Referendum: which way are you voting?

So who's been persuaded to change their mind by the In/Out campaigners? I'm a definite Stay. Seems the overall flow has been towards Leave.
Anyone shifted their savings into euro?

Actually I think N.I either did the same or at least it was very close.

I predict it would plummet - that's why I want to remain.

Oil is priced in dollars, so it's sensitive to currency fluctuations. The price jumped in 1992 when the pound crashed. That's the first thing.

Do you think a sharp rise in inflation will lead to interest rate rises?

Who cares? No pain, no gain. At least we would be out! I'll gladly suck up any hardships to be free of that bureaucratic, blood sucking, dictatorial, spongers club. Better to be free than a slave.

Too many variables. Imports get dearer, exports ought to get cheaper. Home produced food is likely to get cheaper. When Iceland crashed, they went back to eating their own fish instead of importing our beef. We'd likely eat more spuds and less pasta in the same situation. Our own firewood would be the obvious way to heat our houses.

Overall, anyone who tells you exactly what's going to happen next is either making it up or doesn't understand. We just can't know anything more than a few obvious outcomes. Here's one Rubbish one that I keep reading - Scotland will declare independence and rejoin Europe if there is a brexit. Guff. Scotland would have to join as a new applicant if there was then a vote for independence. They wouldn't be allowed, with their massive debt and overspending - austerity without the English to blame?
