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.

It was down to 2/5 before they started the fix of moving the registration date.

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.

I think the opposite is true.

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?

Two people who rely on a strong remain vote in order to stay in power saying that the £350 mil figure is incorrect...

Im shocked!

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.
This is a vote against the corporate elite, sadly one that we are losing regardless of whether we're in or out.

Oh well, sh-t happens.




 


Time to move forward together.

Dan,

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.

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.

I'm not saying this to try and persuade as some people will try and have you believe, I'm still undecided - in fact the closer it gets the harder I'm finding it, but would we feasibly see a sharp influx of immigrants before borders are restricted if we vote to leave. Many effects of leaving will take a while to take effect.

That is one of the biggest lies or modern times.

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.

All of this is the nail on the head.

You're both on the money i feel sorry for people thinking the country is going to undergo great change as result of the vote. Even if we vote out in a blink of an eye government will agree to free movement within trade deals. They will appease just enough to keep the staus quo. The little people have no real power. realising that is a hard but necessary truth in life and lets you lend your time to all that you control instead of all that you dont. Some need a reality check not a vote.
