I'm with Moist. As the world connects us even further, other than language, I can see the same aspirations and fears in people irrespective of the lottery that decided where and to whom they would be born.
I don't see how an isolationist, pull up the drawbridge approach, fits in with an ever more integrated world driven by technology and the freedom to travel and therefore I hope remain win.
I'm not an EU political zealot but if we did vote out I fear for the mandate this would seem to give Gove, Johnson and the right and their view of a free market however in the main mine has been a vote based on my natural optimism that we are better focusing on what unites us rather than what divides.
Hey ho, we'll know in 22 hours or so.

The EU has no trade deals with China, India, Japan or the USA.
Not exactly a Global economy is it.

A bit late in the day. I wish that people had seen this earlier and this guy could have debated with the prominent Brexiters.

Bookies odds dropping - currently 1/9 for Remain and 11/2 leave. B365.

Identical to the Mike Tyson Buster Douglas odds.

Spreadex have their spread set at 55% remain and 45% leave. Will it be more or less decisive than that?

Whichever way it goes the wider the winning margin the better.
If it is close then the losing side will contest all sorts of things about the result and its legitimacy. The matter needs to be boxed up and put away because only then can the healing the country so badly needs from what has been a nasty, divisive process begin.

Interesting that Ladbrokes have confirmed that they have received twice as many bets to leave the EU this week than stay but the average bet for stay is 5 times that of leave.
Given that bookmakers odds being slashed were partly responsible for the sentiment which drove the pound this week could there be people out there who have speculated with a bet knowing that the markets would react and could therefore take favourable positions for even greater profits?
