Yay, another referendum thread ! But please no more rehearsing of the arguments in this thread, just consideration of the results.

First question though is ... How long are folk going to watch/listen, and which channel ?

Me - I shall probably watch BBC1 mainly because I rate Kuenssberg, and I shall probably wait for the first few results - the very first are expected to be Sunderland and Wandsworth and it might be interesting to get an initial feel for London versus the Rest of England. If after a dozen or so results the outcome seems clear either way then I shall hit the sack.

This. I've cast the one vote I had; it's in the lap of the gods.

Sure I can get that but I normally do something similar at GE's. This referendum is different to a GE but I've voted and I'd like to see how the results pan out

The Sunderland result should tell is a lot so it may be worth staying up until 12.30.

I'll be keeping an eye on the BBC too. Whilst I'm not particularly confident, I'm hoping for a repeat of shocked looking presenters as the results come in, a la last years GE.

Yes, it was like the world's biggest Labrador had let rip in the BBC studio that night.

IDS is doing his best to fill the 2h+ until there is any actual thing to report.

Anyone know the tolerance for a recount?

If the result is really close at what point will all the papers have to be recounted?

IDS looking sheepish NF thinks remain have edged it BJ and 84 out MPs, saying DC has duty to continue.

Draw your own conclusions.

There's no allowance for a national recount, but recounts can be requested at the local level and it's up to the returning officer to decide if it should happen or not.

Whatever side you voted for, ITV and the Beebs coverage of the vote is dire.
