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....

Here we go into the last two weeks, with both sides neck and neck.
Brexit got a bit of a bounce in the last week or so, but FT poll of polls still show Remain a nose ahead. Interestly the Remain vote share has only slipped marginally, Brexit seems to have pulled in undecided.
We're coming back to economic issues now. Expect both sides to go for Max Fear.
I prefer a low vote in favour, say a 53% vote in. I can't see Brexit swinging it their way.
How will Brexit voters take the loss? I suspect much harder than if Remain voters were to lose.
Tory Brexiters will be apoplectic with rage, complaining they were cheated and seeking to reck havoc in the next General Election.
Were Remain to lose? well, it's un likely to happen but ...we can bask in the glory days ahead that Boris has promised us. We win either way. Or at least we will not feel the pain so much if we lose.
I would prefer to see the angry old Brexiters suck on their anti depression tablets.
We remain in for economics.

The FT, they only ask those who dosn't have much contact with immigrants,
In the real world its a different matter...

The FT is a poll of polls, the clue is in the title.

Their information is taken from polls ran by others in the real world.

From will10's post--------How will Brexit voters take the loss?---The Remainers have not lost yet and from the antics of John Major and Michael Heseltine along with the threats from Obama, IMF, BOE, Druncker, Merkel, Dimon, Japannese PM, DC, GO and those wonderful luvvies, it appears that THEY won't be too pleased themselves should they lose.

You got me there, yes, anti depression tablets all round then for those, outside UK non voters, if we lose.

Still, should Remain carry the vote, the feeling of hard done by, victimisation, and sheer shit-uponness that the Tory Brexiters will have to vent in public will be epic. And they will make a point of going on and on and on about it.

If Remain lose we, the actual voters in the UK, will just get on with life.

'EVERY' person I've met, when discussing the referendum ARE voting out,
and I'l swear on any book or whatever to that fact.

The only time i've seen anyone who intends to vote remain are in the local
paper 'letter page', and a couple of them were prospective local Libdem/Labour
councillor's.

One of the ladies my wife meets whilst walking the dog of a morning, says she and her husband are going to vote 'Remain'. Mind you, they do own a second home in France.

But that's about it, really.

(Northampton).

Our local MP is Andrea Leadsom and she's for 'Out' too. She is in the cabinet and works in the Treasury Department. Some say, she is 'PM material'.

Hear what you say.

Bristol and surrounding area has only Rees-Mogg and Liam Fox as Brexit MPs.
Other Labour/Tories are for Remain.
Out of 8 mps for Greater Bristol area . 6 are Remain and 2 Brexit. It would be reasonable to assume each mp has taken a view on what way their local voters will swing.

We'll have a surplus of In votes to get us over the line.

So we'll send the rest your way to balance the overwhelming Brexit voters you meet.

Looks like Bristol is backing a dead pony....

The MP for Plymouth Johnny Mercer ran an online ballot on the referendum,
and nearly 70% voted for LEAVE, but on the Sunday Politics program the MP
said he was going to go with remain...So much for representing his constituents.

There's a few of them now saying they will defy the popular vote should it go Leave.


Good luck to them when they try to get re-elected.

So much for Democracy.

If you can believe him? cameron said in PMQ's that if the vote was to
LEAVE then that's what would happen and there wouldn't be any stitch up.

Ho dear..They've now given those who were leaving it till the last
minute to register two extra days.

It was stated the other day that there was still over 7 million eligible voters
not signed up.

It looks blatantly like a planned site crash to facilitate this extra two days
extension, simply because the LEAVE are starting to lead the polls.

The news was reporting on the crash last night and it showed you a counter
and through the day it was in the several thousands sign-ups and then around
10 o'clock it had dropped to the low hundreds, so the sign ups was tailing off.
And yet they find it necessary to extend by two days!!!!....

A paragraph from todays money morning, the last sentence speaks volumes when considering those advocating a Remain vote:-

The EU is a distant, inflexible, unaccountable bureaucratic body, which has suppressed the potential of many of its citizens. We should not be supporting it. Reforming such bodies from within is an impossible task. Better to hasten its demise, so we can start again. Such bodies don’t do anyone any favours – unless you happen to be working for them or receiving subsidy from them.

The ones wanting to sign up are mainly young people who are far more likely to vote IN. There has been several million voters signed up over the last five weeks.

You cannot be so definitive. Probably young but also EU nationals that are not on their local electoral register. Only guesswork.

When are you going to enlighten me about all those mining and exploration companies that you say have fled the TSX for London? Perhaps 5 that anyone has heard of? That can't be too difficult surely.

I wouldn't say 'wanting' to sign up, as i said in post 2804, the counter on
the electorial site was tailing off to the low hundreds, and they've had weeks
to sign up, The remainers will be rubbing their hands in glee..

Yipee!!!!

More time to sign up. ( rubbing my hands in glee)

EU citizens do not have the vote, but many have been sent polling cards and postal votes.
