"Good morning Mr Prime Minister. Congratulations on the 60/40 Referendum decision in your favour".

"Shhhh.... The result is not officially known until tomorrow".

Happy Polling All You Remain Voters, but REMEMBER - as the years pass and the UK is a bankrupt helpless mess because of the EU, the ghost of Kirk will eternally haunt these Tibb threads to remind you all of how you voted.

Not least because with this being a slightly "wealthier" / more politically engaged village, our polling station usually has the highest voter turnout percetage in the county.

Genuinely get the feeling that people don't really understand what they're being asked to vote on here. A couple of my wife's friends were messaging her this morning, saying they were heading in to vote and asking for advice .
Maybe Scotland is boycotting because if leave wins they might get another referendum!

For those saying the results may be fixed. In addition to our own monitors, there will also be independent monitors from 40 other countries witnessing the proceedings

Some people have been getting turned away at polling stations due to a registration error:

Voting after work. Think leave is going to "win" at this stage but I shall do what I can to prevent it.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
