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....

You have to realise that Farage is hated by Labour. He would have been a terrible leader for Leave as it would have alienated the Labour supporters that wanted to leave. I voted Leaved and as a Conservative I hate him as well. Cameron gave a referendum for many reasons. There had been a Eurosceptic part of the Conservative party for years. The referendum was a method of healing that sore. Cameron thought the same techniques that were used in the Scottish referendum could be used. Cameron didn't think he would get a clear majority and that the Labour vote would collapse so totally in Scotland. It was also a way to stop UKIP getting too strong by nullifying their call for a vote to leave.

Is there any indication of turnout yet?

There will be no exit polls. The turnout won't be able to be calculated until all polls have closed and the boxes have been sent to the counting centres. Then the totals per polling station will be added up at the centre and reported to the central control. When all the counting centres have reported they will have turnout. It could take quite a time.

Thanks.
But what I meant was there any indicators of raw numbers, not what they voted for.
ie, busy, brisk, slow, dead.

That is for the raw numbers. What they voted for will be maybe 2am onwards and a final result in the morning.

We've just voted, long queue's in each station so looks like highish turnout.

Cameron didn't believe that he'd get a majority when he said he'd hold
a referendum, and was expecting another coalition government, and in
the process saving his skin having to have one, but the final results put
the kibbosh on that plan, because he thought the Libdems would have the
referendum promise annulled if they wanted their support.
Camerons a snake oil salesman, always has been always will be, and it
shows your(Haystacks) judgement when he says he dosn't like Nigel Farage
when its Nigel Farage who tells it like it is...
Its a fact that that upsets some people..Those who lack any kind of judgement
in a persons character, as in their choice with sycophanting about cameron!!..

As to been hated by Labour(party), who's bothered about that?, but there
has been plenty of past Labour voters coming over to UKIP..

Fred it's not changed over the years it's still one man one vote which explains why you don't vote.

Jeremy Corbyn is hated by just as many Labour voters as Farage imo.

A high %age of remainiacs are rich luvvies and big business who have no idea about life for the average person.
Whatever the result is tomorrow we shall all have to accept it, should it be LEAVE then I expect a huge sell off in stocks and the pound which will hit our pockets for a time, but there is a much bigger picture then monetary value (unless you are a remainiac) at stake here.

I have had about 8 emails from the Leave campaign reminding me to vote. Just had one from Boris asking for a last push.
