I also reckon 60/40 in favour of Euanisation.0 -

I have not spoken to one person that is voting to remain. Let's hope the polls get it wrong like they did in the last election.The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0

Those who say "I haven't spoken to anybody who is voting ...." - that is more about who you mix with than anything else.
Everybody lives in a bubble - you mostly live among people who are "just like you", you work with people who were all chosen to "just like us", you socialise/drink where you like the people ....
So it's not really surprising.
I bet you'd hear differing views if you spent a day at 7 different venues:
- the golf club
- the yacht club
- the pub where they deal drugs
- the local food bank
- the WI
- the local Chamber of Commerce
- the job centre
Of the above, I bet there's nobody that hangs out regularly in all 7 of those (types of) venues.
We all move in bubbles ....0 -
I have voted for leave the EU.
I urge you to consider how the EU has changed beyond all recognition since the EEC we voted to be in in 1975.
The uncertainty of what the EU is going to be in 5 or 10 years is why I am voting out - how much more of our independence is going to eroded?
This uncertainty in my mind outweighs the uncertainty over the economy in the event of a leave vote0 -

A hungry unemployed ex-business leader and mother who has a crack habit, and a penchant for golf and sailing. I meet those all the while. It tends to be the elderly who are pro-Brexit and the young who want to remain.0 -
I'm voting LEAVE. I can't see how things can get worse than this. The country is in debt up to it's eyeballs, we've sold everything off, hardly any police, fire brigade, NHS can't cope, schools can't cope.
I can't see current suppliers/buyers not wanting to trade with us, and if that happens we'll have to make/grow/serve things for ourselves once again.
France and Italy seem to be having problems, and I can't see Merkel getting the vote next time, and so I have visoins of the whole EU thing calapsing if we vote Out, which would kind of rule out teh reason to remain in. Norway seems to want out too0 -
I cant vote, but I have 3 boys in their 20s of who 2 are in favor of remain, the other undecided. One is voting.0
