The Bookies have the stay in campaign leading and gaining.
They tend to be more accurate than opinion polls

But here's a thought, That nice Mr Salmond has said in the result of a Brexit, there'll be another "once in a lifetime" referendum in Scotland. So maybe 45% of the Scots will vote out.......or 55% will vote in....

If the SNP have half a brain they would be encouraging everyone to vote leave, use it to justify another Union referendum, vote out, then rejoin the EU. Job Done. That said Wee Jimmy Krankie pulled everyones pants down in the last campaign so she's not stupid, maybe even she realises incessantly whining about England is preferable to independance at $50/bbl.

Yep the odds have tumbled over the last couple of weeks - you can now get 4/1 on 'leave' - at one stage it was almost evens.

Is this not based on individual sentiment (i.e. bets placed), not polling though?

The bookies give the odds their book gives them, it's part of what they do and how they make money, take more than they give out.
I do however think the Government machine has spun it that way, although the next 4 weeks where it has to stay silent will be telling. As much as I dislike the EU I think the stays currently have it and it is there's to lose.

How can they say anything of value when the truth is nobody knows what'll happen next.
All the basic questions have absolute answers.

The economy is a red herring, no one knows and everyone is predicting based on what the random number generator pings out this week.

Do you want an immigration policy?

Do you want control of our fishing grounds?

Do you want free trade with the world?

Do you want your vote to have more power over your personal life?

These are all basics with absolute answers and only one action can achieve them.
It comes down to one simple question:

"Do you want to be able to vote those in power in or out?"

Staying in consigns us to appointed bureaucrats over whom we have no say and none of whom are in any way accountable to us. They don't even like us.

Yep fair point - the more people who bet on a particular outcome the lower the odds on that outcome become.

I heard they will be free if we stay in. And they will make a cuppa just like at home, and the chips will taste better on the costa del sunburn.
Yes and we will get a free bundle of EU minutes to use when chatting on our phones.
But if we vote out the roaming charges will bankrupt us.

So an exit would be great for the UK tourism industry.......and green to boot (think of all those carbon footprints saved by people not flying to Malaga) biggrin
The only thing that would be great for the UK tourism industry would be if we have a guaranteed hot summer.
if we have a guaranteed hot summer Barbecue summer, Met Office predicts them (not as they fking happen).

Yeah, cos that extra button will have the feature to wipe all your Facebook data or blow up the universe, no one knows what. Both just as bad for some.

But think of the positives of leaving:
Fire: could fall by up to 8%
Brimstone: could fall by up to 11%
Pestilence: could fall by up to 16%

Anyone who's vote is swayed by the chance a week away in the sun MIGHT be £230 more , doesn't deserve to vote.

Frighteningly and not wishing to appear superior.
I posted some spoof posts on a certain website mentioning roaming costs, loss of green credentials and even the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse visiting us (I kid you not) if we left.
Astonishingly a few people actually thought I meant it. Some people are rather lacking in intelligence at times.

Its the hob nails that get on my nerves, especially when they start tap dancing and fall off into the sink.

What is the justification for this?

Will it cost an extra £230 for people outside the EU as well - such as Australians?

Where does the £230 come from now, is a government, or other organisation subsidising it presently?

Will the commercial operators be willing to suffer the downturn due to the extra costs putting people off?

Isn't £230 more than some Northerners spend on an entire weeks package holiday?
