Brexit doom, brexit doom, brexit doom!

This Saturday in my local Town Center a "Leave" camp had set up, I got talking to the people running it (I said I'm already voting Leave) and asked "Out of all of the people that you've spoken to, would you say it's a 50/50 split or is there a majority one way or another?" He explained that the vast majority of people they've spoken to, including going into shops etc. and talking to owners, are in favour of an exit. Obviously people coming up to their stall will largely be supporting them, but what he said about going in shops etc. struck a chord.
Also, the idiots that will just vote "Stay" because of a supposed 'Status Quo' really need to wake up. One analogy I saw was, imagine you're on a big blue EU bus, the destination is "EU Superstate", leading to a future with no democracy, an EU Commission made up of unelected/unknown members, no accountability, no ability to write our own laws, a loss of sovereignty etc. We're currently on that bus, we need to get off it for us to (in the short term) maintain the 'Status Quo'.
