It promises to be a long night in European and Londoners directories. The European Union has become adept at leaving people waiting hours and hours of their decisions.
The Europeans are accustomed to long evenings of leaders gathered in endless summits. So it was with Greece in 2015, so it was with the negotiations to David Cameron supported the permanence of the Kingdom in the Union in February.
Tonight, the European Union awaits the decision of the British people, with sure that the effect of the British vote exceed the stain to affect the entire old continent. In brief questions, we explain what is at stake, what can happen and what is happening.
When the results come out?
The night will be longer than in previous referendums. For example, if the Greek vote July 2015, Europe lay already know the outcome. At the time, the polls even closed day and there were surveys the mouth of the polls. Not now.
The UK vote on a working day, and as such, the only polls will close at 22h00. The official results will only be made official after 7:00 am Friday and are not provided for polls to the mouth of the polls.
The institute YouGov forward a affirmative vote online after the polls close, but taking into account the method, the result is not considered credible. This gives an advantage to the UK stay in the European Union (52 percent). Some companies and parties may also have their own surveys, but these data should not be made public.
At the ordinary citizen will be up to wait for the results night inside. The first numbers should be advanced at midnight, with respect to Gibraltar and the Scilly Isles. They are, therefore, very significant results.
Following are already close to 1:00 a.m., London results which, in turn, also can not be extrapolated to the entire Kingdom. In the capital is expected that there is a favorable vote to maintain the European bloc.
In the early hours, the results should be in favor of maintaining the European Union. The difference may already allow some reading but sure only come within night. After 5:00, some media may now proceed with final results. The official announcement should be made already after 7:00 am Friday.
The impatient can go stalking the results as they are leaving. The BBC site is presented as one of the possible options.
is the first time that the United Kingdom vote the Brexit?
No, it’s not. A public consultation took place in 1975, just two years after the British had entered the then restricted European group. In this consultation, more than 67 percent of voters voted to stay.

The country I wondered about staying in the new common economic bloc. To end the doubts, the solution was to advance to the popular consultation. As today, the prime minister defended the permanence. Also last had the executive and party members who were against.
The campaign to stay clearly spent a more friendly, positive and cheerful image. Already the campaign of the output of defenders was full of negative episodes and major divisions. The result brought no doubt:. The United Kingdom was the European bloc
What is the importance of the United Kingdom for the Portuguese economy
?
The British referendum has already affected Europe, having brought doubt and uncertainty to markets. The be achieved, the EU would lose a member of weight and Portugal would also suffer losses.
The UK is historically one of the major trading partners of Portugal. Last year, this country even climbed a position and became the fourth destination of Portuguese products.
Fernanda Fernandes Report, Filipe Silva, Paula Meira
in 2015, Portugal exported goods to the United Kingdom amounting to 3,350 million euros. If we add the value of exports of services, the number doubles. In turn, Portugal imported almost 1,900 million of British products. Ie Portugal exports more to the UK than what matters.
Therefore, some Portuguese businessmen do not hide their concern about a possible exit. They fear a possible economic downturn, given that it is one of the major importers of lusos products.
A study by Global Counsel reveals that Portugal will be the fourth most affected country by a British exit from the European Union.
How did the referendum?
The referendum on or departure from the United Kingdom of the European Union came following a promise that the Prime Minister David Cameron made during the last election campaign.
It was the answer found by the prime minister and leader of the Conservatives to respond to pressure from Eurosceptics within the party, to the growth of UKIP and rising critical voices about the presence of the United Kingdom in the European Community.
After being re-elected head of government, David Cameron began the consultation process of the population. The minister went on to defend the maintenance after having negotiated a new framework for the presence of London in the Union.
What is the question of the referendum?
The question put to the voters and on Thursday appeared on the ballot is this: “The UK should remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”
Throughout Thursday, about 46 million Britons and Commonwealth citizens could answer the question. After 22h00, kick in the 382 counting centers that are scattered around the UK.
So there is a winner, the results are transmitted to regional centers and formally announced by the head by counting, in the Town Hall of Manchester in England.
what happens if the “out” win?
The question was asked numerous times to the political protagonists and the British over the past few months, but no one seems to know truly what will be the impact of the decision not only in the UK and in other member states.
For now, if the British chose to leave 28, which would formalize the request of EU output, under Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon. Then follows a period of trade negotiations, legislative and economic output this.
A process that, at least, should take two years. This, of course, if and when the remaining 27 member states to approve unanimously the British withdrawal.
For the EU, the impact will be immediate, especially from the financial markets will react negatively outside the United Kingdom.
the member states may then move to export less to the British, if they no longer have privileged access to the Single Market.
Migrations, now facilitated may be restricted and even the balance of power between the 27 may change with the departure of one of the Union protagonists.
