"46 million registered voters. I wonder if they all voted." General elections get somewhere between 60 and 70% turnouts I think...this might be a bit higher but it was business as usual at my local polling station this morning. | |||

"About an hour to go! I wonder if there will be last minute queues again " No queues where I voted. Lots of 'Vote Out' banners across the East and West Midlands as I dropped some hi-fi components off, this afternoon. Lucifer | |||

"46 million registered voters. I wonder if they all voted. General elections get somewhere between 60 and 70% turnouts I think...this might be a bit higher but it was business as usual at my local polling station this morning." Yes, but they've never had so many registered voters before. | |||

"46 million registered voters. I wonder if they all voted. I know a few that didn't, the mind boggles... is it raining there?"Bright sunny day here! Remain supporters were out asking if people had voted, one lad, who didn't even look old enough to vote - ''No, not today..'' Well you've only got today you fool! This was about 10 steps from the polling station and he was walking away from it.. I just don't understand some people honestly. | |||

"So by all accounts the vote will be very narrow, one way or the other. With such fine margins, it seems wrong that almost 50% of those voting would get their opinion trampled on. I wonder how this or any future government will attempt to reconcile the losers? As we would not be out of the EU for at least two years (likely a lot longer) perhaps there is scope for a government to cede some compromises. Although I can see the Remain side accepting a defeat initially, I reckon that would not be the end of it if the economy flatlines as predicted. If the Brexit side narrowly lose, I think we can be assured of vote rigging conspiracies, demonstrations, a spike in UKIP support and a demand for a second referendum (using pens instead of pencils lol). Something will have to be done to fix the divisions that have really opened up an ugly side of our country."

" No in 73 we had a Labour government capitulating to the unions. 3 day working weeks, mass power cuts, rubbish piling up in the streets and failing to tell the truth about the EU vote... " I used to love those nights with the power cuts. Melting the wax to stand the candles up on saucers, and my Mum having kittens worrying about someone knocking them over and setting the house on fire | |||

"I've canvassed those I know running various polling stations in London and turnout is only at 60%. It looks like turnout is higher in the areas where it's expected to be a Brexit lead. I do wonder if the letter from Tory MPs asking Cameron to stay, whatever the vote, will translate into real backing him or will translate to backstabbing by the autumn. " The momentum has always been with Brexit. Motivating Remainers in the way Brexiters were motivated was always going to be a problem. | |||

"Did you know even if the out vote wins the House of Lords and parliament can veto the leave and still remain it's only to judge people's choices and no guarantee we will leave if it's voted " A referendum is always just an indication to government of the wishes of the people. It is always up to the government of the day to decide what to do with that information. | |||
