Re: The Thread of BREXIT
the pundits have been known to be wrong, and the polling institutions refuse to work because the scores are so close that the error margin is too great.

Farage has just been on the telly saying he thinks Remain will 'edge it' but that the campaign has been a great success for UKIP.

Re: The Thread of BREXIT
With so few votes counted it doesn't mean a lot. As a mathematics teacher you are undoubtedly aware of that. Just now the result has flipped: Stay: 51.2%. Leave: 48.8% at 13% of the votes.JimC wrote:Oh shit...

It might depend on whether either camp tend to be early voters or not...

Re: The Thread of BREXIT
More likely what polling booth submits results earlier or later. The very first result I saw was 95.3% in favour of staying. My guess is that it came from a polling booth in the CBD of London or some elitist suburb.JimC wrote:It might depend on whether either camp tend to be early voters or not...
Now it's remain: 49.9%, stay: 50.1% with 29.6% counted. Pretty close, aye?

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
