Yeah and that is the choice of others, what this also does is expose false Christianity and others should be made aware of how Satan masquerades as an angel of light through the worldly political system.

I'm very political and I am very Christian ...in fact its ungodly to set bye and not express your God-given right to speak against evil as evil overtakes your society.

At the end of the day, absolutely NOBODY (except God) knows what the furure holds for the UK if the electorate votes to leave!

Personally, my vote is for the "stay in" camp.

No one knows the future in or out tbh, where will Europe go? Personally I think whatever the result this is the beginning of the end of the EU, lots of calls for referendums in other EU states now - France and Finland will be next at the polling booths. The EU will ultimately implode.

Funny business is a possibility, but I've run a few elections myself and never did any exit polling. It's more useful to determine target universes beforehand, develop a turnout model, and get them out along with anybody else who would be motivated to vote.

Since this data is pretty easy to play with geographically, on election day itself it is more useful to take those models and guesstimate who is voting based on raw turnout numbers. It's typically more accurate than exit polling and gives the campaigns more actionable data to work off of.

Again, funny business is a possibility, but true exit polling is going the way of the horse and buggy.

Seriously, good luck uniting the world when you can't even get the most technocratic portion of the world to stand in line. If we get to the point of Frexit, then conspiracy theorists will have to do some fancy footwork.

Its my understanding that is the common practice to do this kind of exit polling ..but now its not allowed? I don't trust these world government left-wingers for a min ..and who is going to watch them ..when the conservatives are in the EU bed too? I don't like it and It sounds very fishy to me

It does strike me as odd. I mean the industry is heading in the direction of no exit polling. That's legislative elections in the US though. Normally these things take longer to cross the pond.

I suppose I should read more about the circumstances surrounding this.

Sigh.

The reasons given for no exit poll is that:
A, They are expecting it to be too close to call and in recent times exit polls have got it wrong.
b, Unlike government election this poll is an across the board poll - no seats but proportional representation.

I heard there was some sort of survey taken 52% stay/ 48% exit. Seems a little fishy though, I mean no room for undecideds?

So they have stopped using exit polls for all votes now? Don't sound like a good reason to me ... when they have been using them up til now

Time to gain control of our own country again. People are stupid for making decisions based on just a couple of policies, like the young man on the train who was proudly showing off in front of his lefty liberal female companion, saying how anyone who votes for Leave is racist.

This is not like an election that you just pick a party based on your favourite political passion. This is about allowing our country to be raped of money and resources without anything in return and to give up sovereignty. Each year that goes by more powers and laws will be taken from us and made by the EU, which we have little or no influence over.

We ran an Empire without having to answer to Europe. We are the 5th strongest economy in the world, not some little tiny island that would go under if it left the EU. We have a Commenwealth and can do a lot better with real trade agreements with them, something we can not do while in the EU.

I could rant on, but those who have not yet voted, get your backsides down to the polling station and vote LEAVE.

I have voted to leave the EU just as I did in 1975. I have heard all the arguments for remaining before. Whatever the result I feel the EU has no future and that it will eventually disintegrate. The UK is not the only Country within the EU that has serious issues with it.

I am posting this at 23.40. As yet there has been no single result submitted from any part of the UK yet so anything said is mere speculation. However the whole campaign has been full of lies and half truths mainly from the remain camp and
most people think it will be a very close. This means that the UK is split almost in half on the issue.

GET IN THERE LEAVE!

They said Newcastle would be a strong remain, one of the top 40 to vote remain, but it was 49.3 leave and 50.7 REmain.

Sunderland would be 50-50, but result was 61% for leave!

looking good for leave so far.
