Which leader of a party is likely to carry 2/3 of its supporters?

Farage. Yes.
Corbyn. Highly likely.
Sturgeon. Yes.
Farron. Yes.
Cameron. Probably not.

What time is the 1922 meetup? The revolver, whisky tumbler and knives need prepping.

Not sure Sturgeon can rely on 2/3. There are a hefty number of nationalists who will either vote out or not at all.

I'm not sure LibDem voters can be divided in to 2/3.

I do remember that he dealt us a pretty crap hand, as usual. Referendum was trumps as I recall.

Dave tells us he will stay (may not be his choice) whatever the result and will negotiate the terms if its Brexit. So if this comes to pass why would you what someone who has patently failed in a previous negotiation negotiating on your behalf again? Isn't that Einstein's definition of madness?

Looks like getting a few hours kip and setting an early alarm may be a sensible strategy. Who will be here at 4.00 am?

Provisional analysis of death registrations in England and Wales show a 5.6% increase in deaths in 2015; the biggest year-on-year percentage increase seen since 1967-68, when deaths were up by 6.3% on the previous year............
An extra 28,189 deaths were registered in 2015 compared with 12 months earlier, increasing from 501,424 deaths in 2014 to 529,613 in 2015.

There were 24,065 more deaths registered in the first three months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014, with 11,865 of these extra deaths registered in January alone, when flu was circulating at its highest levels.

The number of death registrations remained much higher than average until June 2015, before dropping in the rest of the year to nearer the five-year average (deaths in 2010-14).

I hadn't realised there will be twelve regional counts, each with its own result.

They won't all be Remain I reckon

Mike Smithson, an election analyst at politicalbetting.com points out that all the final phone polls showed Remain in the lead, whereas all but one of the online polls show Leave in the lead. One of the methods was wrong, we just don’t know which yet.

The poll also has some interesting party breakdowns. It shows that 68% of Labour voters intend to vote Remain, but only 43% of those who voted Conservative at the general election intend to back Remain. (Politics Live, Guardian)

I have wrestled with my sense of fair play on Twitter. Some of the people I follow who are devoted Labour supporters have been avid Leavers. I've been scrolling quickly past their Tweets, but a couple have really tried my patience.

I only blocked one. Anyone who starts off with 'For Heaven's sake woman' gets short shrift.

Some Kippers on Cif were whining about Lineker being part of the Establishment.
Their view of what being part of the Establishment seems a bit odd, not sure a footballer comes into the category as it is usually described.

I doubt I'll be online because I don't want to disturb Mr citizen's sleep. We'll see. He may stay up, we'll see.

I'm considering kipping on the sofa so as to maintain marital harmony.

We could have a new way of doing exit polls here. Support for "Out" being roughly measured by the number of imported writing implements.

Had to laugh. Two women, mother and daughter, made a great fuss about extracting a pen from mother's handbag in order to vote.

Raised eyebrows and a couple of smirks all round.

Ooooh the conspiracy theorists are going to be out in force tomorrow.

Tousled blond wig, slightly soiled, no longer needed.

North Wiltshire Tory MP James Gray (a passionate leave supporter) says if people vote to remain he will accept “the democratic will of the people”, but only if it is a “reasonable majority” suggestion around 60-40.

Are the Leave campaigners paving the way for the next wave of campaigning if they lose? (Politics Live, Guardian)
