And would you be happy with Boris, Gove and Farrage in charge?

Who said that? I don't equate leaving the EU as an endorsement of the above names.

I didn't vote in the Common Market referendum in 1975 on the narrow idea as to which party/group I should support or not in the few years after it, but rather in the knowledge that this would be a decision which would last for at least a generation, whoever is in charge, so why should I not do so now?

Massive queues for petrol in town. Do people think Brexit will see a jump in fuel prices (because of a hit to sterling maybe?) Could just be coincidence I suppose.

Dear Rhiannon,

You heard it here first, we are not leaving, the human race maybe totally stupid but on this question voters will see through the hype, or they have seen through the hype, the polls show remain, the betting shows remain, hell even this little poll we have shows remain and the sad fact of Jo Cox's death, which has floored many, it certainly floored me, we will remain, the big question after all the fuss dies down, how close, and what does that mean for Mr Cameron.

I think we'll stay too, Gonners, but just as the referendum in Scotland saw a massive jump in support for the SNP I think we'll see the same for UKIP.

Cameron has already announced he will stand down before the next election, so if he wins the vote, it would allow him to leave on a high.

Yes you are right, the sad thing is that UKIP and the SNP only want one thing, UKIP want to leave the EU, SNP want Independence, this is their flaw, for Sturgeon this will hang over her head, I think of myself as a ordinary voter, so if she mentions Independence, I am thinking, you lost, get on with the job of governing Scotland.

For me the big shock in the general election here in Scotland was how well the Tories did but I see that as a backlash at the Independence question, the Labour party got their come uppence because of their complacency, the Labour party here in Scotland have a huge hill to climb, and they will only do that by backing Corbyn and stop being plastic Tories.

Labour really need to do something about that old fellow, I think he's a retired university lecturer or something, who always seems to be pottering about making all kinds of totally irrelevant statements.

Just discovered that there are Brexit branded condoms.

Which is a sentence in need of a punchline if ever there was one...

But they don't need condoms as they are going to withdraw?

Exit. I hope you guys don't bottle it like the Scots did last year. Hopefully it will be the beginning of the end for the EU.

Wondered when you were going to show up on this, ad_o. Yep, many in Europe are pleading for us to leave.

You do realise this vote isn't about any of them don't you?

You are effectively voting not for Gove but for EU bureaucrats, this is your one and only chance.

In the event of an OUT vote Boris would be favourite for Downing Street

Does anyone know how the number of undecideds have changed (or not) over 1) the course of the offical campaign and 2) over the course of UKIP's much longer campaign?

Maybe but over the next 20 years you will have 4 chances to kick the Tories out, you will not be able to vote out the EU bureaucrats.

Sorry Jak but there was/is no actual Brexit strategy. A referendum could be organised at anytime in the future. By which time a strategy and case may be forthcoming.

However, a Remain vote could eventuate in Britain and other EU nations pussing for th eradication of the Commissioners, and the pre-eminence of democratically elected MEPs.  A Brexit vote would make that much less likely as it is generally the smaller nations who have the same debree of antagonism to the Commissioners as Britain.

Hi everyone,

Britain has always been closer, in language and culture, to the US, Australia and Canada than to its European neighbours.   

Not sure how the exit will  affect  your daily lives. Travel to Europe may be affected somewhat. Not sure many Britishers study or migrate to Europe as compared to the US and Australia.

Anyway...good luck folks!  All for the best IMO.  :)

Cheer.
