Brexit, the longest for Europe day. “Leave” or “Remain”, with 46.5 million British urns – The Republic

The longest day for Europe. Today Britain chooses whether to stay in the European Union or vote for the Brexit and exit. Brussels President Jean-Claude Juncker Commission warns: “Who is out, it’s out, no other compromise is possible.” The premier David Cameron , together with his wife Samantha, has already gone to the polls to vote in London “Remain”. And the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn went to vote in favor of the EU permanently. Market tension: if Brexit he fears the “Black Friday” of the pound, but also of the Old Continent Bags.

open Urns . The polls have opened at 8 am (Italian time) and you can vote up to 23. The vote also is responsible for the weather alert: British authorities have issued various alerts for possible indondazioni due to the torrential rains which for days fall to the United Kingdom. Citizens were advised to take precautions, especially in London and in areas of Kent, Surrey and Sussex, as well as in East Anglia, where were announced delays in rail services. In London’s already it raining and it is expected that within a few hours of rain will fall an amount equal to that which falls in an entire month. P art of metro network and that of the urban trains were blocked, while firefighters have registarto an increase in requests for help. A situation that could make it difficult access to polling stations in some areas.

Different situation in Scotland, where the sun shines and the turnout at the polls is good. High the percentage of votes cast by mail. The prime minister Nicola Sturgeon was photographed on her way to vote early this morning in Glasgow.

There will, officially, exit polls although it is likely that in the early hours of the night between today and tomorrow will come out directions and guidelines. The first official results are expected at dawn on Friday, and by 8 you will know whether the United Kingdom will remain in the European Union or will detach himself from it, in a process which, however, according to analysts and experts, will last from the two to seven years. But the consequences of a possible exit from the EU will still be felt immediately, because other nations of the Old World and especially the anti-Europeans of all countries seek to exploit, whether it will be in their favor, the British results. long lead time for the possible output, partly because Britain will in fact negotiate with all states bilateral agreements Europeans once established the success of the “Leave.”

Repubblica.it follow live, throughout the night, the counting with a special that will include in addition to information on the results as they become available even comments and audio and video connections with the signatures of the newspaper and our correspondents in European capitals.

The number of voters . The games are closed, the future of Europe is now entrusted to the moods and the moods of the British. Are 46.5 million voters called to account ‘Leave’ or ‘Remain’ in the referendum on the EU.

election campaign to poison the two opposing Tory leader, David Cameron and the former mayor of London, Boris Johnson . The last cartridges of an election campaign to the poison were fired yesterday. First the two dioscuri-Tory rivals: Prime Minister David Cameron, “Champion” Remain, and the former Mayor of London Boris Johnson, the man flag of “Leave” in the media, but also the suitor shadow chairside Downing Street. Boris has called ” insane ” alarmism Cameron on the disastrous consequences of a Brexit , when she was summoned by Prime Minister the risk of a new world war in Europe in case Britain’s exit from the Union. Johnson went on to reject rumors that the support to the campaign of “no” would be a decisive step towards the challenge to the leadership of the party. He would also reassured his friend Dave telling him: “Whatever happens after the referendum you must stay in your place.”

The final appeals . Cameron, who to this referendum has opened the doors for internal political calculations, he addressed his final appeals in a flurry of interviews in the newspapers, but also among the people in his constituency in Oxfordshire and among young people of a school , the generation that could have the most to lose from the cut: Britain – insisted like a mantra – is and will be “more prosperous, stronger and more secure” if it remains “in a European Union reformed.” But he is ready to “accept the instructions of the people,” he added.

