    Well if being made aware of the system prior to the vote and throughout the campaign constitutes a fix?

    Here's the deal. Make your choice. What's the problem? Those who didn't vote either agreed or didn't care.

    Voting to stay in, we are in a nice little bubble here in NI.

    If I lived in certain parts of England I'd probably be a stauncher OUT voter.

    Remain now at 2/9. I'm off to bet the farm on it.

    Too late - we're at 1/12. Foregone conclusion, it seems. Leicester city?

    That was where a percentage of the electorate was required, not of those who voted. It was well flagged at the time that to fail to vote was effectively to vote No, and that's what happened.
    Since they all knew the deal, it seems reasonable.
    No - it's validation of my statement that there is actually precedent for it.

    I went to the polls not knowing what way to vote so I tossed a coin and ended up voting Leave

    And that is why it's a mistake to put a question like this to the public :)

    There ought to have been a 3rd option really, like "sod off and do what we pay you for".

    My wife is in Dublin tomorrow and when she heard they are likely to announce in the morning she said - in all seriousness but probably without thinking - that she'd have to remember to bring her passport with her in case the leave vote wins and she cant get back over the border tomorrow PM....

    Oh well, my £30 bet won, but the extremists have won.

    Wow.

    As I said, the odds shortened so much I didn't bother. Lucky I've got my euros.
