The latest in my Facebook are Brexiters discussing the points system which we'd apparently adopt. How many points a doctor would get etc. Fecking hell

This pencil story is a load of cobblers. If MI5 were involved :lol:, you would think they would have the ability to get their own voting slips, rather than relying on people using a rubber to alter the slips.
:lol: Exactly!

I reckon we should just base it on Scrabble. 'Doctor' gets 9, but if you're a 'Investment Development and Research Analyst' you're in without a problem.

In case there are (somehow) any waverers leaving it until literally the last minutes, I'm gonna whip out the best argument yet:

If we remain, the dreaded portmanteau "Brexit" will piss off, hopefully forever. If we leave, it's going to be on the news constantly for the next few years, probably longer.

Vote remain. Kill Brexit.
A win for Remain would be lift-off for the English devolution movement though. EVEL will be a bare minimum in that context.

Noooooooooo!

Here's hoping the odds that England vote Remain are in the right area!

There are still train delays coming out of London.

A lot of commuters won't be able to vote :nervous:

Do it like the football. Get a team of Romanian doctors vs a team of, say, Indonesian lawyers. Pit them against each other with an unbiased panel judging their merits, and awarding the better team 3 points. Do this till the end of the season - the top three in any hypothetical league are promoted to Britain, except for the fact that they've got tired of waiting and gone to Belgium instead.

:lol: Is there relegation? If you get relegated from the Premier League you're all confined to Liverpool only.

Non-League would be to live on one of those uninhabited islands in the Atlantic which we own.

I bet the YouGov on-the-day shows a Leave lead. All the news from today has been too positive so far.

If you get relegated then you have to go to Benidorm.

Stories from London are very upsetting. Tens/hundreds of thousands at vote.
Can't the voting be extended in those areas?

I'm still scared that the markets/bookies polls might have shown leave winning but they saw an opportunity to make cash from late currency trading/betting.
That is my only worry, right now.

Why the referendum has been organized a Thursday instead of a Sunday?

The reason why British General Elections are held on Thursdays is because this day of the week was, in most cases, the traditional market day. As a result of this, most people would be in town and, therefore, be able to vote in addition to purchasing their wares.
