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 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 .

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.

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.

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

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 :-)

lol jimmy

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

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 !

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

We want apathy . ( well just for one day )

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

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

60 to 65% is favourite cynic

what was t/o for the last 2 GEs?

When i was 18 i wasn't to aware about politics, i just voted the
way my parents/grandparents voted, thankfully I learnt over the years,
and how those who were supposed to be there to represent you are
quite the opposite and are there in most cases for their own benefits
or ideology/projects...

"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 !"

Dil You should have added an incentive for your Daughter's consideration.. like you ain't interested in being a bank of mum & dad going forward if she don't vote -):

cynic the last two elections t/o were..

2010 UK 65.1%
2015 66.1%

What was the turnout for the last €uropean election in blighty?

Got it:


Turnout = 35.6%


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament_election,_2014_(United_Kingdom)

The t/o in the European elections are usually between 32.5%-38.5%.

The t/o in 2014 was 35.6%
