Brexit doom, brexit doom, brexit doom!

[Eirikur]

A discussion at the workplace amongst the contractors (20) showed a split 50/50 pretty much between youngsters (20+ something) who wanted to remain and oldies (40+ something) who were all for leaving

Suppose on the day it will all be down to wcba to go and vote -hopefully youthful inertia will prevail

it's clear the future generation wants to remain. The oldies shouldn't f'#k up their futures by voting exit.

I asked my children aged 14 and they want to leave. Lower house prices.

The are happy to have more immigrants AFTER we have built more houses.

The young are thick chunts if they think remaining is better for them.

personally i don`t give a flying fook what it does to our house prices economic future or anything else, it would just be nice to try something new.

I asked the Intern, what he favoured. Remain he said, I asked why. Its the status quo.

he wasn't the only one who said that.

What the naive and misguided future generation wants, and what is in their best interests, may not be the same thing.

The majority of the voting public is small-c conservative and they will vote for the quo. The Bremainers are doing their best to scupper this advantage, but their screeching hysteria won't completely sink this underlying conservatism. What's perhaps more interesting is whether Hamface will face a vote of no confidence following Bremain. Even if he'd easily win it, this would mean almost certain departure before 2019. I don't foresee another referendum, but perhaps a Conservative Party Manifesto commitment (to leave) if Korbyn is still in place

I think many of the Brexiters will vote against remain as a means of kicking back at the establishment especially at Cameron's hysterical scaremongering.

Yeah, they definitely will, and I think this is reflected in the headline polling so far (given the establishment onslaught), but I doubt it will be in the required numbers. The average punter is just too conservative, unless there's a crisis situation. The polling has been much closer than I ever anticipated, not least because the Bremain arguments are so hysterical. Boris isn't the most trusted politician, but he's hammering Cameron and others in trust ratings on the EU, which is a strong indication of how badly the Bremain campaign has backfired (so far). But polls are frequently misleading. I think the economic arguments will scare a lot of people, ultimately. The Brexiters may reign some of this back by instilling a similar level of fear about the EU as a process (Five Presidents report etc.), rather than as a status quo.

Personally, I think Cameron should go after the vote. He's turned a serious decision for generations to come into a pantomime by reversing his previous Euroscepticism so emphatically. I chuckled at Isabel Oakeshott the other day when she referred to him as having been radicalised by his own campaign; exactly right
