I think people know this, they just haven't a clue on any of the actual facts surrounding the vote. Both campaigns have been exaggerating everything IMO, the leave campaign has outright lied about many claims. A lot of people don't know what the **** is going on. I voted remain. Better tyhe devil you know and all of that...I have been openminded and tbh undecided throughout this whole ordeal and not one argument from leave has convinced me. I also feel we could have another chance to leave in the future, though maybe not for 20/30 years. It seems to be very...final...to decide on a huge thing like this (that there is no backing out of, if leave wins) based on a few leaflets pushed through your door and facebook pictures :laugh:

Having said that, our polling station has been HEAVING. I noticed one or two people going to vote in the GE...but the turnout here seems to be absolutely huge. Unfortunately, so many are ill-informed. I mean, I don't know what will happen if we leave, noone does really (though I tend to favour the views of big businesses and such) but the main reason for voting leave appears to be immigration..which it utter bollocks, immigration won't stop if we leave the EU. Hell...last night I saw someone saying they want to leave as they 'don't like paying taxes'?! Another was ranting about being treated in A+E by a 'foreign' doctor and because of this brought up leaving the EU...as if it would do any good to just remove all of the 'foreign' doctors from the nhs..yeah great plan...lets forget we have a shortage to begin with :shrug:

Anyway, I have no real strong views one way or the other, though right now I would prefer to remain. But some of the arguments have been utterly bizarre.

We've just voted to stay IN sorry Kirky (gets my skid lid)

would you have voted to Join the EU if that had been on the table and we were not a member?

Also I found out today that they have finally changed my name on voting/deed poll :laugh:

They couldn't find me and I was all ready to kick off about fixing (stupid I know :laugh: ) but they had me down as my married name :D

If I didn't completely understand the implications of joining and the campaign had been as screwed up as this one AND I had noticed a bunch of lies from those trying to convince me to join, then no. I would not have voted to join. Again I would have voted to remain as we were.

Hope we get out

Oddly enough though, had I been Scottish I would have been a strong out voter in that referendum. I always felt it would be better for the Scots to vote out (though selfishly, I didn't want them to) and the way Cameron and such tried to scare them stood out as a big red flag for me.

I am fairly certain Scotland will overwhelmingly vote to remain

That's a hard one. The In have some good points and so do the Out. I just hope whatever the result will be, GB will make it work afterwards.

I'm not sure. A leave vote would pretty much guarantee a further Scottish referendum IMO. And so many want that. I think theres a chance of the turnout being very low compared to elsewhere, at least.

ive just voted out because i love to pout

I am seething with my parents. We were on our way to vote and my mum decides to make a comment about how someone at work said that her sister is going over to the Irish Embassy to welcome 800(?) Somalian refugees with new houses (I actually have no dea how this is relevant since Ireland aren't part of the UK, but my response not knowing that it was related to the EU refrendum (I should have seen it a mile off since they've both been very obnoxious towards me for wanting to vote remain) was 'Aw'. I then proceeded ot be called ignorant. On the way to the car my mum made passive aggressive comments about how Britain wasn't 'great' anymore. My Dad who has been unbearble throughout this whole ordeal shouted his points in obvious attempt to try and get me to change my mind, snorted when I made my points for why I think it's better to stay in the EU and ultimately claimed that he was shouting his views in the car because he was talking to my (who was right next to him (why the **** was he shouting? lol)). I literally got out of the car and then walked in the complete opposite direction to the polling station, lmfao. I'll be voting later tonight though,

It's horrible how divided and aggressive this referendum has caused people to become, but it's interesting to view people in a way they wouldn't have before this vote. I have lost so much respect for my parents. Not because of hwo they were voting, but the way they made me feel because how I wanted to vote. Revolting tbh. I feel like complete **** for having an opinion. I'm not the sort of person that wants to use my voice in fear of ridicule in the first place.

Our voting station was pretty empty but then again I imagine it'll get very busy in a few hours time.

Why would Somalian refugees be at the Irish Embassy?

this why in life when people talk politics its always best to never show your hand

I will be glad its all over tbh, though whichever way the vote goes people will be kicking off. every thing that goes wrong in our country will be blamed on those who chose to vote in/leave (whichever wins) and its just going to create bad blood between people. This has been quite the experience for me tbh, as talking politics, being from a northern place generally most people agree. Theres not much variance in opinion and nearly 100% of people are labour here. Its been odd to not know if a throwaway comment about the vote may cause utter hell on or not :joker:

I have no idea but according to my Mum's co-worker there will be 800 refugees welcomed and given new homes.

This from twitter - showing a busy polling station in London - with a huuuge queue just to get in :shocked:

Made me a bit teary eyed. One of the most British pics I've ever seen. Lol twat :notimpressed:

You're so right. If there's one thing I've learned from this referendum is that it's not too talk you like know everything. I haven't spoke much about it, but I would think that if there were two people woho would be good to discuss/debate it with it would be my parents. Wrong, lol.

I'm definitely going to keep quiet when it comes to the voting malarchy in the future.

I expect as in the General elections most tend to vote after work, so evenings will likely be the busiest times.

I literally said this yesterday on Twitter. I'll be glad when it's finished :p

Surely thats immigrants queuing for bennies ?

In Ireland?

Is this the same immigrants that are taking all of our jobs? how does that work? :suspect: :tongue:

:laugh2:

I know as an immigrant you can't win..:laugh:

Yeah, that's what was said. It was said right before we left to vote. It didn't dawn on me until I was typing it all out that it had no relevance to this referendum :p

Oh I thought you meant the Irish embassy in England :laugh:

lmao, that's what I don't understand. The point was random in itself but it made no sense to me :p

I Want Great Britain back please vote OUT

How Nice

This makes no sense

yea it does being in the EU have made us lose what was so Great about Britain

I voted early this morning and there was no one else there apart from myself and my OH, we live in a small village but theres normally some other people there

Oh right yeh, great britain was so much better during the war

At least we had control of our own borders, innit.

I understand a lot of peoples reasons for voting to leave however an alarmingly large amount seem to have no reason besides 'those bloody foreigners' :joker:

Haha, there are legitimate reasons to vote out (for me, they dont outweigh the cons of leaving) but reverting back to wartime britain bcause thats when britain was truly better is by far the worse argument ive heard all month.

Wish those closet racists would just decide already whether the foreigners are taking our jobs or taking our jobseeker benefits. It seems to be both.

Worst I saw was last night on FB. Posted by my husbands cousins partner..he wants to leave because he doesn't want to pay taxes...

Honestly :rolleyes:

My mothers voting is interesting too. She is voting leave using immigration as the main reason. However, she has a backup plan. She is wealthy enough that if it all goes tits up she can...emigrate. Umm...
