I don't know of a single person who feels strongly about voting to stay in. Of the few people I know who think we are best to stay, they have weak feeelings and I expect they wont go to the trouble of voting.

Of my friends who are planning to vote OUT, which is most of my friends, they feel very strongly and WILL make the effort to vote.

So based on this I expect the polls will be close, but the final votes will be mostly out.

Interesting. OCUK is the reverse of the national trend based upon those polls.

I'm more interested in what the older generation that actually vote think as the polls are always way off. They always seem to underestimate the older vote.

GD were pretty spot on in the last few votes. Perhaps they are more aligned with people that actually vote.

What age group do you class as the older generation?

When I visited my grandparents this weekend I asked them in passing as it was on the TV, they said that they, and all their friends are voting to leave
 
Sage EU Debate - Impact on Small Businesses

The company I work for held a debate (chaired by someone from Sky News) on the potential Brexit, and the impact on small businesses. Still seems really clear to me there just aren't any concrete facts for the out campaign. The CEO of JML was arguing the case for Brexit, and even he made mistakes. Such as being adamant Iceland didn't have to accept free movement of people, but they actually are in Schengen!

I'd love to see a concrete proposal from the Leave Campaign. 'Take control back' or 'cut red tape' is so God damn vague. I want to know what it will actually mean if I vote leave.

I don't know the volumes for the age groups that vote the most but I would have said 35 through to 65+, however that could easily be 45+ or 55+. Generally the people that actually vote are older and as far as I am aware they have a stronger leaning towards out.

Knock off as well! :D. I actually have a legit HTC Highroad winter jersey from 2010 but it's quite beaten up after a high speed crash. :)

You're a bad man! :)

I'd love a HTC jersey. I've got a few original Cervelo Test Team ones and the bike to match; just wish I had the ability to go with it ;)

On that basis, we're leaving. The younger vote is strongly on the remain side while the grey vote is strongly on the leave side. Although you can explain that difference by difference in education (people with degrees skew massively towards remain and few older people have degrees).

I know exactly one person who will be voting for 'out'; almost everyone I know is strongly In and will definitely vote. But this, of course, is why trying to predict elections based on what your friends think is a mugs game.
 
Why has the guy from the BCC be censured for talking about leaving the EU yet, other members who have talked about staying in haven't.

Neither position is impartial.

There's a slight difference between the head of an organisation speaking at their annual conference and random comments by A. N. Other Member.

At the general election in 2015, the ocuk final poll had the Tories on 42.15% of the vote. The actual result had the Tories on 41% of the vote and a majority government. Nearly all of the national polls were so far out that they became a complete laughing stock. It is more than possible that the ocuk referendum poll could be very accurate, going by last years election result i would trust it a lot more than the poll of polls.
