I've got splinters in my arse on this one.
Part of me agrees with Joey that since it's their server that crashed then they should reimburse that time really as they have set the deadline and should honour that amount of time.

But then part of me thinks if you are going to say for example go and queue up for an event or something and the deadline for entry is say 8.00pm and hundreds of people rush to get in at say 7.45pm then not everyone is going to get in due to the time restriction and amount of people all trying to get in.Then it's just tough luck and you'd just accept it.
The only thing is that this is much more important.
On balance i'd say really they should give the time back as a gesture of good will and because of the importance of the situation.So i'm with Joey on balance.

Now they are saying you can register all day today? I'm sorry it smacks of hand holding, most of those who got caught will be quite aware that sites crash internet connections can be lost, but the lesson learned is deadlines can now be extended if they can't get their act together and do it in time, apparently it also favours remain as it will be mostly under 25s who will not have complied with the deadline, still happy Monkey

I'm not really that arsed tbh.Whatever will be will be.I'm sure my life won't change drastically either way.Maybe shorter queues and quicker doctors and dentists appointments if we leave but feck it.

If we leave nothing will happen overnight, it will be years before anything is sorted

I personally fear things will happen Cherie.

It will be years for sure but the uncertainty around for those years of what deals may be done, and deals won or not won.
What conditions will apply eventually, not known too for some considerable time,either as to an EU deal or deals around the World.

That is not in anyway going to boost our economy or inspire confidence from Foreign investors as to doing so in the UK.

Then at the end of the years of negotiations the UK could I think very likely find itself running around just making up strongly lost ground, even just to get back to the point where we are today again.

The reality is that the markets have already adjusted to an out result. If the result is remain, there will be an immediate bounce in the markets.

what we wont see, is the erosion of companies and jobs over time if we vote out. it will just be attributed to a global downturn. The other side of it is in 5-10 years we will see a rise in inflation, but again, its all to easy to attribute that to some other event

I'm voting in Joey, better the devil you know, that said I think it's so close which is why the government are desperate to extend the deadline

Hi Cherie

I do agree with that but I do hope and want from both sides the maximum turnout possible for this to be a really truly representative referendum.
It is bad enough that for many, it will sadly not be an informed choice vote due to this horrendous campaigning.

So overall myself,I am glad they have given more time now.

Yep i agree.I don't think we will see anything happen quickly either way.I do however think that the EU commissioners have a few things up their sleeves that they are waiting to implement after our referendum,Things we probably won't agree with that they will have put on hold until we vote to remain or leave,Things that would affect the vote.But like everything in the EU we will not see anything happen quickly.

It's so all the illegal immigrants have a chance to vote remain.
