LIVE BLOG: Britain 'Brexits,' Sparking New World Order

Leave campaigner Boris Johnson, the tousle-haired former London mayor, didn’t let up on the day Britons are voting in the Brexit referendum with his scathing attacks on his fellow Conservative and the country’s Prime Minister, David Cameron.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, often seen as the “house journal” of Britain’s Conservative Party, the colorful and controversial Johnson accused David Cameron and the Remain campaign of “damaging” Britain with their “completely unnecessary” campaign of fear.

He said there “has not been a shred of idealism” in Cameron’s campaign and urged voters to “do the right thing and believe in ourselves and take back control.” “Our campaign is about self-belief,” he added.

With most opinion polls showing the contest a close run thing, Remain officials are becoming anxious over the turnout in southeast England and London. They need a high turnout in the British capital, which is pro-Europe. But torrential rain overnight, which has caused flooding in the southeast could impact turnout. And more stormy weather is expected later today at about the time the working day is coming to a close – an important time for workers to cast a vote.

An average of opinion polls conducted in the last few days has the Remain vote at 51 percent and Leave at 49 percent. Pollsters say that is within the margin of error – hence a statistical dead-heat. But they are nervous about how accurate their polls are – much of their polling has been conducted online. Without a dataset to compare their results with – the last referendum on the EU was too long ago in 1975 – pollsters acknowledge their polls could be wildly inaccurate

The pollsters were completely wrong last year with their projections for the 2015 general election. Some analysts place more faith in betting odds, arguing bookmakers are better at predicting than pollsters. The bookmakers have the Remain camp wining today’s #Brexit referendum.
