I know that most forums won't give a toss about any of this, but just to keep you involved I've included a strawpoll.
It has options for both people who are eligible to vote and non-eligible. It'll be interesting to see which way the forums will swing.

well today is a very important day but i'd honestly be quite surprised if leaving was the outcome that happened

The Resonte! · June 22, 2016, 06:45:50 PM

is there a basic outline of pros and cons for the decisions? or is it just politically complex

good luck doughboy and sir dooble and maxwell i think and other uks

i don't know a lot about uk politics, but i feel like it's unlikely that the vote would be to leave. people tend to prefer potentially dangerous inaction over potentially dangerous action

As an American THIS guy did a pretty good job of explaining it to me, also he's funny.

It's a stupidly complicated geo-political decision pushed onto the general public of the UK

Last time I checked the county I'm in (Devon) seems to favor remain in the opinion polls, but anyway this referendum has split the country in half already imo.

When I start to conquer the earth it will be easier to take over Europe if they aren't cooperating with each other...

I'm in (North) Devon too, and I was led to believe we were edging towards the Leave vote as a county.
That's the image I get from all the sgns and stuff at least.

I'm pro-leave, btw, and will be voting so tomorrow. I am entirely uncertain as to the result though.

The PM being killed had nothing to do with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHaVfJSVEMQ

Just going to say no where in that video did it say it "had nothing to do with this".

If anything it reinforces how involved that was. The guy is affiliated with Britain First which is a nationalist party on the Vote Leave side and even stated his name as "My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain" in court.
His actions in no way reflect all Vote Leave campaigners and it'd be dumb to think that.

The thread is to just inform people that they need to vote and what your options are.
Not further propaganda from either side, other than each campaigns official websites.
