Psychoactive Substances: Rolling UK Politics in The Neo-Con Era

stupid question but is turnout a % of people who've registered to vote, or of all people of voting age etc?

the latter

I wonder about the effect that a remain vote will have on the right (especially the far right). The narrative has to change from Britain being a victim of Europe to something else. Their countrymen are no longer fellow victims but participants in their perceived oppression; collaborators or, at best, dupes. Obviously there is already a lot of that rhetoric on the far right, but I worry that it might increase it.

how long does it take for them to delete the croakers off the electoral register? There seems to have been a lot of dead voter fraud in the US in recent years but I can't recall much here.

back in the happy times of 2012 : when you registered a death, there was a single form that was for all various govt departments.

of course this may have been killed off, but i got a very quick acknowledgement re bh in regards to her benefits/electoral role etc.

was all rather impressive given the usual ineptitude that we have come to accept.

:(

who is the form team atm for tv coverage - bbc or itv?

Sorry I used such an indelicate term mark. I was more thinking about 90 year old Tories when I posted.

'so, if I vote for "Leave", that means "Leave it as it is?""

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing in ooh, two minutes.

Does that mean Farage has seen some of the private exit polls?

he is an ex-banker and the polls were conducted by banks right?

Pound gone nuts http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GBPUSD=X

92% remain according to bookies now

Is that a glitch? Pound fell 17 cents against the dollar three minutes after polls closed and then immediately recovered?

I wonder about the effect that a remain vote will have on the right (especially the far right). The narrative has to change from Britain being a victim of Europe to something else.

It will change to Britain being a victim of the vote being a con, picking up a few nasty intimations on the way (you can see that on that tweet, people already mad that there's been fraud by 'globalists').

If it's close they will be absolutely sure they would have won without Cox dying.

No one at this point is doubting it will be a remain right? Just seems it's v important if remain strikes up either 50-55% (bad for all involved) or 56% and up (not good but better for all involved). If it's not distinctive a choice, the UK an EU will keep each other in a stronghold. Stand stil.

I wonder if farage will resign again.

I wouldn't count any chickens at this stage. Turnout will be crucial.

Yeah, I considered taking a half day tomorrow but then I remembered how that went last time.

The enormous pound spike thing is probably real but isn't necessarily due to large trades. Most markets are shut right now.

IN, IN, IN, IN, IN

LBI, is there much appetite for a proper referendum (rather than a proxy referendum on Ukrainian potato tariffs) in the Netherlands?

odds are way in favour for remain - 9-1 v 1-11 - fear the fallout but at least it's looking good for the present

Sadly, ShariVari, there is. Same right wing nutters that threw that disgrace of a Ukranian referendum in our lap are already ligned up. Wilders - our Farage but even more of a blatant racist - orgasms at the very idea of a "Nexit". And he's the biggest party in the polls. Still, a Nexit referendum would require a change of the constitution, which would take years so is disheartening for the far right.

So it won't happen soon. But are these truly dark times? Most definitely.

IPSOS MORI Brexit poll Remain 54% Leave 46%

Now I've got the phrase "lorem ipsos, memento mori" going round in my head. Stupid brainworms.

Fwiw my 82 year old mum and 83 year old neighbour. Neighbour's explanation was that "ye already don't know where ye soon with these nutcasees" (ston=stand)

Oops. both voted remain.

Well I fucked that up good and proper.

newcastle city council's logo is so ugly

Oh fuck, Newcastle was one of the safest remainers!

I don't know anything about it but apparently Newcastle is a terrible result for Remain. 60-40 was expected.
