As the results rolled in The Night , the response lightning came quick online.

In a partisan Facebook groups, the results were cheered or jeered - as you might expect, depending on the manner in which the groups sit. This post is a great anti-British EU-exit group was typical:

outlet Meanwhile, in a large pro-British EU groups, there is a feeling of "job done", and even a note of sadness, at the end of The Campaign :

And in Scotland, pro-independence groups, the SNP cheered the rising assets:

While these partisan groups, as a rule, are "echo chambers", where any large extent, groups focused on local areas, a mix of voices that give rise to lively debates have agreed more.
