    Some tosh was doing the rounds about how we could be like Switzerland because they have really high wages. There's alot of ignorance out there.

    I say 58% remain
    Norway's a better example if we could go back forty years and not squander the North Sea oil revenue. Unfortunately, I think the reason we'll likely Remain is the same reason we did nothing with the oil money but spend it on day-to-day expenditure: there's just no long-term planning, no vision for the future in Britain.

    People were, somewhat understandably, scared by a "leap in the dark" and years of uncertainty but nobody seemed to recognise that, say, ten years is such a short time in a nation's history. People just see it as a long time in their history and vote, again and again, for whatever works in the short term.

    Nobody was willing to risk what we have today for a better future, but with that attitude it is a wonder we've got progressively richer at all. Fortune favours the bold nations.
    This is everybody's fault but mine.

    Farage thinks it is REMAIN who will win

    Closer than expected. Lucky the leave momentum was stopped last week.

    Leave 52 - Remain 48.

    But I haven't got a clue really.

    That's what the final Yougov prediction has just said on BBC1.

    Nope - they had it the other way round with Remain on 52%. Too early for much speculation though.

    Note: win, draw or lose (not 'loose' - opposite of tight!)
