Then you've got oil rig workers and others who can't get to the polls due to work commitments. In an ideal world that should all balance out or there would be so few postal votes that it doesn't matter. However given that postal votes are just thrown in with the rest we don't know if that's true. We can infer it when we compare exit polls with election results. One post referendum survey was interesting in that if it was accurate then if you counted only voters in Scotland the result was far closer than 45/55.Iain McCordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114399330514686626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-4467943358025090512016-06-13T08:30:04.878+01:002016-06-13T08:30:04.878+01:00250,000 net migration per year up to 2036.....the ...250,000 net migration per year up to 2036.....the debate has gotten extremely racist in a short space of time.<br /><br />It will work as well.

The tabloids will go into overdrive with British/English nationalism as the day approaches, whereas there is no great passion for the EU.<br />And the most bigoted old Tories are most likely to go out and vote.<br /><br />I would hoping for at least a 5 point STAY lead in the polls going into polling day.<br /><br />If there is a leave vote, I wonder if Cameron will propose another referendum to give backing for a Norway style deal if that is negotiated.
