How the UK voted

For some reason, I woke up extra early this morning, well before my alarm. As soon as I came to and noticed the time, I immediately reached for my phone to pull up Twitter and see what happened with the UK referendum. And frankly, I was shocked to see that they had voted to leave the EU. 

Once I saw what had happened, I then went to my computer and started looking for maps of the voting results.

According to these regions, only Northern Ireland, Scotland, and London voted to remain. If we get a bit more granular though, the map turns into this:

Not surprisingly, it is London and other big cities (remain) vs. the rest of England (leave). Here’s another case of urban divide.
