Take a look at @JohnnyMercerMP's Tweet: https://twitter.com/JohnnyMercerMP/s...087909888?s=09

Turnout high in Plymouth and high turnout is supposed to favour remaining
It depends. A high turnout could also mean the working class have come out in large numbers, which would favour Leave.

What I am saying is that the UK is a union made up of four nations. The EU is a union made up of twenty eight nations.

I back both unions.
Weak argument.

You're saying you support us no longer having a Government and being controlled by an EU government. With 28 nations.....

I agree with this reply:

Wasn't Plymouth David Owen's old seat? He's pro-Brexit!
David Owen hasn't had a presence or influence there in years!!!

It is a very strong argument. How can you support the UK union but be opposed to the EU union? Slight inconsistency there.

4 countries versus 28 countries - you call that a slight inconsistency?

Someone get Rachel Riley in to look at this!

By that argument, you should be campaigning to become the 51st state of America. After all, how can you support the UK union but be opposed to the American union?

It appears many people do, I just can't understand it. We must have lost the plot as a country.

Really, I find that hard to believe. I have heard from all over the country and all working class are out, at least 60%.

I've said this before. I'm hoping for a Brexit win but my gut feeling is that this anti EU movement within Labour is a myth. I'm expecting the working class and a shy Tory vote to be the reason that Remain wins if it does.

Tell that to the Guardian, they've been visiting Labour heartlands all over the country and struggling to find anyone who's Remain.

The EU doesn't and will not rule over the UK. This is just another of the distortions of reality lapped by the gullible acolytes of Project Lie.

I've come to the conclusion all the media in this country have an agenda one way or the other.

We will know in about 10 hours whether my theory is correct.

I went through this with the Scottish referendum. Though that was even more important to me. I was leave then, as I am now.

And I have the same sense of doom that I had then. It was crushing

Sadly for Bremainers I have feeling Brexit have won this and the polls and the bookies are wrong.

I can remember the same atmosphere at this time during the general election. Everyone thought Labour had it in the bag then the shock exit poll appeared.

No they didn't. Most people thought Conservative would be the largest party but fall short of a majority.
