And DH only understands 13th century French (not a joke).

Bury my gold and set sail to the edge of the map.

My choice of vote is obviously the right choice, but if the wrong choice wins I won't be devastated. Slighly perplexed, I'll probably see it as people believing all the threats and lies that have been constantly thrown at us by our self serving corrupt elites.

There are valid reasons for both IN and OUT, and it will be interesting to see how the Tory party recover from this bitch fight.

Hockeydude · 20/06/2016 08:58

On Friday I shall be thrilled. Whichever way the vote goes.

Because I think that all the time spent campaigning should have been spent sorting out our various issues. I actually have no understanding whatsoever of why the general public are voting on this matter. We have democratically elected politicians who are supposed to be experts in their field, teams of economists etc etc.

There are several intelligent, highly educated, switched on members of the public who still do not know which way to vote. I don't consider myself to have the answer as to which vote is correct, I don't know why I am being asked to vote on a matter which I have no professional expertise in.

I think I might have to marry DP and then apply for my Irish passport!

Cockadoodledooo · 20/06/2016 09:06

I will be having a party regardless - it's my 40th birthday Grin

Millyonthefloss2 · 20/06/2016 09:10

I will be bitterly disappointed and then I will just have to get over it and get on with my life.

I will be bitterly disappointed because it is now crystal clear to me that the EU is both ruthless and incompetent.

My colleagues and customers in Southern Europe are having austerity forced upon them whilst being locked into a single currency that makes it impossible for their goods to compete and for their businesses to recover and grow. That's why their young people have to come here and work on zero hours contracts for Sports Direct.

In our own interests I think the UK needs to cut itself free from the stagnant economy of the EU. In the interests of other countries I believe a Brexit vote is the only way to start the reform of this incompetent and ruthless regime. Wavering out voters, please turn out and vote Leave!

KleineDracheKokosnuss · 20/06/2016 09:11

Oh. I will also see what percentage voted and if high be pleased that something does get people engaged.

YourPerception · 20/06/2016 09:11

Happy birthday for Friday.🔱

Whatever the outcome, life will go on as it does today.

So quite a lot of people will go back to their European country of birth? Says it all really.

YourPerception · 20/06/2016 09:15

In the interests of other countries I believe a Brexit vote is the only way to start the reform I agree. I hope if several others leave it may not be able to continue with ever closer union.

Brush up my CV.

I'll start saving for the £1,156 naturalisation fee.

drspouse · 20/06/2016 09:18

DP says he will investigate Scottish citizenship!

I have always thought I could get Irish citizenship as my grandfather's family history is Irish but I discovered a few years ago they'd moved to Scotland by the time he was born so I may do this too!
I have another nationality through my mother but it is also a country that is down the tubes.

What is this supposed to mean?

Excuse immigrants for not feeling like staying in a country that just made it clear it didn't want them

TheFairyCaravan · 20/06/2016 09:24

I'm already dreading waking up on Friday.

I shall be disappointed and very worried about my children's future.

Salmiak · 20/06/2016 09:24

It's difficult for me - on a bigger society view level I want to remain in. So if it's an in vote I'll be happy. I'm an eu citizen living in the UK, life would be simpler if the status quo remained the same.

However, I've got quite a lot of money in euros. If it's an out vote and sterling plummets I'll happily take advantage of a good exchange rate, and then use said money to buy another house in the resulting house price crash... so in a sick and twisted way an out vote would be a financially good thing for me.

MangoMoon · 20/06/2016 09:34

Oh. I will also see what percentage voted and if high be pleased that something does get people engaged.

Me too Kleine, regardless of the outcome I hope it's a good high turnout.

Whatever the decision, that would hopefully signal a renewed interest in our democracy and a move away from the apathy of the last few decades.

Chris1234567890 · 20/06/2016 09:35

So I'll take my highly-educated, high-tax-rate-paying ass to another country in the EU. I have no desire to bring up my DC in a country where the views of the Leave campaign are dominant.

Wow. Guess Frances' 75% tax and the legal requirement to pay for your own healthcare won't appeal to you then. Curious, which country would you be heading to next?

itsbetterthanabox · 20/06/2016 09:36

It's not legally binding. The government don't have to follow the outcome of the referendum.

YourPerception · 20/06/2016 09:37

I would've thought out would knock the £ and €. The $ should do well in event of a leave vote.

I doubt house prices will drop. I imagine homebuilding will slow down and house prices stop rising. Which is good for generation rent.

I'll probably cry, watch things unravel on Twitter and the news (I'll take a day off work) and then seriously consider if we should continue with our flat purchase.

I'll also worry about the country and know that a large percentage of the leave voters who are racist (and please don't try and pretend they don't exist) will have the validation they've been seeking.

A leave vote will also validate Farage who is a dangerous unpleasant individual. He won't think twice about taking a seat in the HoL or even the HoC if there's a change of prime minister.

Margrethe · 20/06/2016 09:38

To be honest, half the kids coming out of high school go onto Uni now, and high rate tax paying kicks in at £32,001. So, not that special really.

kirinm · 20/06/2016 09:38

It's not good for generation rent. If interest rates rise, so will rents.
