Are people really taking the polls seriously still? Seriously? Because last time I checked we aren't living with Labour and SNP coalition in a hung parliament and Ed Millaband isn't Prime Minister! All we can take from the is that it seems very close.

So, nothing in the world will ever change. The EU will continue as it is, establishments will regard the referendum as a token little opportunity to appease the people, reforms will never be made, the elite will get more powerful and the little people ever ignored.
One chance, just one chance to change things, and nobody bothered. Instead everyone worrying too much about what might happen for a year or two rather than forever. Obviously, people love being dictated to by self serving unelected bureaucrats, so crack on! I'm going to enjoy telling people "I told you so". Yes, I'm bitterly disappointed and I will get over it. But what a truly gutless and consumed country we've become. |

Well I am going out to put my X down as Tony Benn's vote tomorrow, as I did 40 years ago.
Others will have different reasons, for and against, across the country. Millions of votes piling up will decide it. For now. |

The status quo always wins in the UK. I have never had any doubt Remain would win.

continues "The other big saving grace for the Leave campaign is that the ComRes fieldwork took place over several days, and actually started as long ago as Friday - so these numbers aren't any more up to date than any of the other polls we've seen today or yesterday." |

Remain haven't won yet.
Let's wait and see, shall we, before we get despondent? Just go and vote, and you'll have done your bit. |

This one has the same options for the whole country. So 'in theory' it should be easier to estimate percentages. |

Polls are really all over the place. Clear leads for Remain with the phone polling but leads for leave in online polls. One method has to be wrong...

Well said, Wizzywick. Well said.

Yup. Nothing brave about Britain anymore. I wonder would the French vote to get Out?
We are all still here. Britain survived. I think, if Brexit loses that will be the last ever opportunity Britain gets to remain as a pure Sovereign state. It will devastate me to see this country undermined to become an insignificant region of an imperialist socialist superstate. I often wonder, should we find ourselves in a situation like the 1940's where the wartime communities stuck together and sacrificed so much for the benefit of their country, that these days, those sacrifices would not be forthcoming because people really do, and this saddens me, put themselves first. We are a "me, me, me" country where what suits "me" is the way I will vote and f*** the country, I couldn't care less. These same people will then pretend to assume that our ancestors "died for their freedoms". Well, yes they did, but they wouldn't expect those freedoms to mean surrendering our country to foreign bureaucrats who we didn't even vote for. Well, I hope your money in your bank accounts are safe and snug. After all, that's why people are voting to remain. Me? Well, I haven't got any money so my vote is going to be based on the future democracy and preservation of our sovereignty for ALL British citizens, for now and the future. This one chance was lost to make a difference in the world, to tell the establishments, "NO! We don't like how it's going." But instead we threw that chance away and decided to say to the corrupt, to the powerful bankers who caused the global crash in 2008, to the elite, to the arrogant establishment that in honesty, just carry on. We want more of the same! So, here we are. Getting more of the same and forever. |

Indeed. How many were polled between the 17th - 20th? Because we saw a slight swing back to remain over that period.
So the poll isn't really up to date is it? |

I have just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow on the BBC. The forecast for London and the south east is truly dreadful - thunderstorms and heavy rain almost the entire day with the worst of it around both rush hours with a risk of significant flooding. Not sure how that might affect turnout. The only break is around lunchtime and after 9pm. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...ime=1466640000 |

As I've always said Remain were always going to win this, my missus and I differ on what we favour so my question is is there any point of us both voting if we're just going to cancel each other out?
