We won't really know until about 5-6am. The smaller areas will be get their results earlier but big cities take a long time to count so their votes come in later.

It's a straight majority. The problem is that we don't know what the magic number is as until each area declares we don't know what the voter count is in each area.

That's the point I am making. We don't know what X is until all the returns are in. It's an absolute count. So, the current returns show 161,744 for leave and 158,537 for remain with 5 out of 382 areas returned.

We will only know how many voted after they have all been counted.

But there are around 43m registered voters, and turn out will be 70%ish.

All it takes to win is 1 vote more than the otherside.

That's a great turnout considering what we've seen so far but the Scottish referendum had a 84.6% turnout. I was hoping for something similar.

Why is that cool? A spoilt ballot doesn't help anyone in this vote when it's an absolute count, rather than seats won.

There will be millions of votes for both sides and very few which X'd both. Just think it would be quite cool to say you were part of the very small number who could be arsed to vote but couldn't decide between the 2 options.

"Ed Milliband on the BBC now, is it his fault? If his brother won the leadership maybe he woukd have won the election and then no referendum

There wasn't a public demand for a referendum. We are only having one because of internal tory disagreements

Well, seems like there was actually eh

There wasn't public demand it was the tory party ploy to head of further ukip support...

so how do you think the Tories got in power?

Well people are keen to vote once a referendum is goiny to happen, but were you banging on your MPs door demanding a referendum before the government announced it?

Tories only have a 12 seat majority in parliament

do you not think that by promising a referendum if they got into power it might just have won them a lot of votes?"

I don't think that that was a deciding factor for most, but maybe.

Yeah like the sodding EU flooding relief fund which the North of the UK would have benefited from earlier this year - bet it would have changed a few perceptions too. Same with the South now.

Funny isn't it, get involved wholeheartedly and you reap greater benefits - don't get involved an elect anti-EU MEPs to represent you, who have poor attendance, and you are likely to get the short end of the stick.

The population of Greater Birmingham is much larger than that of Greater Manchester.

The Birmingham count will be the largest single count nationally.

It's the nature of this count. If a large count returns then the swing jumps drastically. That will narrow as we get more of the counts coming in closer together. That's why I can't quite bear to exit just yet.

Of the 46m eligible voters London has just over 5m and the South East over 6m. Depending on how the home counties vote these could cancel out the largely remain votes expected for London. However, the floods in London may have affected the turnout (reports that some areas are below 60%).
