65% is a landslide in this kind of vote. I'm guessing Remain with maybe a 1-2% margin. If it's Leave with a similar margin, I think Westminster might overturn it.
I suspect that if there's a tiny margin like that, whoever loses is going to scream fraud, voters being unfairly influenced etc.
It'd be pretty ballsy for someone to try pulling off voting fraud
Jeeez, I'll need to go through your latest fishery posts again to show you where you're wrong. Will do that late, but just to be clear, you agree that your early point about the european boats getting access to the 12 nm of British territorial water being the cause of the collapse of the British industry is shite, right?
This post is prolly most relevant to you
I'm pretty sure he still thinks the EU is to blame as far back as the 70s and that it's the EU fault the UK gave dirty johny foreigner fishing rights. Oh, but I haven't been understanding him.
Goodness gracious mainiac, tone down the Salon snark. If I can refrain from mentioning lolbertarians, you can act with restraint too :

On a related note, my hopes for this thread is that if we are to discuss facts, then when we make statements asserting facts, that we provide sources for these claims. This is not directed at anyone in particular, but I've seen it occur frequently amongst many posters where this has happened, or where people have called sources variations of bogus or misleading for reasons without any evidence.
If we are to discuss opinions then my second hope is that it is to understand each others viewpoints, and not seek to create hostile tribes of self-affirming clans that accept opinions as facts.
My third hope is that if the former two goals are unachievable on Bay12, then at least the conversation can be sincere and civil.
I should look forward to tomorrow, not just for the culmination of so much work from every camp, but largely because trying to keep a thread together on such a hot issue requires immense patience and dedication spent on one thread that I shall be glad to abandon xD
Speaking of which, I will not be posting or monitoring this thread much if at all tomorrow (for obvious reasons), but I'll keep it unlocked as even at its worst, I've only seen a lot of baitposting without actual flaming ITT and that was just for a day. With that in mind, upon my brief departure - please try your best to not kill this thread for the next two days, as results will be known early morning Friday and I would like to change the OP title to reflect the referendum result before the thread dies due to high salinity/low activity.
Also in an amusing case of this thread being a microcosm of reality,
the final debate was mostly both campaigns calling each other liars, scaremongers and haters.
