All too true. Reasons for my having voted OUT.

Hans.

Very apt. Thanks, Caran.

[Caran]

Just been to vote out!

[frugalfred]

Moi aussi!

My cleaner will be giving me a lift to the polling station this afternoon to vote OUT.

[Jackdaw33]

Just been to vote. Surprised how busy it was. The pensioners were out in droves. I don't care what the bookies say, I think it's looking good.

Excellent!

[Caran]

Keep it up folks!

Whatever the outcome of the Referendum, the result will have to be approved by Parliament. Consequently, my fear is that, if Brexit is the winner, Mr C. may stoop to all sorts of underhanded tactics to have the result declared null and void..... e.g. Three line whips for the Conservative Party with similar support from Labour.

Hans.

I like that very much Caran. Thank you.

Local polling station was very busy, just hope they voted in the right direction (OUT)

Hans, isn't that the 'thing' tho, it's not binding?
If the result is OUT and DC says we'll remain in, then I think there will be trouble

[HansUrbancka]

G'Afternoon Alba.....It is possible that, whichever way the vote goes, there is going to be a lot of discontent amongst the electorate.

Either way, I think that Mr.C is finished as our Prime Minister, but will find a future in Europe. After dinner speaking at ridiculous fees. He'll make a fortune as has Tony Blair.

Just a link to support my statement :-

That's brilliant. I've been to vote and there were lots of people there. I live in a rural farming area so think most of us will be voting Out. Hope so anyway.

[hellywelly4]

Hans - i would have to be paid that amount to listen Tony Blair speak!!!

[Caran]

That is obscene money. It's time he was prosecuted for what he did.

Hi hans. Well Cameron will certainly be finished within 4 years as he said he will go. He is probably exhausted by all this and may be tempted to go much earlier- or he may be forced out- if the vote is Leave. A narrow win for In will also mean ongoing struggles which may force him out. But if Remain wins by a large margin- better than 55/45- he should be in strong position

[Hypognosis]

A painful reminder, Caran, that all our net contributions, to date, we'll never, ever get back.
