As Will Self put it succinctly, not all Brexiters are racists, but all racists will be voting for Brexit.
Wow! Will Self said something succinctly?!
Did he manage to do it without looking/sounding like a self important pompous git as well? (Actually I enjoy his articles by and large, but good lord he bloviates).
He's also wrong, although naturally I only have anecdote - I know two definite racists who say they're voting Remain - they think Boris will be a disaster, the EU will punish us hard and we'll suffer economically, and apparently even the promise of cutting immigration isn't enough to overcome that.
It's over. Pack your bags. I will vote LEAVE tomorrow confident in the knowledge that my vote means nothing, and the successful REMAIN referendum campaign will reinforce the value of my Primrose Hill (borders) flat
lol
I will vote Remain but I hope the final result is closer to yougov than Comres, still tighter than the final indyref though so UKIP still has hope of a mini SNP revival if Remain do win. Still could change tomorrow night but it looks like Cameron will bow out as a lucky git...yet again, 2 election wins and 3 referendum wins even better than Blair (albeit no landslides apart from the AV ref!)
His reputation will be the same as Blair's in a few years though. Of course he probably won't care anymore than Blair does.
So either Online (Leave) or Phone (Remain) wins. We'll know soon enough.
One thing the polls can't allow for (IUIC) is that the postal votes were actioned when LEAVE were at the height of their polling popularity. So Leave may already have a decent lead that REMAIN could struggle to overturn.

I haven't got a clue what the result will be tomorrow. Then again neither does Dave - and that will leave him curled up overnight clutching his teddy as he has repeated nightmares about his "legacy".

That's such idiotic thinking, and it's actually similar to racist thinking: "not all young black males in Brixton are muggers", etc. Damned right they're not!
I still can't understand the betting prices. People are willing to risk entire pots of money for a chance that they will get them back wih 25% interest added if Remain win. How can they be so sure?

There seems to be a widespread view that:-
1. Online polls are crap.
2. Telephone polls that don't put Leave well ahead are crap.
That seems the very definition of confirmation bias.
