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

[Braden]

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

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

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.

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
