DevonDeathTrip 2,325 Posted June 23, 2016 I was hoping Peter Snow might make an appearance on the BBC tonight. Thinking about it, I haven't seen him on TV for a while, so perhaps someone to keep tabs on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,231 Posted June 23, 2016 I reckon turnout for the referendum will be somewhere in the high 80s percentage wise. If it's above 83.9% it would beat the 1950 general election turnout to highest UK wide referendum/election turnout (the Scots take the crown of highest turnout in a UK election or referendum at 84.3% last year since figures appear to be available - easily at least - (1918) in England. Although I reckon that's extremely optimistic as the 1975 one garnered only a 65% turnout. I still reckon, similar to the Scottish referendum, turnout will pale any general election in recent years. Summer, likely to be a warm sunny day with daylight until after 10pm, voting on a subject I suspect the vast majority of people don't give two shits about either way, despite the vocal loud minorities on both sides? It'll be around the AV referendum turnout, I'm guessing. I think you seriously underestimate how much the average person cares about having their say on the EU. Postal votes will massively help boost turn-out as well. No results in yet, but given turnout figures already reported, I'd just like to concede this point. Deathray was closer than I was.
