I won't bother to stay up for any of it. What sickens me, other than the months of mud-slinging we've had to put up with from both sides, is that so many people who can vote won't even bother to whilst I don't get a say despite having been in the UK for nearly 25 years.

If you didn't bother to become a British Citizen why would you think you have a right to have a say?

My polling booth had both pencil and blue pen.

:eek: But, but, but people are going to get confuuuuuuuuuuuuuused. Shouldn't we first hold a referendum to decide which to use?

See deary, I had been considering it a while back but there never was much point and it costs money... but I can now guarantee you that there is, roughly, a snowball's chance in hell that I ever bother.

The lack of public exit polls bother me a bit I have to say ( as it did in the Scottish ref). I realise they're difficult to set up, but we have poll after poll daily based on filtering turnout and how people 'might' vote if at all. It would be useful to see how people actually HAVE voted in a few key areas once the polls close.

Also how come there's loads of rumours of hedge funds and banks doing 'private exit polls'.If so why can't they be done publically ? All I ever hear is that they're just too difficult to do. Obviously not difficult enough if these reports are true and some pretty hefty betting relies on the results of private exit polls.

I did a Yougov poll today that asked me what time I thought I would be voting/going to the polling station ( I said I was 100% certain to vote ). I wonder if they're planning on emailing people on Thursday based on the times given.

Can't do them publically. Doing them privately is a loop hole which needs to be closed ASAP of you ask me.

You are certainly something beginning with the letter T and followed by three other letters.

Turk wasn't what I had in mind though.
