odds pretty much 1 to 4 in favour of remain now across the board. Same as three weeks ago.

Genuine question - do UKIP go away if remain wins?

I'm no expert, but Remain are not contesting the £350m figure, merely the fact that it excludes rebates. If the facts are as you state, surely they'd be all over it? I seem to remember that David Cameron did say those figures are incorrect sometime back, as did George Osborne.

I think there's a lot of people who will vote remain but aren't very vocal about it. It's the Brexiteers that are pumping out all the hot air and making the most noise.

As do I. I still think there are lots of 'dont knows'. I'd say about 40% are firmly in remain, 40% in leave, about 20% literally don't know or don't care (or both). Its all very well polling these people, but the reality will they come out and vote... Only time will tell.

The government decided to spend £9m quid on a leaflet to go to every UK household, it then had the treasury pumping out wave after wave of fiddled figures for about 2 weeks before the official campaign even started. I don't deny there has been plenty of hot air from the leave side, but at least they haven't been spending tax payers money on it or getting half the civil service to manufacture it. Cameron even said there would be a war! If that isn't hot air, what is?

Genuine question - do UKIP go away if remain wins? If that were the case, then the Remain Campaign should say so- guaranteed at least 90% voting remain at that point

This is my take on things, but rather than being politically/economically/socially motivated, i believe it's purely because many people are just plain scared of 'change' (in my experience) and this vote has been blown out of all proportion. Just as with any General Election, the vast majority of us will notice no change to our lives whatsoever regardless of the result, life goes on. Oh well, sh-t happens.
Time to move forward together. |

I could bizarrely see UKIP becoming much stronger if they lose, particularly if the result is fairly close. Look at Scotland, they voted to remain which you would of thought marked the end for the SNP however what it actually did was galvanise their support and brought together voters from other parties who also wished to break away. This showed via their huge successes in the general elections. In a bizarre way, a (close) vote to remain may actually propel UKIPs popularity. Separate point - I could also see Johnson/Gove and several other prominent out campaigners joining UKIP after the elections.

I blame the Vikings and Normans. English people will always exist but their make-up has been malleable for a very long time now. No doubt in 300 years some English people will be bemoaning change in their society too. Your post should be sent to every remain voter so that they can see the attitudes of the core 'remain' camp. So sorry for bemoaning the rate of change and the lack of power to adapt it within England. You know...England....where the English are meant to live. Never mind, whatever happens to England will eventually happen to crappy Scotland as well.

The British make up has hardly changed in hundreds if not thousands of years. Please stop perpetuating these stupid myths. The recent arrivals represent an unprecedented change to the population. The Romans, the Normans made hardly a ripple in our gene pool and even the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Danes probably only amounted to a few thousands.
