    I don't believe it.

    Almost all of those 'don't know' votes will go towards remain after recent events.


    Why do you say that?

    Because it's the 'safer' option as advertised by the masses / your favorite celebrity, etc.

    Despite calls for it not to happen, Jo Cox's tragic death was politicised within the House of Commons on Monday, in favour of her stance of remaining within the EU.

    Latest Survation poll has 1% lead for Remain.

    That's down from 3% remain lead last time.

    Last 3 polls have Leave improving their position.

    A day and a half to go.

    Remain have a lead and people are influenced by what they think most others will do.

    Any chance of, an already unlikely, situation where undecideds vote against the status quo disappeared last week.

    Betfair have odds for a remain vote at 1.31 from 1.66 when I looked last week.

    Farage has been let out of his box twice in a week.

    It's not looking good but for the optimistic Betfair will offer odds of 4.1 for a Brexit vote.

    I really hope we don't lose this chance to escape, there have been so many lies, no one knows what will gap pen but I think we have a better chance on our own than having to subsidise all the nations who only take and do not give. The EU WE ARE IN IS CERTAINLY NOT WHAT WE JOINED....

    This thread is full of postings complaining or talking about issues and problems that have nothing to do with the EU.
    In fact this referendum has given a lot of people pause for thought and let them look around at our society.
    So many of the problems highlighted in this and other threads lie completely at the door of British Politiciens of ALL PARTYS.
    They have been asleep at the wheel. They have created a two or three speed society that is finding voice during the referendum debate.

    I so much agree with this. The British politicians have grown into lazy fat cats, mired in their own political clique in Westminster, and they have become reliant on the EU ('don't blame us, it's the EU'). In fact, I was wondering whether we need a government at all at this rate.

    I want politicians who actually care about Britain and about what its people want, who are capable of carrying out the majority of the people's wishes and who we can boot out if they are incapable of doing the job. Yes, I know that politicians are always ambitious, but some did seem rather more moral in the past than they are today, and to be acting on their voters' behalf rather than according to some pie-in-the-sky utopian ideology of their own (no matter the stress it causes communities), or as the servants of Bilderberg masters who care nothing about the general populations of Europe or about democracy, but act solely in their own interests.:cool:

    (And I'm definitely voting Leave.)

    Indeed – and this disgusting tactic by the Westminster political clique actually made me even more determined to Vote Leave.

    Well, that would suit me. I've watched him over a number of years and he always seems to talk so much sense! :T:j:beer:

    Cue…

    Leicester were 5000/1 last August. Still won though.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Yes, I think the government is afraid it will have to work for a living instead of other people doing their work for them.....
