When Brexit loses it will be because of very loud committed race/nationalists who have loudly and persistently put off reasonable brexit voters, still out but feeling contempt for the campaign and most of my fellow voters.

I might place some cash on a remain vote so I'll be happyy whatever the result.

Except you're wasting your money. And when Leave wins we shall all mock you relentlessly. For ever.

Funny you say that, because I was coming on to post this:

BBC One, 7:30pm today, "The Big EU Reality Check"

http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/d7fdwz/the-big-eu-reality-check

I'm not sure who's going to be presenting it (probably a range of BBC News presenters) and I don't think it's going to be exactly what you're after (i.e. I doubt there will be a panel of experts), but if it's anything like the other reality check snippets it could be informative viewing :)

Starting now :)
 
I have postal voted to leave, I'm not polarised either way, it's simply a vote for change, I'm not risk adverse so I'm not going to vote to remain in a state of mediocrity out of fear.
 
I have a really bad feeling now that the murder of Jo Cox has gifted this referendum to the EU :( What's worse is that I feel that the EU will have to punish Britain after we stay in the EU to set an example to other member states. I can certainly see us having to up our financial contributions, immigration to the UK will be positively encouraged, Cameron will be forced to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees from Germany.

But it's ok, it's what we wanted, since we're going to be voting for just this (I think).

I dont even get why, people are sympathy voting for the side she was on or what?

I fail to see how her getting murdered should have any effect on peoples voting :rolleyes:

Exactly - a vote for the EU in this referendum is a vote to submit to the EU. There's a laughable assumption by people like Mr Jack and others that the EU is some kind of benevolent dictatorship, I suggest we'll find out that it's anything but benevolent post-referendum :(

I defies all logic, but I've noticed a massive shift in the media's attitude since the awful murder. Suddenly it's OK to attack anyone who wants to control immigration as "racist" or "xenophobic" again. It seems that if any of the Leave campaign defend their arguments robustly they're accused of dragging political debate into the gutter, but the same is not true for the pro-EU campaign.

Because some people who are on the fence will see a vote for 'Leave' as siding (in a small way) with the position of the guy that murdered her. They will see a 'Remain' vote as standing with her memory.

In a situation where choosing one side or another is very difficult, it's quite often the small things that push you one way or another.

Here here.

There is too little time to change minds, sadly People want to sympathise with the tragic loss of Jo Cox, which is fair to a good extent, but come on, her death cannot be used as Political Fodder to influence a leave/remain vote.

Just vote with a clear mind *if that is possible for some*

I think the passage of time was responsible for that - the campaigning went on just long enough for the mask to slip off Farage and for people to do a double-take. The more reasonable 'Leave' figureheads then wanted to distance themselves from Farage's poster and it sends the message that Leave are a divided campaign and casts doubt over their claims.

The EU are going to have a field day with the UK. When the **** hits the fan I shall just say to remain voters:
'well YOU voted for it'
