Look carefully at what Boris is saying because he's certainly not saying he will deal with mass immigration.

The thing really is for me DemRed, that in truth there is a crossover of a lot that annoys both those advocating out and those advocating remaining in.
Many of the same things annoy both sides and there is no doubt in my mind both want the best for the UK.
Maybe I and all on the remain side will be proven wrong if we stay in and no reform comes as to those issues that concern both sides which is our hope, for faster and better reform of the EU as it stands.
It is just, for me anyway, I think we have a pretty good setup in the EU as to the UK and so would rather take that chance and stay with what I know and have seen,with hopefully minimal change.
However,leaving could also bring benefits,if we got the right deals all over the place, with the EU and around the World.
I have my doubts as to that and those deals but if the UK votes to leave, I will love to be proven wrong.
It has been a horrendous campaign and in my view whatever the decision is, in or out, for probably most of the voters their votes will not have come from an informed or comfortable position for them.
This near state of Utopia hoped for by 'leave' is all based on ifs and don't knows.
However it can be argued, nothing ventured nothing gained,as the saying goes, so who knows if that scenario will be achieved or not.
This announcement of an emergency budget today from a clearly rattled and desperate Chancellor,will only serve to disillusion people further too.
This question was asked by people a few weeks back but is even more relevant today, if he is in any way right.
If any govt knew that such dangers and chaos are likely from a leave result, then why be so irresponsible to hold a referendum in the first place.
A week to go,what will be will be I guess now.
I will have admired and supported the rights and passion of all on the 'leave' side just as I have appreciated the support and passion I have had with those on the 'remain' side.
From listening to people,I am myself now expecting a narrow result to 'leave' but I hope for the opposite.
Everyone has made good points from their own perspectives, and as to how they have come to, and made, the decisions on voting they have in the end.
