I guess the one advantage to being home sick is that I can vote anytime.
+1 Remain

I won't be voting today. Why you ask? Because the weather's great in Lyon, I don't have to go to work and my proxy can bloody well do it for me :D

I'm trying to remember what I voted last time. I'm pretty sure it was a yes then as well. I don't know what it means to be British, I wasn't born here, I don't have a home town etc. I'm a European. If I believed in an Almighty, I'd be praying right now.

S'ok. I was born in the Soviet Union. Doesn't make me Soviet. And a professor I met once joked that since he had lived in Finland for 40 years, he's twice as Finnish as his students (he left Isle of Man when he was 20). It's the sum of your experiences that makes you who you are, not some label.

I think you'd struggle to rig something that big, electoral fraud isn't unknown in the UK and certainly postal voting and proxy voting are fairly open to it. It's hard to do that much about it without making actual real voters unable to vote though.
Sensible punishments for anyone caught doing it would probably help a little but generally people trying to rig elections don't expect to get caught. The last person found guilty of rigging an election in the UK got banned from running again for 5 years and costs of £250k awarded against him, I don't think he paid much of it though.
I think it's an absolute certainty that there will be widespread small scale fraud on both sides. It's unlikely to be enough to make a big difference overall though.

I believe Brits should leave just to see where right populism leads to. Ultra rights and EUsceptics are on the rise in the EU too, lets give them what they want.

Yes, you see now why people want to leave, huh? HUH? :mad:
How long until the final results are in, by the way? And will there be any intermediary results in the mean time?

I'm European. The UK is like my home town and I've moved down the road to France.

You must remember that Europe isnt an island though.
