is why Tory Leavers have cheered on policy after policy that has done significant harm to working class voters.
This is the single most incredible electoral result of my lifetime.
Also the most pleasing, and the most scary.
I agree.
I read Charles' moving, and beautifully written reasons for why he voted Leave earlier and knew I'd made the right decision. But I wasn't expecting the numbers looking to agree with it!

How much better is Leave doing than forecast?

Looking much closer now; Remain victory no longer certain
Somewhere between a few and more.
