DJ Barry Hammond Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 I bet some of you thought this stuff would never end huh? Well, today's the day, it's now your turn to,do your bit and vote; http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/voting-in-person https://www.gov.uk/voting-in-the-uk/polling-stations Voting in person Your council will send you a poll card just before an election telling you where and when to vote. If you haven’t received a poll card but think you should, contact your local Electoral Registration Office. You can still vote if you’ve lost your card. Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on the day of the election (‘polling day’), and are usually located in public buildings like schools or local halls. When you get to the polling station Give your name and address to the staff inside the polling station when you arrive. You don’t have to take your poll card with you. You’ll be given a ballot paper containing a list of the people, parties or the options you can vote for. *Filling in your ballot paper *Take your ballot paper into a polling booth. *Follow the instructions on the notices in the polling booth and on the top of the ballot paper to vote. *Put it in the ballot box. If you're still struggling to decide, here's a link to the full facts guide who are impartial; https://fullfact.org/europe/ Note: If we are to respect normal customary protocol, all political discussion regarding the vote should now be held back until polls are closed. Mods - fancy stickying this for today only? Edit: I had added an exit poll to this thread, only to spot another one had been created - so I've deleted it. Apologies if you had already voted on here. The remaining exit poll can be found here http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/107362-foxestalk-euro-referendum-exit-poll/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 It still won't be the end - remain and there'll be an inquest, the rise of ukip support and lengthy attempts to renegotiate our membership. Leave and there'll be years of negotiating our way out and the start of the Scottish independence and irish reunification debates. It's going to rumble on either way.

Brizzle Fox Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 Well it seemed a lot busier this morning when I cast my vote than for normal elections. And so it should be. Started remain and remained remain all the way through. Disgustingly negative campaign from both sides, at times feeling like I was witnessing an extreme Tory leadership contest rather than anything more significant. No defining fact based arguments from either side, so nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Fox Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 Continued from previous post! To convince me to move away from the status quo, which I think may be the reaction of many when they hit the polling Booth (apologies for split post.

MCaineFOTT Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 You are aware if vote leave does win, the goverment have no obligation to leave. So they could turn round, stick the v's up and say we are staying anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LCFC_World Posted 23 June 2016 Share Posted 23 June 2016 Voted leave, but pretty sure remain has won this from mainly people of the younger generation.

And by the way, I'm part of the younger generation in case your wondering And, of course, there will be people voting leave because of equally spurious reasons. Just to keep everything nice and balanced Complaints on Twitter that pencils are there to help rig the vote, despite every election being done in.... amazingly... pencil Tonight's count will be extremely interesting. It could easily swing one way to another if heavily leave districts come in together, then remain districts counter! Any predictions on the county areas and how they'll vote? City - Heavy Remain Harborough - Heavy Leave Melton - Heavy Leave Blaby - Close Leave Oadby & Wigston - Heavy Remain Charnwood - Close Remain NW Leics - Heavy Leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 23 June 2016 Author Share Posted 23 June 2016 Been looking at some data to try and get a feel for what the various polls on foxestalk might mean on a wider scale. Quite difficult to do, but I would make the following assumptions; *Foxestalk appears to be more male orientated *In terms of age range of posters, i suspect the main demographic's would be 18-25 and 50+ ranges *Looking at the member map, the main focus area of posters is around Leicestershire and surrounding areas (naturally), but also along the M1 corridor to London. That said, it's not as dense a position as one might have thought. *In terms of suggested voting intentions for these areas, you have two central strong remain sections, surrounded by areas of light to strong leave. *There appears to be a fair amount of people that have attended University on these boards. *The board is culturally diverse. *I would suspect the average income on these broads to be above a national average Some of these factors are polar opposites in terms of demographic voting intentions, but if these assumptions were fair I would expect the overall view on foxestalk to lean more towards Remain - and so if the results on here were very close or pointing to leave, leave might actually be winning. That said, the polling data I've seen suggest women break out for Remain in a stronger proportion, so with that demographic missing from our sample, if Remain are showing in front by 2-3% on here, I expect that would point towards a Remain win nationwide.
