    Rob Ford saying London has some "heavy lifting" to do to save the day.

    That doesn't work for national cohesion, whichever way the result goes. A stronger separation of identity for London may develop, with political consequences down the line.

    The polling company who had a 10% Remain win....well I think they are probably hot footing to the nearest airport as we speak.

    That would be the government's pollster...

    I'm afraid they have to. Cameron, Osborne and co are finished and need to go asap.

    Agreed, but I think we'll get a political vacuum for quite a while. Not only will it be a vacuum in terms of personalities, even more seriously there will be a vacuum in terms of policy, because no homework was done and the Leave campaign jumped on any passing populist bandwagon. The only 100% clear thing about the outcome is that it's a vote against free movement of people. So that rules out the EEA option.
    Yes, that's exactly right Richard.

    Yes, EEA and acces to the single market are dead. The emergency measures taken need to be based on that.
    I don't accept that. The referendum is on leaving the EU. All future options are there to be fought for.

    @graemewearden: Futures market predicting a massive selloff -- FTSE 100 being called down 6% https://t.co/QhtxxuhyCk

    More interesting will be FTSE 250, as FTSE 100 is full of companies with international earnings that do better in the case of Brexit. We own Wolsely, for example, which is a big US Dollar earner.
    Might be some buying opportunities amidst the general sell-off. High risk, though.

    As for the betting markets and the stockmarkets they were linked with little input from the outside. If the pound went up the Remain odds went up and vise versa, I think someone in the city used some software to link the two markets.

    Now I'm off again.

    The problem with this whole debate has been that it has been about 51%, not 70%. There is a solution that would garner the support of 70% of the British people, and result in minimal economic impact from leaving:

    EFTA/EEA, with compulsory health insurance for migrants. Just a small sum of - say - 2k/year would eliminate almost all non-skilled migration.

    Quite. The opinions of Remain voters can't be ignored just because they lost. A significant restriction on free movement is still a minority in the country, regardless of the motivations of WWC voters

    I am a Leaver, and have been passionate about my views. They are shared by perhaps a third of the Leave side, and include Richard_T, Max, Casino, Cyclefree and others.

    We need to come up with the solution that satisfies 70% of the population, not 51% of 51%.
