My theory is that all four countries in the UK voted against Westminster / London / the City (and not against Brussels). Only London itself (and a handful of sympathetic city centres) voted in favour of London.
If that is anything like true then if there is to be a general election this year a former Mayor of London would not be the best choice as a party leader!

"Add to that the element of xenophobia... ".
There it is, the predictable suggestion that anyone voting leave must be a racist. That is the standard accusation made by the remain camp. An accusation that is offensive and insulting to over half of the electorate.
At least now Britain HAS a future. If left to the remain camp we would cease to be a nation and would become a small offshore part of a European dictatorship.
"Element of xenophobia" = "anyone voting leave must be a racist". Yes of course, that's exactly what that sentence meant. Thank you for clarifying that.

In amongst all the mixed & hyped messages and the division and fears this whole (to my mind unnecessary) process has generated; one fact seems to have come through which is that whilst, clearly, not all those who voted leave are racist, most, if not all, racists voted leave. This was clear well before the start of the campaigns and if this means that some of the racist mud sticks to you non-racists....tough, suck it up.

Tripe!
I'm amazed at how many lefties accuse out voters of being racist whilst they have their Golliwog on the mantle and have a "chinky" for tea at the weekend.

Does that mean that I can happily refer to all remain voters as traitors willing to sell Britain out to the EU? Or maybe refer to all remain voters as collaborators intent on seeing Britain invaded. By comparison, I consider being called a racist quite a compliment.
Hi DC - Sorry I don't understand your logic, all I was saying was that this was a 2 horse race with 3 jockeys and if observers got confused over the identities of the two jockeys on the leave horse, they can't really be blamed, the 2 jockeys benefited from each other's support and were clearly happy to make the most of it.
Had we had had two questions "leave/remain on non-xenophobic grounds" or "leave/remain on xenophobic grounds" and rightly chucked away the ballot papers for the 2nd, the result may well have been different.
Two things appear to be becoming clearer today.
Firstly Juncker, Obama & other leaders outside the UK envisage & hope to see a United States of Europe emerging quite quickly. The UK will no longer be hindering that process from within the EU.
Secondly if BoJo wins the Tory leadership election in September he does not plan to hold a general election before negotiating Brexit. He believes he is mandated to negotiate Brexit by the referendum result.
What might happen in the Labour party is much less clear.

Britain has a future, it seems that the Labour Party does not. Corbyn has been divorced twice so by now he must be used to being told "for God's sake man just go".
