I'll save the specifics for the other thread...although if you accept the principle of not allowing the electorate to vote on stuff they don't properly understand, then we may as well declare a dictatorship now.PBlakeney wrote:

I'm expecting a 55/45 Remain/Leave vote.0

What about the footy fans in France.... They're IN europe but they'll vote OUT of course.
Work that one out.'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0 -

Could be, although I know 5 people who are at Glastonbury and they all already voted by postal vote.
There's been quite a strong grassroots campaign to get young people to register and vote - my facebook is dominated by it at the moment (I'm 27 and have 2 younger brothers so a lot of younger people on my FB). I'm also doing a part time masters at Warwick and the SU has been very proactive in getting students signed up to vote from what I can tell. So I hope that the turnout amongst younger voters will be good. Certainly in the Scottish referendum (which I was also able to vote in
) the turnout among young people was quite high and this sort of vote seems to motivate more than a regular party political election. Just my opinion/view obviously.
Apparently Newcastle had already had 81% of their postal votes returned by last night (equating to 32% the electorate) - I think turnout is going to be very high.0 -

A re-run of the Scottish referendum then!!!0 -

I wouldn't worry. If they're overseas they can't vote in person: if they had a postal vote it required them to be able to sign their name, know their date of birth and stuff two envelopes in the right sequence.Bo Duke wrote:What about the footy fans in France....

that fact has really cheered me up0 -
I was expecting a high turn out but when I went to the polling station at 8.00am I was the only one in there. I thought there would have been a lot of people dropping in on their way to work. Quite worrying really as the out voters no doubt flocked there when they dragged themselves out of bed at 10.30 before heading off to Spoons 0

How will the results be given? Will they be counted at constituency level and then declared as confirmed with a running total being shown or will everything just be counted and then a result given once all votes have been counted?0
-
But we'll have a rolling total so some idea of how things are likely to go before the final result?0

there will be no exit polls or area results until after 10pm, as this could decide what folk may or may not vote or even bother too.
Or this is how i understand a UK referendum works.0 -

Appropriately nobody seems to agree - I have seen as soon as 12:30 and as late as 4:00am0 -
Yeah, I assumed that would be the case. I'm not sure counting is even allowed to start until the polling stations shut is it?0

FT has a handy timeline - it's going to be by area with the first areas declaring just after midnight (Gibraltar and Scilly Isles).
The result could become apparent by about 3.30am but if it is very very close it could be as late as 6am.
The formal announcement will be made around breakfast time in manchester.
EU referendum night: when will the result be known? - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/35f15744-37cd ... a8ee7.html
Reporting by news organisations of exit polls or anything around campaigning is illegal while the polls are open (actually since 00:30 this morning until 22:00)0 -

As I have said before, I think that a narrow Leave victory will be declared indecisive.
This post gives me great hope, the best outcome might be for a small majority for the Out camp then the government negotiate reforms within the EU then create the machinations that enables the UK to stay in.
I don't care how it's done, but the EU must be forced to reform.'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0 -

However for £500,000 a bank or hedge fund can conduct it's own exit poll to get a competitive edge and bet accordingly.
today the pound has hit a 6 month high and FTSE at a two month peak
the health warning on this is that it is on low trading volumes and OUT voters are more likely to be out of bed later... on the upside they will now be safely in Wetherspoons/Yates until after the polls are shut0 -

A mate of mine has been working outside a polling station in Newport all day and said that it has looked like they are giving away free beer in there by the numbers going in. I fear that may be bad news!0
