obviously Gibraltar would vote to remain, it would be one of the few remains of the British Empire, the Spanish version of Hong Kong, 4.1% leave, 95.9% remain, no immigrants there, just expatriates from Benidorm - if it voted to leave then Spain would double the emphasis to eject the British from the region; but if you're going to fully pull the thing apart, and go to a history of myth, Arthur prior to Angevin Empire, i guess you have to give that little scrapheap of pride back too - this referendum is really like watching Gorbachev pulling apart the Soviet Empire in slow-motion, it's not chunky like Kazakhstan, a banoffee pie, but more like what remained of feeding the 5,000 thousand at the last supper.
