    Thanks for the welcome and replies already! Great stuff.

    On a slight tangent, does anyone know if there would be an affect on fuel prices?

    You can be sure that the short term effect would be:

    Brexit vote = lower pound
    Remain vote = higher pound

    In the days and weeks after the vote so for a few weeks you'd get cheaper petrol on remain. After that? Who knows. I have an opinion but it's just that, an opinion.

    Ah this is so difficult!

    I'm actually taking the time to try and read up on it more unlike many people I know just jumping on bandwagons and doing what they are told! I'm watching the Paxman debate tonight to try and help me haha. Thanks.

    Good luck and choose well!

    I'm voting remain but apparently some others aren't.

    you are voting for we the residents of the UK to remain, whilst you and your family have already voted to leave the certain economic, military and political strength of the EU.

    Is this a safety vote in case you decide to return?

    I have family and friends in the UK and I've been asked my opinion as to what would be best for them.

    A good polling day for Brexiters, and a poor one for Remain, not altogether surprising as these are the first ones out since the immigration numbers came out.

    Orb (telephone) Remain 51 Leave 46 (previously Remain 55 Leave 42)
    ICM (telephone) Remain 48 Leave 52 (previously Remain 55 Leave 45)
    ICM (online) Remain 48 Leave 52 (previously Remain 48 Leave 52)

    Bookies had Brexit about 4/1 last week, just under 3/1 now.

    Good news. That should get more of the remain vote out.
    Now is not the time to get complacent! :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    now is the time for anyone interested in democracy, to get as many people to vote as posssible, irrespective of how they do so.
