The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
People are so weird to me. I mentioned this vote to some people at work, and none of them had a hint of an idea what I was talking about. A moment that will have tremendous impact on the way the future unfolds. Macro level history in the making, regardless of the outcome.
How is your life made better or worse by tracking events you have no say in and will have very little impact on your day to day life? Why do you think your way of living is better than those who are occupied by other concerns? Because all I see yoru post as is one big self congratulatory slap on your back for keeping abreast of international politics. Do your possible blindspots in international news, maybe South African politics or events in Hong Kong and China make you a bad person?

The person that runs this site is from the UK. This is his first tweet after polls closed.
There was a survey done of how you see the candidates as Hollywood characters. Remainders saw Boris as Homer Simpson while Leavers saw him as James Bond. The world has gone mad.
I honestly don’t understand section 30. What I’ve read about it gives me the impression that London has the sway to prevent a referendum, but a lot of the analysis reads as if said referendum is now inevitable.

Sounds like scotland won enough seats and will hold another vote for Independence and actually leave now so they can stay in the EU, yea?
Westminster (England) have to approve the vote and under the torrid the chances are slim.
While true within the constitution, they’re already readying a legal challenge. UN charter Premise being every country has the right to self determination free of the dominion of another.
They’re being taken out of the Eu against their will. Eu has signaled they’ll be fast tracked back in. Especially now given Westminster giving them so much hassle last three years.
