    I wonder if we going to get an EU vow.

    Not sure what you mean, but I think we are getting quite close to Cameron making an "emergency" appeal for the people to vote REMAIN.
    Me too, how he could do it - and who'd believe a word of it is another matter.

    Have you not got a threader on how SHIT the LEAVE campaign is, to console yourself? You ran seventeen fucking thousand of them earlier in the month, despite some of us telling you this was bollocks?

    Surely there's one left? No? Just one? Maybe an earnest nine hundred page analysis by Alistair Meeks? No? Really? Nothing?

    What a farce you have made of this site. A BETTING site. And we warned you, time and again.
    The Referendum has not yet been won, and hither, the Leave campaign has been poor (but may now be hitting it's stride).

    We can do it.

    I know I'm actually starting to feel we could win this now. I know peope said this in Scotland but the union of the U.K is about the heart aswell as the head the E.U is only about your head.
    Union of GB&NI much more important to the people of these islands than Kinnocks pension fund.

    Haha Sean. Come off the fence please?

    Spot on though. This site is crap sometimes.* It got GE2015 utterly wrong, thanks to the thread writers' refusal to remove their blinkers. You'd think they'd have learned some humility but, nope, the same old one-sided garbage thread after thread despite clearly and evidentially flying in the face of public opinion (and the majority of punters on here).


    * Cue kindergarten response of: if you don't like it then leave nah nah nah nah
    Actually the beauty of this site is its diversity. I've just started writing thread headers - which have been graciously published despite my views not aligning with many other headers. And, of course, the comments section can be where the true tips are found!

    In just over two weeks time we could be celebrating British independence. Wow.

    All the more reason for those of us on the side of democracy and sovereignty to campaign harder than ever before. Let's make the final push and do this! #VoteLeave

    Interesting to note with these polls now is postal voting is taking place right now....

    Peter Kellner - based on these figures from your own polling company, do you still believe that "REMAIN are probably still ahead .... just" ??

    Mind you it was about this time in indyref yougov had Yes ahead, still a fortnight to go and the main change is some undecideds have shifted to Leave while Remain is unchanged, where the rest of the undecideds go will be pivotal. Goodnight
    It is EERILY echoic. EVERYTHING about this referendum follows the Scottish referendum.

    I fear the final result will be the same.

    On the upside, I also expect a huge emotional swing to euroscepticism after a narrow REMAIN win, just like in Scotland. I believe I was the first pb-er to predict this in Scotland, and now the first to predict this UK-wide.
    Two big differences though.

    Leave now is polling higher than Scottish Indy was at this stage in the campaign.

    Lack of 'European' attachment by the public whereas had British in IndyRef.

    It is winnable.

    "The Yougov figures also showed trust in figures including Jeremy Corbyn and David Cameron has fallen, with 72 per cent of the public saying they did not trust the Prime Minister"

    Cameron has destroyed himself with Project Fear, he's become a laughing stock.
    Remain need to lock him in a cupboard :)

    I don't personally visit political sites for their prognostication prowess or balanced opinions. Some are better than others, but pundits and the commentariat who flutter around, weirdo political anoraks like us, are wrong much more than we are right, and even the professionals don't let being wrong all the time slow them down.

    I visit sites for interesting discussion and reasonableness of tone, personally. I've been commenting less because the euro ref has turned us all a little bit mad, but decrying the blinkers of political anoraks strikes me as fighting the wrong battle. Somewhere is calling the campaign right but is it interesting and, by Internet standards, hospitable? Possibly, but possibly not. But being right in a thread header or article means little. Dan hodges was right about much of ge 2015, but the comment threads underneath his pieces were not an engaging place to be, though amusing to read.

    I trust that is not kindergarten enough for you, as though whinging is less so.

    I'm a leaver by the way, if that matters.

    Indeed, UKIP could see a mini-SNP style surge if Remain edge it

    "TNS POLL FINDS".

    There I said it just to please our European neighbours.
    Over a third of French voters want us to leave though, no surprise given De Gaulle vetoed UK entry in the first place!
    Probably the same third of French voters that want to leave themselves
