Given how evenly the polls are all split, half the country will be "fools" no matter what happens today.Darlo_Pete wrote:So half the country are fools? Looks like a long night tomorrow night.Earl_Lee_Dawes wrote:Anyone who votes to leave is a FOOL.

Re: EU Referendum
Indeed - I think whatever happens people need to see the virtues of the other argument and make it work as best we can. no point making excuses over why it went one way or another.

Re: EU Referendum
Do the bookies know something everyone else doesn't?
Majority of them now have Remain at 1/6 (with some at 1/7). Leave is 4/1 (with some at 9/2).
Personally I hope that there is a significant distance between the two side (at least 10%) so that it feels conclusive. If it is 51/49 then there will be pressure to rerun the vote in a couple of years.

Re: EU Referendum
Have yet to come across anyone eligible who isn't voting - should be a really good representation and turnout...
I am sure I read before some polling stations have called out more people have voted before 9am today than through the entire day at the general election.
Have no idea what is making bookies so confident one way or the other. I get an absolute split of those I've asked.

Re: EU Referendum
5-1 now for leave - seriously considering arbitraging my remain bet.
The betting's swinging towards Remain because of the release of an Evening Standard/Ipsos Mori poll which had a 10% swing to remain (was +5 Leave now +5 Remain).
One more poll to come from You Gov later.

Re: EU Referendum
Bankers and hedge fund managers have commissioned private exit polls and the pound is doing very well on the back of what they're seeing, so the bookies will be following that.

Re: EU Referendum
2 teenagers at work are eligible to vote, but aren't going to do so, as they don't know enough about the subject!!

They're doing the right thing. I wish it was limited to people who had done proper research.Darlo_Pete wrote:

I spoke to a colleague this morning who is voting remain because "it makes them feel part of a bigger world". After I shared various reasons why I am voting leave, they said "Oh, they're good reasons, I hadn't thought of that. You're the first person to have given good reasons."
The ignorant are the ones that will keep us in, not take us out as the Remain camp like to smear.
Re: EU Referendum
I think that last part probably only applies in the event of a Remain vote. If Remain wins by a narrow margin, the campaign for a second referendum will effectively start tomorrow, and may be sped up by a change in Tory party leadership (which might happen with a marginal victory). A narrow Leave win would be final I'm sure - again, the inevitable leadership change to a pro-Brexit PM would make a 2nd referendum less likely, and it's not exactly something you can easily go back on regardless of leadership.Magical Quakers wrote:Do the bookies know something everyone else doesn't?

Re: EU Referendum
I can see the political landscape changing after this similar to that which happened in Scotland after 2014. I hope it does, anyway.

Re: EU Referendum
It is definitely going to be an interesting few months in the Tory party whichever way it goes.
Leave is probably the easiest as it means DC departs and BJ arrives.
Remain means DC will stay on 'for a bit', but BJ may struggle to get in as leader given his anti-EU stance. Guess that means GO gets to be PM by default....
What that does to the electorate probably goes with that and the actual %'s that happen today.

Re: EU Referendum
I don't disagree that this will happen, Nigel Farage will never stop banging his drum and the mainstream parties will always see an EU referendum as a means to entice UKIP voters.Hawkeye wrote:A narrow Leave win would be final I'm sure - again, the inevitable leadership change to a pro-Brexit PM would make a 2nd referendum less likely, and it's not exactly something you can easily go back on regardless of leadership.
I think a referendum is eligible if there is a material change in position from what you have voted for. I actually completely agree with Nicola Sturgeon that IF Scotland votes majority IN for the EU that is solid grounds to hold another Scottish independence referendum.
By the same token IF there is an EU Army created (because to me that is the point of NATO), or there are material changes in the way the EU operates that would be grounds for the UK to have an EU referendum.
The acceptance of new countries into the EU, based on already pre-defined criteria is not a material difference or change for me.
Re: EU Referendum
Remain have won this.
Gutted.
This was the last opportunity to regain our identity. England, as I'd known it, is well and truly dead. Fuck this country.
For the first time, I'm glad I'm closer to the grave than the cradle.

As Mike Smithson of Political Betting said earlier today:
If LEAVE does manage to win it'll be a far far bigger polling disaster than at GE2015

Re: EU Referendum
A young bloke at work today was ranting on about the only way to vote was to remain within the EU. Then he realised he wasn't registered to vote, priceless.

Re: EU Referendum
I wouldn't say they are snide comments. I am genuinely concerned about the lack of progress and I like nearly everybody else on here, wants what is best for the club and that is a move back to Darlo. People don't like what I say, because I ask awkward questions, which don't seem to be answered or the replies are ambiguous and don't say what is happening.lo36789 wrote:What a fool.

Didn't see your reply to this one a few pages back, Pete. Wasn't too fussed about prodding you about this, but your last post made me chuckle when I remembered you didn't reply to this one.Hawkeye wrote:Genuinely curious about specifically which claims you're referring to, Pete.

Re: EU Referendum
Off topic now. Your questions aren't awkward they just aren't asked to the people who can answer them. You'd be as well mouthing off about the referendum without being registered to vote.Darlo_Pete wrote:People don't like what I say, because I ask awkward questions, which don't seem to be answered or the replies are ambiguous and don't say what is happening.

I hope that whatever the result, that the losing side accept defeat graciously and we can move on. Who else is planning to stay up tonight and watch the results? I'm up tonight, bit of a bugger that I couldn't get tomorrow off!!
