    Well said. I was going to go incognito on this as I know politics can shape a person's view of you before they know you (yep I'm a chicken), but this is bang on.

    DTLW for PM and next Saints boss ;)

    A picture of Tony Blair saying Remain should sway all the uncommitted.

    Tony Blair is the remain version of Farage and that is why he was off the screen as soon as he had decided to try and wade in.

    This spreadsheet analysis is quite interesting, detailing down numbers and percentages for every constituency so you can find yours there. The totals predict 48% for remain

    EDIT: I am wrong there it is a breakdown based on a result of 50/50 in England and the 48% is for the last region on the spreadsheet. lol

    p.s. Southampton is 51.82% remain, Portsmouth is 47.69% remain, Lincoln where I live is 48.72%:

    TBH if the vote is very close (whichever wins), all parties should pay attention....because half the population is unhappy. It would be better if there was an outstanding majority for one or the other.

    We're British. Half the population is always unhappy (see any football thread for confirmation).

    I want to leave, but I would be happier to be beaten by a large number than a small number. I would accept that because this is a democracy. I hope both sides pay attention if this is close which it looks like being.

    Its obviously a sham referendum to appease the increasingly xenophobic British population. There is no way any government in their right minds would put such a crucial decision in the hands of the (generally) poorly informed poorly educated British public.

    What can't the BBC report?
    * The BBC stops short of actually encouraging people to vote.
    * While the polls are open, it is a criminal offence for anyone, not just broadcasters, to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in the referendum, where that is based on information given by voters after they have voted.
    * The BBC can't report anything emerging from exit polls (which, by definition, are asking people how they actually voted), although the broadcasters have not commissioned any exit polls for the referendum.
    * No opinion poll on any issue relating to the referendum can be published by broadcasters until after the polls have closed.

    Someone should tell BBC News because this morning they have been talking about the Opinium poll that put Leave 1% ahead. 45L/44R/9undecideds

    It's a no brainer for me.

    I detest the European Union's FIFA-like mentality, but running away and hiding isn't the answer. We must stand together, unite and continue to help those in need.
    For morality, economy, stability and decency I will vote to remain.

    That will be a battle afterward. Cameron has already said he will trigger article 50 immediately which basically is a threat. Leave don't want to automatically trigger it, they want to assess the situation before actioning it.

    By saying what he has about triggering it immediately he is suggesting that it won't go through parliament and I am not sure that he can do that anyway.

    I think they said on the BBC that we should know tomorrow/over night.

    The result should be announced about 7.30 tomorrow morning and Cameron address the nation about 10am. That is the result of the referendum though and we will have to wait and see what the "elite" actually decide that result means for a while.

    I don't think much will be actioned for a month (probably a year) if we vote to leave. Other countries will be involved in discussions because the silly threats that have been made by the EU and others would harm their own countries and they will all want to minimise a Brexit effect on them, especially Germany where many industry bosses have said they want Britain to remain a tariff free arrangement whether they agree to EU policies or not
