Will the losers accept the result and move on

There could be some interesting outcomes due to 'foreign' voters such as me. I heard yesterday that there are 2,250,000 people living in Aus and NZ that can vote.
I wonder how many applied for a vote and will return it. That's a very large block.
The polls have just opened in Gibraltar, we are underway.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Quite a few I would think. The High Commissioner has been pretty vocal on Radio and TV about people using their vote.

I think managing expectations is going to be difficult whoever wins.
Not only will you have a huge chunk of voters who will be dissatisfied with the result, you could well have people who have voted the "successful" way, but are then dissatisfied with how the outcome is handled.
For example, if Brexit is successful, many people who have voted out on the grounds of immigration, could be very dissatisfied if they then find out that it makes no difference to the number of people living here.
My personal fear is that the schism in the Tory party will be so great that it struggles to manage the result either way. In the referendum we have in and out Tories, in and out Labour... UKIP is about the only party that is all on the same page. Coming back together after this is going to be difficult.
So this is going to be messy for a whole host of reasons. A close vote per chewy's description will just make things worse.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Some people can accept failure and learn from them, and success at last, but some people not. It all depends on your attitude towards failure.0

My polling station is in the bowls club behind my house: open at 7 and very busy already - its never like this for other elections.
Anecdotal I know but I expect v high turnout.
I wonder if we'll see issues with long queues late near closing and people not able to vote?Left is never right but I always am.0 -

Isn't it the case that as long as they are in the queue to vote, they get in? I don't know for sure, but have heard this.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

There is only one way.
Just say I'm sorry for your loss and move on.
Why! Here's an instruction video

I fear a scotland
Don't worry.
Scotland are not in Europe, and it's quite possible they won't qualify for the next tournament either.
English thugs who want to fight Scottish thugs will just have to use traditional methods instead, like the annual vacation in Blackpool.0 -
You can guarantee SNP won't be happy either way. I am struggling to understand why they want to be independent from the UK, but want to join the EU if we leave.
Whichever way we vote we will never know if it was the "right" way because we will never see the result.
I do believe things will settle down after the vote. I also believe that the EU cannot survive in it's current form, people are beginning to realise that it is a bloated narcissistic dictatorship. It will have to reform whatever happens just to survive, if it does not reform then it will collapse.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
