The EU Referendum.

I voted for out, and nothing I have heard or seen has changed my mind. I am still OUT

Same here - there was never any question of which way I would would vote. Even if there is 'pain' I believe what is at stake is worth it.

I was more wondering if any of those that were only leaning one way or the other on the poll had now definitely toppled, and which way.

Would be nice to know if those that expressed only an inclination in the poll had firmed their position; I don't see a way to do that though - unless anyone wishes to openly declare.

Was an undecided (remain) for the poll. Now an undecided (haven't the faintest idea), bordering on the might not vote at all.

As it is said in some quarters that a vote to leave would initiate a second independence referendum for Scotland I would have thought you would have supported Leave.

Though, unless the law has changed, calling such a referendum is still not within the power of Scotland.

Other quarters claim that the Scottish vote could keep England in the EU against its wishes. Not sure how that would go down if it came to pass.

Probably as well as if the English vote takes Scotland out of the EU against their wishes.

Likely, but that would be their own fault for not voting correctly in their own referendum.

Even with a UK Out, Scotland In vote, I don't think that an IndyRef2 Yes vote is currently winnable. So for me, it's a moot point. As for calling IndyRef2, we can do it if we want, it just won't be legally binding unless Westminster agrees. I suspect that the relative population sizes will make the Scottish (as well as the Welsh and NI) vote an irrelevance, unless England is effectively split 50/50.

For the vote itself, I have no strong opinion on the EU one way or the other. The things tempting me to vote though are that on the one hand I can see advantages to out, as in theory any powers not currently controlled by the EU which aren't specifically reserved to Westminster should pass to Holyrood giving Scotland more powers to control its own affairs, however without any tax powers beyond income tax, it's all still just tinkering. On the other side of the scale, firstly I don't actually believe that that a powers transfer will be allowed to happen, and secondly I'm not totally convinced that the UK government is any better at acting in our interests than the EU is so I'm tending towards voting for the benefit of a number of friends who live in Gibraltar who are genuinely concerned that Spain will start playing silly beggars with the border if it's a UK OUT vote.

What is odd about this referendum up here, given our own recent vote, is the fact that there seems to be practically no interest in it whatsoever. It's almost like the politicians are going through the motions, and the population just isn't that bothered one way or the other.

seems to me the uk referendum is the tip of the iceberg ,its pretty sure if the uk vote out , france, czech republic ,holland and maybe germany will call referendums of there own,there wont be much of a eu left if every one votes out, the scottish first minister seems to be playing a softly softly approach at the moment,

Patriot, I'm surprised at you for believing that, it's all part of 'Project Fear'...prices go up all the time, it's part of life. It would be so easy for any companies to increase their prices and their profit if we leave the EU and blame the price rises on exit of EU.

Easy way to tell when David Cameron is lying, his lips are moving...
