odds for 'out' to win are identical to those for Labour to win most seats at the next election so the bookies don't think its uncertain (and that's with 90% of the bets going on 'out')

Can't be arsed checking mate, but what are the current odds, is 'In' favourite by a good way?

That is exactly what everyone said in Scotland, it seemed like everyone was voting out and that independence was the only way. Must admit when talking with family and friends back in the UK or people out here short term and voting the exact opposite is true it would be mainly in .

I went to Edinburgh for the festival, a couple of weeks before the vote. Everywhere you looked there were "Yes" flags, lots of people wearing Yes badges. You really would have expected at least 80% of them to vote Yes. Yet Edinburgh had the biggest No vote.

A 50 something mate of mine living in Scotland voted No "because of the pension". All his mates of the same age voted No "because of the pension". It wasn't something they were going to take to the streets shouting about though.

They will certainly believe themselves right, as do outers. Your second paragraph is also probably right, apart from the education bit, as it assumes older university educated people
are voting in; not the case everytime, although it's impossible to determine accurately. I'd agree about big business, certainly at senior management level, at worker level, again not so sure.
Small businesses are the biggest employers overall, so if they're predominantly outers, the outcome appears far from certain.

My comments are very general as clearly even in the areas mentioned it is only 70:30 or 60:40 there will clearly be old rural labourers voting in and young graduates in London voting outburst in and out becomes more likely By geography or demographics.

That suggests all the big professional money is on in and all the punters are on out as where the odds sit suggests 75% of the £ is on in so if 90% of bets are out that suggests that on average an in bet is 30x an out bet on average
 
Hopefully the national vote will replicate the poll on here.
All the ones who are in love with the idea of unelected, undemocratic and facist european state can go live in one if its micro states if it means so much to them.
 
If, and its a big if, the vote to leave wins, will the Scots defo get another chance to vote to go it alone so they can vote to go back into the EU?
 
So on one side of the argument you have The government, The Treasury, the IMF, Nato, Barack Obama, The leaders of the opposition and 39 chairmen/chief executives of the FTSE 100.

On the other side you have Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nigel Farage and George Galloway.

Tough one that.

Indeed it is. One bunch of self serving cunts or the other.

Well many of us would consider that about right as plagues of locusts, people living to 1000, Adam and Eve etc are as credible as most of the Brexit fantasies - it certainly is an act of blind faith so she'd approve

Again if you think that today's Europe is facist you really need to go and see the world, consider reading history or if it is just rhetoric not gross ignorance try making sensible comments not trolling
 
The EU to Become a “U.S. Colony”? The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) would Abolish Europe’s Sovereignty
by Peter Koenig.
International “free trade” agreements such as the TTIP and the TPP which will override the National Sovereignty of any country who signs them, the Constitution of any country, their Constitutional law courts and any laws that any government may or may not make regarding health regulations, minimum wage regulations or environmental requirements. Far from being Capitalism with checks and balances restricting monopolies, it is a form of Corporate Fascist hegemonic colonialism and Corporate Empire building, eliminating all competition in the interests of monopolies.
