The Vote - the mechanics of it all....

If I want to maximize my chances of some post-referendum free loving sex, am I best to go to a Remain party or Leave ?

If it helps, I can probably knock up a swingometer, as a gimmick like

If Leave win Osborne will punish us all with an emergency budget.

If Remain win Osborne will celebrate this with an emergency budget.

What can I say?! The guy loves a budget.

In months to come any poor economic indicators will be blamed on the referendum, conveniently forgetting who actually offered the darned thing in the first place.

I fondly remember the days of a single budget each year & this coincided with the 2nd day of Cheltenham races.

Now they are like buses (deregulated natch)

BoJo ? Don't think it matters, I'd imagine he would shag anything with a pulse. Would promise to withdraw, but trust him on this at your peril.

Farage ? Would promise you the earth, drink 12 pints, bring his mates home to polish off a bottle of Scotch and fall asleep (thankfully).

Gove ? Would try and woo you by discussing Thomas Hobbes "The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil".
You would fall asleep (thankfully).

Is that a euphemism?

Curiously none of the broadcasters have commissioned an exit poll.

The 2015 election exit poll was pretty accurate (much more than the polls) but underestimated Tory seats a little.

Not much point, GE is a FPTP, constituency based vote and you already know the key marginals & have historical trends to draw on so you can make a good prediction on the result. With a yes/no single constituncy referendum you have none of those things

I think it depends if he intends to remain in or withdraw at the critical moment

So getting trapped into a relationship you never really wanted when your gf gets pregnant is the result of her 'doing a warsi'?

While this is true, the couple of advantages an exit poll has are;

1) It captures just those who actually vote. Obviously ignores postal.

2) The sample size (9000+) is a magnitude bigger than most opinion polls (often around 1000).

There are plenty of fairly reliable indicators of who are more likely to vote one way or another.

I'm just surprised no one does it.
