@Lynne I see the UKIP slur across social media all the time, and even some on here like to slip in the Farage/UKIP references whenever they can, as though it is guilt by association.

@S I do not agree with compulsory voting, but if it were to happen there should be a "non of the above" option, and what if that option received the majority of votes, what would happen then?  Perhaps that is a discussion which needs a thread of its own.

How nauseating that the IN campaign is trying to tar all Brexit supporters with the UKIP brush.  They should be aware that the Vote Leave campaign has supporters from across the political spectrum, and from professional organisations too, and yes, even workers in the NHS have spoken in favour of Brexit.

So this MP disagrees with the extension, he's perfectly entitled to his view.  Lots of people are unhappy about this abuse of electoral law, you only have to read social media tonight to realise that.

Is he so unsure of his case that he is too frit to debate ...

I'm pretty sure the Brexiteers would have registered long ago, we have had nearly four month's notice of this referendum, after all.  It's a bit of coincidence that in the last few days there's been a concerted Facebook campaign to get younger voters registered (who are thought more more likey to vote Remain), and now because of a glitch in the dying minutes before the process closed a two-day ...

It's just making us look like a banana republic, with electoral law being made on the hoof.  It's a shambles.

No, Mrs C, I disagree with most of what was wrote.

I wonder if the Remain camp had a 10 point lead in the polls, instead of lagging behind, that the extension would have been granted?
