Just driven about 20 miles along the coast along the main road.

I must have seen 100+ leave signs, and not one remain.

I know signs don't get a vote, but it even surprised me.

You should keep your eyes on the road.

If we are out, that's it.

If it's close, but we remain, we will do it again in about 5 years.

It will fail eventually just like the Soviet Bloc - greed from the top being the cause. At least we will have the comfort of trading with 28 + other bankrupt countries :roll: It is going to be amazing seeing the shocked faces of all of those who vote to stay, when they realise that the "Grants and rebates" that they covet, and take as a given, are no longer coming to the UK! Other countries who are in a worse state than us will be having them instead :cry:

Strangely that is the figure that I had in mind.

I doubt that any Government would want to go through this again so quick.

I have obviously voted in. However if the Country decides that the vote should be out then I will accept that decision. How many of the out voters will do the same if the Country decides to stay in?

I think they will after the four year deal Cameron got runs out.

Not sure any of us have much choice in respect of accepting it, as it is what it is.

However I will do my utmost to fight against it and will never vote for a party unless their mandate included EU reform.

I would expet EU reform to be on all the manifestos if we stay in. Oh except UKIP of course.

The only problem being with that is......Cameron would claim that he has reformed the EU! many others would also attempt the same spiel!

I get that, but my vote will only go to a party that promises to put all their energies into EU reform.

And if none of the normal party's offer it, then it will save me licking the envelope on the postal ballot.

All that said, I expect the rest of this Tory government to be very right wing.
