Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
the Pound and FTSE100 have been rising all morning.
the bookies have Brexit on 17% to win just now.

They must have factored in that Cunard has managed to get all 3 Queens home in time for voting, although Mary has come in from Hamburg.
turnout: 67%-70%
remain: 60%
leave: 40%
those are my guesses based on bookies' probability that currently put leave at just 14% to win. Current odds are remain: 1/10 leave: 6/1. Still time to bet.
TBH, I believe it's better to wait 5 or 10 more years before revisiting this question. I'd like to see two or three ring Europe.

I agree, I posted previously that I thought the turnout would be over 60%, and even a bit over 70% wouldn't surprise me. There's far more interest in this than in a general election.
The only turnout problem I can see is the weather, with showers forecast between 5 pm and 8 pm in my area.
I also see a remain win.

I'm off to Nice in a few weeks, it has been a lovely summer here so far, but I'm prepared to put up with hookers on plastic chairs (not to mention face lifts and hair implants in that neck of the woods) for the sake of a 23C ocean and some proper food and cappuccino
I really don't know why flud is obsessed with the hookers. It's like judging the English by their football hooligans. One was interviewed by French TV a few days ago. He told the camera: the EU don't know our drinking laws, we can drink outside in the streets if we want. **** the EU. I'll vote out.

crikey, didn't know French hookers were doing interviews on TV about EU drinking laws
( must confess there is a lewd part of my psyche that could get used to a laissez faire Europe, hookers and allaaah, I see. but it could have been much more interesting if one was a tattooed French hooker, they also have very strong opinions.
Exchanged all my savings into dollars with the favourable exchange rate.
Hedging my bets on the USA to raise interest rates after the vote.

Let's have a bit more faith among the Brexit supporters
I remain convinced of a major victory for them with a commanding majority.
I don't like the idea one bit, but still feel that as a nation we are drawn like moths to a flame to any situation where we can see ourselves battling against the world with the odds against us.
And we feel they have somehow done the dirty on us.

On a mischievous note, I wonder how many postal votes came in with a Romanian stamp on the envelope.

I wonder if Putin has set aside some Vodka and a corset as he sits up to watch this evenings poll results come in?
The corset is to prevent a rupture from him laughing by the way!
I don't share your optimism for a BREXIT victory. I think many people will, "bottle it" in the voting booth and that will lead to a victory for remain.
Could be a unique moment when we are both hoping we are wrong?
