Been to cast my "Leave" vote today, hopefully wake up tomorrow to the good news that we've won.

I'll be off shortly to do the same. The argument that we can better our position from within is a non-sense, Juncker himself said there would be no improvement on the February deal.

This EU referendum debate has followed much the same lines as the Labour leadership contest when Corbyn got in; every time Bliar and his cronies came out and predicted catastrophe and told members not to vote for him, Corbyns ratings went up and this has followed a similar path (and it was Barack Obama who kicked off the backlash off all people!)

One thing I love about my country is there's a streak of stubbornness running through people, a stubbornness that has evolved over the years, it's why we vote to call a £200m research vessel "Boaty McBoatface" amongst others. I just hope there's still enough hope left in the country to believe we have can do anything when we put our minds to it.

As far as I can tell, it isn't the plan to deport people already here but since the Brexit crew seem to be talking about immigration in the tens of thousands, getting new staff will be nigh on impossible. I have the same concerns for the construction industry - there's a huge shortage of labour in the industry and the majority of site labour is European. House building will become hugely more expensive because of the lack of people and houses will become even more unaffordable not to mention the potential for increased tariffs on the imported material since we won't have the overall bargaining power of being in the EU.

I've got to say I'm very worried about us voting to leave and the significant impact on the economy in general and my industry in particular.[/QUOTE


500% Agree.
Too much uncertainty voting out.
Germany has already said that there will be sweeping reforms within the EU regardless of whether or not the UK remains or leaves.
There are too many uncertainties with Brexit and I am not prepared to gamble the welfare and future of my family on something that cannot be backed up with facts.
As Cameron said you cannot expect to win a football match if you aren't even on the pitch.
The EU is not perfect but we should stay and fight for the reforms we are seeking. It would be foolish to gamble on having the same trade concessions with Europe if we are on the outside as we have have enjoyed on the inside.
We have been through **** coming out of the last recession and attempting to repay years of irresponsible borrowing. For my part I am not prepared to risk going back to square 1
Finally I could never bring myself to be on the same side as UKIP
I say we REMAIN

I found this courtesy of a friend. It is as absurd as the majority of rhetoric (I'm being very kind with that word) that I've heard in the campaigning for this referendum!

I see the losers in this as the politicians, from both parties. The public can see them as they really are. Truly awful the lot of them!

I really believed that it would be an out vote from people I have spoken to but with post like yours beau I hope I am wrong......I think it will be close....

I voted in. However a lot of people I know have voted out.

I think the will be a slight majority (but not much) to the ins.
At which point you can guarantee the cries of "fix", "the vote has been rigged" etc etc etc.

Read that anyone who is a resident of the Commonwealth (provided that had registered) were qualified to vote. Seems odd

Doubt many non UK Comm.residents would have bothered

They have already started. Saw someone on Facebook ranting that they were voting leave but it's not worth it as the result has already been decided. Paranoia to its most deluded degree. If they truly believe that could happen to this country, I suggest they leave and find a better one.

Um, every election I've voted in since the 1980s has had the same format - church halls and primary school rooms, hardboard dividers between cubicles, paper and soft pencils and the outcome has not been the same each time.

Do the conspiracy theorists really believe that some sinister power equipped with a lorry load of rubbers has manipulated the vote in every election for the last 30 years? If they can fiddle with the crosses on the paper at some point between casting the vote and counting surely they could just alter the numbers?!

I certainly hope that sense prevails today - the idea of a country run along the ideals of some of the high profile advocates like Trump / Putin / Farage / Nick Griffin / George Galloway / Tebbitt / Forsyth / Respect Party / English Democrats / BNP / New Communist Party of GB / Marine Le Pen / David Icke / Quentin Letts / Julian Assange and, of course, the man who believes in direct action, "Britain First" Thomas Mair, fills me with horror.

Conspiracy theorists can always come up with something. I'm going to wind down by watching Eurotrash which starts as the polls shut. Took the 3200 for a therapeutic drive this evening, after massive downpours all afternoon (traction control remained on). Boy, that car is a lot of fun! Actually it's safest to hoof it with a bit of steering lock on, because then the TC cuts in. In a perfectly straight line it will quite easily spin up both rear wheels :eek:
