In lieu of Brexit or Bremain, can the rest of the world just vote for genocide?

Overall American President Barack Obama beat all British politicians, receiving 22 votes
Implications unpleasant.
They want the O

I say 50-50, like in Austria. Then a narrow victory for Stay, because the people in charge of counting realize what damage a razor-thin Leave victory would do.
I doubt the counting people would be that sneeki

Scotland will have used the specter of imminent Brexit to stage their own 2nd referendum

I dont know about the legality of forcing a second referendum but much of the argument in favor of staying is lost if the UK is itself leaving.

There isn't even any legality about actually doing what the referendum is about. It's pretty much a giant poll.

The key word being "forcing".  How does the SNP get the British to agree to another?

Get the (fairly likely) result that the EU support proportions for Scotland are quite out of kilt(NPI!)er with those for England. Especially if it's England (and thus dragging the minority remainders of the UK) pointing at Leave, whilst Scotland is clearly a Remain majority.

There's other ways that it could go, of course.

65% is a landslide in this kind of vote. I'm guessing Remain with maybe a 1-2% margin. If it's Leave with a similar margin, I think Westminster might overturn it.
I suspect that if there's a tiny margin like that, whoever loses is going to scream fraud, voters being unfairly influenced etc.
And then both sides will when they inevitably try a second one and it ends up tied instead.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Hope you guys didn't miss the Paxman debate, it was fucking awesome

Also there was some epic roasting, but for you Bremain people who missed it you're gonna want to search for Paxman debate 82 year old speech or something along those lines; if she was in charge of Bremain, the contest would have been over a long time ago.

Thunderstorms have begun, the rains will continue long into the night. Forecasts predict they will continue into the day which does not bode well for turnout :|
Does look pretty cool though
Good luck to everyone!

Being soggy slightly less so

*EDIT
As of 1:41 AM the rain is now so heavy, visibility is 10ft

Looks really awesome and spooky

Heavy weather like this not just makes people likelier to stay at home than vote, but in cases of localized flooding can actually result in people incapable of reaching the ballots irregardless of their voting desire
God this is gonna be moist

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
