Well we asked for it and we've got it. In the words of Bucks Fizz " . . . and soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up"

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

There should be two more options on the ballot paper with votes added together if there is no majority.

Leave but ensure we have a trade agreement
Stay but bring back border control and fiscal control.

Are we voting on what we want or what we expect the outcome to be?

My vote is in, I mean out, foc knows what'll happen and no matter what happens I guess we've all got to get on with it :(

That's a good question! I've every confidence that we're a good representative bunch on here and will be a good match to the Great British public.

Trust me, we are staying in whatever you think.
Bookmakers are giving odds of 1-6fav to remain, and 4-1 to leave.
They aren't daft and those sort of odds are nothing short of a dead cert.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

My word, it's humble pie time, looks like the impossible is actually going to happen, as it's now currently 1-250fav to leave, and 50-1 to stay  :look

The result is a lot closer than people thought it would be. That said, all of the areas I have looked up were around 60/40 to leave apart from the Scottish ones that were significantly higher on the saty side skewing the overall result.

If it was country by country, Scotland would stay along with NI but England was a resounding Leave.

Thats exactly what I thought when I checked paddypower yesterday, 1/12 to stay, 7/1 to leave. I'm not a gambler but someone made some money!

Not many people would've taken advantage of the "Leave" odds because it was so unlikely to come through, even a hardened gambler would've thought that was a definite loser.
