1pm update - another hour closer to the end of the Kingdom

Whilst equities continue to hold moderate gains, it is notable that the Kingdom (the one on the eastern side of the Atlantic) is due to splinter tonight. The loss of Scotland will be a major psychological and financial hit to those south of Hadrian's wall.

Summary

It would seem the younger generation will be highly prone to vote 'YES' to leave, and since most are voting for the first time today (I think 16 year olds can vote today)... that extra few percent look set to make all the difference.

Scotland leaving the United (or should that be Dis-United?) Kingdom is a major issue, but it is nothing compared to the likely implications for the area of Catalonia, in Spain.

A yes vote tonight... will light a spark across the EU.
