I don't know what to take from this at all:
Brexit Party gain 31.6% but UKIP lose 24.2% - a net gain for the 'obvious' Brexit party of 7.4%.
But meanwhile the most active Remain parties Lib Dems, Green and Change UK have a net gain of 21% between them...
The 'middling' parties (with very split opinions within their party on Brexit) of the Conservatives and Labour lose 26.2% between them.
I'm tempted to say that overall that is a clear swing towards Remain really, but it's still difficult to be sure.
Yeah it does look like remain performed better than pollsters expected. Even factoring in lower turnout in Brexit areas you're probably looking at 53% or 54% pro remain in a referendum based on last night's figures. Who knows what would happen on the day though.
