Well nothing like playing on fear by Brexit:
From The Times:
And there is half the argument for Brexit, populist fear based politics which will damn us all to increased right wing sentiments and Political/economical turmoil.

They voted for a Party that is pro Europe but now people want to leave the EU (going by the latest opinion polls).
The problem with democracy is that stupid people are allowed to vote.

Ignored by all Leavers
On the contrary if he is so certain I'm sure he'll be betting his billions on the pound plummeting again.

The terms are pretty interchangeable in this context. I wouldn't worry about it.

He's voted in because contrary to Osbourne's guff it is the EU that serves the 1% not the other way around.
I have to say I'm glad I'm off on holiday to India for 2 weeks tomorrow
and won't have to be here for the worst of it. Not sure if leavers will be more annoying if they win or lose.
Either way we'll find out how "developed" the general UK population actually is.
You do realise this isn't our only chance to leave the EU, right?
Staying in doesn't mean we are in for eternity, and if the EU goes down a really bad path, we can leave then.
Some people seem to actually believe that. I love Europe and most Europeans I encounter. I just dislike a lot about the way the EU operates.
I even like burly Frenchmen. x
Referendum? Next time there are powers transferred from the UK to the EU by treaty changes. It's in the European Union Act 2011.
Will not happen. Don't care what the European Union Act 2011 says, they will not tolerate another referendum on the EU.
Why not? I sincerely hope I don't sound rude here, but do you have a background in the markets, in economic research or anything similar. Have you traded or researched markets on a global macro mandate? Do you have much of a quantitative basis to dismiss their claims? If not, then why do you feel that the common market outlook is incorrect.
My genuinely large concern with all this is that confirmation bias is playing a massive role in many Leave voters attitudes towards the economy should we leave. I case of "I don't want the economy to suffer, therefore I'm not going to believe the economy will likely suffer". It's dangerous. We've got virtually all of the credible financial and economic sources in total agreement on which way things will go - the variable is a discussion point - but the amount of times I've read "well, they got it wrong with the credit crisis so they won't get it wright with this" is starting to reinforce the appearance of significant confirmation bias.
If we leave, I've no idea whether the long term economic outlook would be positive or negative. It's pretty much impossible to say either way due to the lack of credible evidence. But I don't think economically risking the short and medium term - which is overwhelming agreed upon to likely be negative from the most qualified to make such predictions - in the hope that the longer term sorts itself out is in anyway prudent.
Everyone is entitled to their vote and their opinion. I simply believe ignoring or disbelieving majority global opinion by the leading voices in a macro market is particularly sensible.
Now that is a perfectly reasonable criticism to make (if still incorrect
)If ever there was a relevant time to use the adage 'Play the ball not the man' it's now
We're screwed as a country no matter the result: 64% of UKIP supporters believe that the vote is likely to be rigged.
There's going to be a lot of angry people on Friday.

They who? The government, you think they are going to repeal it?

That looks like most of Birmingham to me.
I hope that it's decisive one way or the other, ideally more than 6 points between them. 51/49 in either direction will be horrendous, especially if England votes out and the rest of the UK votes in.
