How do I know, well the choice is so opposite, they can't both be telling the truth.
I would like to see a debate with all participants wired up to lie detectors.
Now THAT would be interesting!

Unless there is a monumental swing, we are staying in.Might as well concentrate on other stuff...
No, whilst it would be nice to have a monumental swing, it doesn't actually need one. It just needs a very low turnout ..... say less than 50% and it then becomes increasingly likely that it will be an exit. That is because exiters are more attatched to exit and tend to feel more strongly about it than many of the remainers and are therefore inclined to vote imho than remainers. Also exiters are tending to be older and they tend to vote much more than younger people who seem more inclined towards the remain side. Those that are current undecideds are also less likely to vote on a low turnout. For some reason I managed to get the Scottish question to 0.1% but that was a lucky guess I reckon. What I am saying is that things aren't as the polls currently point imho.
Exiters must therfore hope for a decent night on TV and a lot of rain and that might decide it in the exit favour.

The bookmakers in general did very well out of the last general election (despite what some papers reported). The majority called it much better than the pollsters. Certainly I cant recall the election being mentioned in any of the annual reports of the biggest bookmakers, as attributable to any losses.
Can I suggest you use a search engine?0 -

If you want to get on the housing ladder you must vote leave, it was announced today that house prices will fall when we leave the EU.

Here lies an inherent problem with society. It really is the age of generation now.
I know very little about national producivity but I hear the way to improve it is for businesses to invest in new technology (at the expense of jobs).

So after Paxman any clearer?
Insightful or lightweight?
I certainly didn't know the Strasbourg nonsense.0
