I will take great pleasure in walking into the polling station and voting NO :)

I had made my mind up when it was agreed to have the referendum and have not been watching or reading any on the news and tv coverage. I have no time for the EU and never will.

The question here is, would it be in the EU's best interest to slap charges on that would increase the cost of holidays? And once they have your tourism, would it be in their interest to scrap the roaming charges?

Your preaching to the choir Brian we know that Spain, Italy and Portugal are not going to favour anything that would increase holiday prices thus damaging their tourism income and as far as roaming charges if they do increase post brexit it will be an act of pettiness.

Happily CF isn't a representative sample ;) Online polling has proved more favourable for Brexit, telephone polling for remain. The 10 point lead for Brexit in the latest Independent poll was online, the same sort of poll that proved very misleading in the GE .

It's a representative sample of the views of those registered with this forum. The political leanings of the members of this forum do tend to sway to the right from what i've seen generally, so the result is probably influenced by that.

It doesn't claim to be scientific or represent the population as a whole.

At the time of writing the result is more or less the opposite of what the bookies are saying ie 70% of CF members are in favour of us leaving V a 71% predicted result to stay.

Those who can't make up their mind (or those that can but want to do it out of interest) are invited to take this quiz put together by experts:

It's confidential, but you can share the result here if you wish.

I'm one of the many undecided, but this test says that I am 52% in and 48% out.

What's the point of polls? To try and predict the final result. Even the professional polling companies are showing very different results depending on whether the poll is online or done by telephone. (Online favours Brexit, Phone polls tend to favour remain).

Online results are usually obtained by inviting people to participate in their own time and don't involve interacting with another person.

Telephone polls are usually done by cold calling people at random, so there may be a factor of annoyance, just wanting to get rid of them or embarrassment about giving the true answer.

It's for these reasons I believe the online poll to be more accurate ie a vote to leave.

However, the result predicted by the bookies involves them making or paying out hard cash and they are predicting a 71% share to remain.

You are right in that the various polls are giving contradictory results, I think that this goes to show that a lot of voters are confused or uncertain at this stage.
