Residents of an Oxfordshire village have voted to leave the United Kingdom after taking part in a symbolic independence referendum. Villagers in Piddington near Bicester were invited to vote on whether to secede from the UK and become an independent state on Tuesday (September 15) after the government announced plans to house 1,256 male asylum seekers at a nearby former military base. The result of the vote, held by Piddington Parish Council, was announced on Wednesday morning (16 September). 312 votes were cast with 285 voting to leave and 26 voting to stay. One ballot paper was spoilt.
