Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

i don't believe any of these polls, and nor does the IG indicator
indeed, when it comes to the day, i expect a big swing to "in"
how great a majority that will give "in" i have no idea

grannyboy - 10 May 2016 11:22 - 1675 of 12628

I've got to disagree with your views cynic(1674), but of course
only time will tell..

Dil - 10 May 2016 11:22 - 1676 of 12628

UK bookies still showing a massive odds on that we remain

Ladbrokes remain 1.33
Corals leave 3.5

cynic

agree. I will still be voting out. My mother-in-law at 82 is going to vote for the first time in her life in the referendum. She is voting out. The rest of the family are also voting out although my son who is doing a post grad degree in Global Politics is becoming tempted to vote in after bein determined to vote out.

Dil - 10 May 2016 11:25 - 1678 of 12628

The bookies got the General Election wrong too !

grannyboy - 10 May 2016 11:25 - 1679 of 12628

Yes and Leicester were 5000/1 to win the Premier league.

The LEAVE vote is a lot shorter odds then those..

Dil - 10 May 2016 11:29 - 1680 of 12628

No its not grannyboy :

Leave is

Will Hill 3.4
Lads 3.25
Corals 3.5
Paddy 3.25


Remain is

Will Hill 1.3
Lads 1.33
Corals 1.3
Paddy 1.33


Other bookies are available on request :-)

I don't go with the polls as they were so wrong on the election so only time will tell ,we may have a shock on the percent swing .

MaxK - 10 May 2016 11:45 - 1682 of 12628

And the pols are only targeted peoples, how many will actually turn out to vote on the day?

I suspect the outers have a more determined group behind them, who will turn out regardless of whats on the tele.

Dil - 10 May 2016 11:50 - 1683 of 12628

Agreed MaxK.

Spoke to a group of 18 to 23 year olds Thursday after the elections and not one of them voted because in their words either they couldn't be arsed or they didn't understand what voting for any particular candidate would mean for them.

This is the age group that is supposedly strongest in favour of remaining but in reality are the less likely to turn up and vote.

jimmy b - 10 May 2016 11:56 - 1684 of 12628

They will all be spaced out at Glastonbury on the 23rd.

Dil - 10 May 2016 11:59 - 1685 of 12628

And although no conclusions can be drawn (there were only 12 of them) they were a good random cross section besides only 2 of them being girls.

4 are in uni
1 is in school
4 have skilled jobs
3 have unskilled jobs

Some were drinking alcohol some weren't :-)

Dil - 10 May 2016 12:00 - 1686 of 12628

lol jimmy

aldwickk - 10 May 2016 12:01 - 1687 of 12628

IG Index odds on a out vote have just gone up a tad this morning.

Dil - 10 May 2016 12:03 - 1688 of 12628

When I told my 19 year old daughter to go and vote last Thursday she asked if she could go the next day cos she was a bit busy Thursday !

grannyboy - 10 May 2016 12:04 - 1689 of 12628

Well if those 'remainer's' are so confident then they'd better
put their mortgages on the outcome, lets see how confident they're?

VICTIM - 10 May 2016 12:05 - 1690 of 12628

We want apathy . ( well just for one day )

cynic - 10 May 2016 12:05 - 1691 of 12628

i would very much hope that we get a turnout of >70%

Dil - 10 May 2016 12:08 - 1692 of 12628

If the under 25's could vote by text or via twitter the out campaign would be fecked

Dil - 10 May 2016 12:11 - 1693 of 12628

60 to 65% is favourite cynic
