He's a manipulative bastards and very good at it. He's been making his persona for years and knows exactly how to manipulate the public for popularity. Don't like the guy but he is a damn good at manipulating people.

It's telling that you jump to the assumption that the uninformed would be voting to leave.
Not sure where I fall in the idea of a requirement to vote, but I wouldn't be lying if the whole 'fuck experts' part of the movement didn't make me quite angry at the public who eat it up.
I'm confused.

Most local authorities have a page on their website where you put in your postcode and it tells you where your polling station is.
It's too late for Brexiters. The difference needs to be higher in their favour.
What you've quoted and this statement don't match up.
I wish I shared your confidence, I really do.

Yeah. They need to be polling far higher than this to have a hope.
Just make sure you vote Remain.
Isn't this assuming that undecided voters will default to the status quo? I can only hope that is so.
More often than not.

Yes it does.
weekev, as quoted by uzzy is apparently pro remain.( Unless I made a mistake there.)
Uzzy implies that a test for knowledge on the issue being voted on would block people that weekev doesn't like from voting, I.e. leave.

I don't believe there is a chance in hell an undecided votes for the financial turmoil that will come tomorrow and Friday over 'same as before'. The unknown is too great for the undecided.

Why not, you can export to China et al now too.
As can Germany, it's not as if you are exclusively trading with EU under very unfavourable terms towards the rest of the world...
I don't get it at all...
I don't think they need to be far higher. I think every vote will count. Remain needs just 1 vote more.
Ps. I wonder how many people will vote and go to Glastonbury.

Sorry where did I say ban people? I just wish people took time to understand the implications of what they were voting for. It was pretty tongue in cheek as well tbh I understand the system we have now is as good as it's gonna get.
If I was offering a serious suggestion it would be that there should be a politically neutral group who offered the facts and could rebut any lies to further an agenda, thus providing an unbiased, factually correct representation of the facts in a simple, easy to understand way thus allowing the voters to make a reasonable decision based on the facts rather than a skewed version of facts to make one side look better than the other.
Unfortunately this seems to be impossible with the current crop of MPs we have at the moment.
I guess Uzzy is pro remain too, if they aren't, their subconscious us telling them they should be.

Even with an independent set of facts, from what I've seen of Leave voters, they would be resistant of anything that challenges their views.

I hope it was tongue in cheek, but it's not the first comment I've seen in this thread that flirts with authoritarianism when it comes to who should be allowed to vote.

I stand behind age restrictions for key votes like this.

Let's not go there again. Polls open in 23 hours and I'm voting, so tough.
Yeah but that's not banning one side or the other the implication was that a test on knowledge would benefit one side over the other. My tongue in cheek example was merely to vent my frustration that we could be headed for a future voted for by people who didn't know what they are voting for. When I speak to people on this matter, the ignorance around is staggering and it really isn't helped by the constant muddying of the waters from both sides.

Agree, but think it should be 16 and not 18.

The real answer to the whole age/knowledge thing is to not put major complicated decisions to a referendum to a larger population who will only be informed badly by politicians.
Just one more day, thank god

I must admit I'm a bit sick of it all at this point, which I didn't think would happen!

I hope this isn't the case. You never know with the opinion polls though. I've made up my mind - wife is still swaying side to side.
There's such a buzz about this referendum, more than any election I can remember. Fingers crossed for a high turn out of voters.

I hope , as an American, you guys make the right choice and stay in the union
As long as it's not crudely photoshopped onto a baby...
I'm for Remain but even I appreciate Farage and his rhetoric does not speak for many on the Leave Campaign.
As I said a few pages back, I'm amazed and bemused the Leave Campaign if they were a co-ordinated effort didn't muzzle him.
You can be for Leave and hate Farage in the same way you can Vote Remain and hate Cameron. Personality politics has screwed this debate to a toxic degree.
you have to have such a thick skin to be a politician, politics aside how in earth does that make him feel reading stuff like that
