Yeah, that's just Sibboleth.  He's a random newbie who knows nothing about British politics or the inner workings of the Labour Party.

Is there a recent poll broken down by (current) party allegiance?  Or party they voted for last year, or something.

I wonder which way UKIP voters are favoring??

Interesting, thanks.  I'd have expected LDs to be stronger Remainers than Labour, rather than the same?  And 5% of UKIP voters don't seem to understand the question.

  Chris, keep working on your sister, I hope you turn her around.  Has the leave side mentioned the positive precedent of Switzerland, a non-EU state that is doing just fine without membership?

Switzerland has adopted many key EU laws over the years, such as freedom of movement and various economic regulations, in order to further smoothen trade between the two entities.  And how much of a say has Switzerland had in any of those laws' original passage?

Nice to think that most of the people voting for Brexit won't be around in about 20 years to share the consequences...

The New York Times brought up a good point by pointing out that voters are expecting Remain to win by a clear plurality, which is reportedly a better indicator than a normal poll of voting intentions:

A plurality?  Aren't there only two options on the ballot?

Looking at the results both in this referendum and the AV vote in 2011, the area around the Wash seems... quite... consistent.
