Danny, there's no exit poll as it's a one-to-one relationship between your vote and the outcome. Exit polls are useful for when constituencies are being counted, but serve little purpose on this scale? That was my thinking anyway.

Doesn't matter, jackdaw. Mr Osborne (who assured us he has - irresponsibly - made no plans for "Brexit") has told us that trading on the Stock Market is likely to be suspended in the event of a Leave vote anyway.
I think that it won't be a close contest , but rather the remainiacs will win by a clear margin .

Many people who might be / had been considering putting there x in the Brexit box , will have 'cold' feet ( with respect to change ) at the last moment when they are in the booth ; and plump for the remain option

Yeah, let TTT have an avatar.
How do the bookies know ??
That’s what i read too Jackdaw, specifically to limit currency speculation
They don't know. The more money bet on a horse, the shorter the odds become. Much more money has been bet on REMAIN than LEAVE but that tells us nothing as to how people are voting.
That's ok then.
The notion that the bookies never get it wrong is both true and false. They never get it wrong from their point of view because they can balance losses against gains. Imagine if they were taking odds on who would be PM by Xmas, Corbyn or Johnson. If millions were bet on Corbyn as opposed to a few grand on Johnson, then Corbyn would be odds-on favourite. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.
Some on here seem to be setting a lot of store by the bookies.
I'm glad that the Ed has decided not to include an exit poll on this site, as we don't really] want to see him sent to prison, do we folks?

It's a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to publish an exit poll (or even just how one person has voted) while voting is actually taking place. The maximum penalty is a £5000 fine and/or SIX MONTHS IN PRISON.

Professor Curtice gives the reason why there is no exit Poll this evening.

Does anybody on here really think that somebody, presumably Dave will "fiddle" this Referendum ?

As anybody asked David Icke what he thinks ?
