The whole vote is a massive scam rig, the in will win even when 99.9% vote out.

Because its not actually a major issue. Whilst people will receive a registration card, you still need to be on the local electoral roll in order to receive a ballot. When you go into the polling station, you hand over the card, they check you against the electoral register, and then if you are on it, you get a ballot.

So even if you've accidently gotten a referendum voting card, you still need to be a registered UK voter, eligible to vote in UK elections, in order to trade that in for a ballot

Doesn't matter who wins, or by how much, the other side will bleat about 'biased liberal/right wing media', rigged votes etc etc.

I suspect when it comes down to it, the In camp will win- people will vote cautiously, for the status quo, especially if they're not sure. Will be close whatever- probably no more than 55-45 whichever way.

Batten down the hatches for the last hysterical shrieking from both sides- latest is that staying in the EU will (somehow) push up housing market- presumably to try and appeal to younger voters. Madness and complete BS arguments and 'facts' from both sides, increasingly nonsensical and crazed!

Quite, because neither side will be able to accept that they 'aren't the will of the people'. The 'Out' campaign already seem to be getting their knickers in a twist, over 'non-UK citizens' receiving polling cards, without remembering that polling stations verify these against the electoral register before issuing a ballot.

Iain Duncan Smith, you'd think, would know how the basic process of voting works... The only successes of the Out and In campaigns have been me realising I don't like the representation of both of them.

Yes indeed. It's all good news, Hoof. City traders are planning for sterling to drop 20% on Brexit and the dollar to go up 20%.

It's going to be great.

Completely agree with that! The ££ is far too strong, so we'll be able to export more. Plus the promised drop in house prices, and (as the leader of the Remain campaign told us) higher wages for workers. Might even be able to get on the property ladder.

Perhaps if we pull out of The EU , then those European countries might start to savour the prospect of ejecting the thousands, if not millions, of British expats who have relocated to their shores over the years.

Unlike you. Detail. Or lack of. You forgot to mention the higher costs for UK importers, the likely steep rise in inflation and interest rates and the extra expense for holidaymaking abroad.

Here to help.

My apologies. It's very hard to keep up with the latest Brexit-armageddon fantasies. Oh yes. It will cost them more to import? They'd better be putting pressure on their representative to put pressure on their governments to put pressure on whoever in the EU to make sure that they don't get the double whammy of reciprocated tariff as well as a weaker £ then, right? If not, I'm sure BMW can sell their shortfall to upcoming EU economic leviathans like Kosovo.

The Swiss uncoupled their franc from the Euro. It hurt a little initially (but not much) and there were the typical stories of how it would destroy tourism etc. It's now a resounding success.

You'll be pleased to know that the audience tonight on the David Cameron's Sky "debate" (he's too chicken to actually debate anyone, and it's clear now why) refused to be bowed by his little doom gloom and falling moon stories. I don't think Remain have it quite wrapped up yet. A few more stories of zombies and volcano eruptions might be in order.

This makes me laugh. The amount of people who say don't use a pencil.

IF and its a massive if, they wanted to cheat the system, they won't have thousands of people with HB2 pencils with a rubber on the end.

Indeed. They'll just massively overspend and rig the postal votes. Think of it as the perfect union of the 2016 General Election Tory expenses fraud and "service as usual" Tower Hamlets 240% election turnout.

(though anyone seen today Nick Clegg is in the shi'ite now, for dodgy expenses expenditure?)

I bet he doesn't get half the grief Dave got tonight. It was as if they were giving him a hard time because he'd changed his view on our EU membership for an easier 2-3 years of self preservation.

The ready for it stance made me laugh. Reminded me of Hugh Laurie playing the prince with the thespians in the Macbeth episode of Blackadder III. What a t1t. I won't be sad to see this backtracker leave No. 10.

He was in The Sweeney with Ray Winstone.

There'll be some vacancies for the unemployed youth if we cut the low skilled migration numbers and I'm not talking about salad leaf pickers or NHS workers.

Unemployed do have to prove they're applying for work if people have forgotten. If there are more vacancies they might actually lose their defiant fight against employment and get a 40 hour job.

Quite funny watching people like Kermit8 gobble up everything Cameron tells them when they told Tory voters at the last election not to... erm... gobble up everything Cameron tells them.

Funny hearing Dave claim his reforms are of any significance when in reality they're the sort of things we can refuse as and when. The benefits reform is a slight improvement but it won't reduce the 1 million migrants every 3 years, especially once the living wage comes in.

Both campaigning sides have been a monumental disgrace peddling out fantasy figure after mistruth after fantasy figure etc.

See 'Britain and Europe. For Richer or Poorer' presented by Laura Kuenessberg (BBC) for perfectly neutral and explorative account of how our political leaders have attempted to pull the wool over the electorate's eyes; as well as economic ramifications of ins-and-outs. I learnt more from Laura than from Boris & Osborne (both of whom deserve P45s):
