RE: How are you voting in the EU referendum?

I just voted now to leave.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I wouldn't vote to join so I'm voting to leave. The European project doesn't convince me I'm afraid.

Remain, because I'm not a cunt.

The EU may be a cunt, but I'd still like to remain inside it as long as possible. Pulling out now could cause a very messy situation.

I'm still undecided, really. I've seen the arguments from both camps and I'm swaying towards Leave rather - not for jingoistic nationalist reasons, but more that the Remain side, I feel, hasn't made a compelling case. Cameron's recent press appeal for everyone to vote Remain was a farce. I can't believe I'm saying this but BoJo walked all over him.
I will vote, because I know that people died to give me that right. Where my cross falls I probably won't know for sure until I get there.

Actually, spoiling the ballot paper is a legitimate option, which really ought to be reflected in the straw poll.

In all seriousness, I think leaving is a big gamble, for the UK and for much of the world in general. It could be great, it could be awful. My refusal to leave is based on not wanting to take that gamble on behalf of the world.

I think the UK will remain, but it will be interesting to see the results.
The dividing line between people is really diverse. Just from talking to people last night I know a gay couple one of the guys is voting leave the other is voting remain, a girl and her housemate one wants to remain the other wants to stay. It's not as predictable as I thought it would be when talking to people about it.
