    Via Mike: The last six polls for different firms (ICM, YouGov, Ipsos-MORI, TNS, ORB & ComRes) ALL have move to REMAIN

    And yet the odds have moved over the last few days in the direction of Leave.

    Anything could happen but starting to feel it could easily turn into a repeat of AV with Remain winning by a very wide margin.
    I have felt instinctively that this week has changed any momentum leave may have had and that there are just too many organisations and countries saying remain to be discounted. I do say this as I decided on Monday morning to vote remain but there were many other factors in my decision

    Leavers seem totally unable to understand that, presented with facts, one may reasonably abandon previously held views.

    So why does socialism still exist then?
    The operative word is 'may' abandon previously held views. No guarantee even when presented with facts people will change their views - it's mostly about gut instinct.

    And socialism does sounds appealing, at times.

    Did they ask the question about Remain?

    @britainelects: On the degree of risk to the British economy if Britain votes to remain:
    Big: 19%
    Slight: 34%
    Hardly any: 24%
    No risk: 18%
    (via ComRes)
    Excellent data. THESE are the figures that Leave need to work on.
    It's the slight Leave need to work on.

    Leave had a bad ITV News at Ten. Apparently Leave is causing unemployment to rise.

    That was IDS resigning.

    I have a few Leave slogans

    'Leave now, or forever hold your peace.'
    'Stop. Look. Listen. Leave.'
    'Remain is for life, not just for this mess'

    Sadly they're all flawed in some way, but you can't always find something with both bait and hook, by which I mean catchy and memorable, but also laying claim to a competitive position that undermines your competitor's position.

    The third option I find the best of the three. Not as short and punchy as the second, but does the undermining their competitor's position better.
