LONDON (Sputnik), Anastasia Levchenko – Britons went to the polls on Thursday to decide on a referendum that will decide whether or not the United Kingdom remains in the European Union.
Overall, more than 453,700 (about 52 percent) are in favor of leaving, while over 425,700 (about 48 percent) are in favor of staying thus far.
"The biggest change from this referendum is not what is happening in the United Kingdom, it's what's happening across Europe. We now see in Denmark, Netherlands and even Italy that up to 50% of populations want to leave the EU."
He expressed hope that his sense that the Remain campaign would win the Thursday nationwide vote in the Untied Kingdom was wrong.
"My sense is that, and i am not conceding now, but my sense is that it's the government's registration scheme… is what tips the balance. I hope i am wrong. But either way… we had an amazing campaign. Whatever the result, we will win this war and get our independence and our borders back."
Farage also said the Leave victories in UK regions that have Labour Party support are predictable.
"These are the Northern, Labour parts of the country, who are profoundly eurosceptic. I do not know what the result is going to be tonight, "Farage told reporters, commenting on the victory of Outers in Sunderland, Swindon, Broxbourne and Kettering so far.
South Tyneside and North Antrim have also voted to leave.
The final results will be announced on Friday morning.