Far politically one thousand miles, but in the same boat Remain, even the radical leader of Labour, Jeremy Corbyn, was heard yesterday . To say no to Brexit in his own way: “We vote Remain to defend jobs and workers’ rights,” he said, and then “change Europe from within.” The attempt of the last hours of the pro-EU was to nail the rivals of Leave – focused in recent weeks to ride a high rate of populism dossier such as the containment of immigration – the Nigel “extremist” platform Farage : the tribune UKIP, that the divorce from Brussels made a reason for living, and last night (encouraged by some recent surveys which indicate a head to head, but with a slight advantage for Leave) claims to hear. “victory” fragrance

Conservative Eurosceptics . Eurosceptic Conservatives led by Johnson and Minister of Justice Michael Gove tried as opposed to distance themselves from the uncomfortable traveling companion and, at least in recent days, to lower a bit ‘tones: especially after the killing of Jo Cox, the Labour MP champion of European migrants and integration that just yesterday, the day that was supposed to take 42 years, was commemorated in Trafalgar square, in Yorkshire and in various cities of the world in an atmosphere of emotional tribute to his figure, and to his ideas.
“Independence Day”, but the leaders are divided Leave . For his part, Johnson, leader of the conservative pro-Brexit, getting off the bus at the edge of which has campaigned around the kingdom, he has once again denied that he had winked to UKIP slogan, let alone to have fueled a climate “hate” in the country, as he reproached in last TV debate with the BBC his successor on the London citizen bench, Sadiq Khan, Labour and son of immigrants. “It is not true, I do leverage on optimism about the future of Britain and its people,” reiterated the blond former mayor: exit from the EU mean just “take back control of our businesses, and our immigration democracy”. But in the end he did not fail to adopt the same word order of Farage, calling for today’s dream of a “Independence Day” in the United Kingdom ( “nonsense,” replied Cameron).

The symbol numbers . The numbers-symbols of the opposing sides are meanwhile two: Remain for the 4300 pounds a year would lose every British family for the consequences of a Brexit ; Leave for the 350 million pounds that Britain would save a week. Two digits both questionable: the first because it is purely hypothetical, the second because calculated without scruples net of huge profits that the island derives from membership in the club of 28. Profit is aware shows if only a significant part of the world the second of which remain within the EU “is good for business, good affairs of the kingdom, as confirmed by the appeal in extremis published in the Times as 1,285 top managers of many British companies (1.75 million total workers) to employment, is good for the country. ” Shared belief to the last of the heads of financial institutions and Western governments, including Matteo Renzi, author of an open letter to the British Guardian. Today the weather expected to weather the storm, at least in London. Then the sun will shine again.

The latest polls. Two last-minute surveys, disseminated in the imminence of the opening of the polling stations for the British referendum on the Brexit , give the opposite of yes EU (Remain) ahead of that of no (Leave): YouGov by a whisker, with 51% against 49, while ComRes more significantly, 54% to 46. a few hours before midnight, two other institutions had instead given slightly head Leave. The data of the last survey, by Ipsos-Mori, completed yesterday as required by law, are expected in the morning.

The Italians living in the UK . In London, live, study and work half a million Italians, it is the largest community of our compatriots abroad. Only in 2015 in 57 thousand they have applied for “national insurance number”, the British equivalent of the tax code, needed to work in the UK. To date though, and what we do not know precisely rights may retain in case of Brexit . If he wins the “leave” option, favorable output, the United Kingdom should begin negotiations with the 27 EU member states to define the conditions of the Brexit and also the status of European immigrants in Britain depend on the outcome of this process. During this period, the United Kingdom, although it will no longer take part in the European decision-making, will be bound to comply with the European treaties. In the worst scenarios, EU citizens must apply for a visa to stay in Britain. This visa will likely be linked to the work and the risk is that in case of unemployment can be withdrawn. Also with regard to the social and health care we do not know what rights will be maintained for European and Italian citizens in case of Brexit . If European residents in Britain will be treated as non-EU citizens, then also for Italians you will no longer have access to public funds for unemployment benefits or tax cuts. For students will increase tuition fees at British universities. Supporters of the Brexit insist that European workers already in Britain will get the chance to stay there, but, writes the Guardian, many immigration experts are skeptical about.
