EU Referendum

[John am Rhein]

Whatever the outcome tomorrow how do people see the EU going forward?

I love it

My sister reckons that there will be more older people who get out and vote and that gives the LEAVE a better chance. So, if any of you arl geezers know any young uns, get them out of their pits and off to the voting booths.

I'm organizing an all day shuttle bus service to pick up over-70s and drop them off on Saddleworth Moor

I'm really concerned, just heard on the radio that their is no exit poll, apparently it's not possible due to the lack of historical data to compare, analyse and deduce any results. The first results are expected in around 2am.

People over 55 shouldn't have been made allowed to vote for this referendum

[RBM]

Very true.

[muleskinner]

very busy at my  local polling station, never normally anywhere near as many people as that at the time I was there.

Momentous day in history today.

Same at mine. Not quite a queue, but far more than I've ever seen at just gone 7

[Earl Hafler]

Well here we go.

 

Come on, Remain.

[Swan Red]

High turnout is expected to be good for remain?

 

I think remain has it pretty much sewn up tbh but two things come out of this.

 

Democracy is kinda worrying at times and may not actually be the best approach to solving complex questions.

No one should ever pay attention if I suggest a bet is bad value. Hopefully Sutty lumped on remain at 8/13.

[Sion]

Odds on leave have gone from 4.7 last night to below 4.0 this morning

Referenda almost certainly not the best approach.

But "democracy" should underpin whatever approach you do take. Insofar as it's only fair to govern people if you have their implied consent at the very least.

[muleskinner]

what time is a result (or a solid indication) expected tomorrow?

Same at mine.  Much busier than I expected.

Results should start coming in around 2am, so maybe a couple of hours later?

I agree with this in the main but I think this referendum highlights just how far from the facts people can be moved. Consent is important but there seems to be a gap between the implied consent that democracy provides and the informed consent it should.

 

I'm probably just in one of my swings towards politics is s*** tbh but I think I've reason.

[Leo No.8]

Cast my vote - come on remain!

 

Even relatively busy in leafy Little Budworth - usually I'm the only person in the polling station!

[baja the hut]

Huge turnout at mine.

 

I am in Highbury and Islington in London which is a remain stronghold I am led to believe.

There are exit polls.
