He's a muppet, but I'm still voting in.

Yes, but whose mouth do you believe is telling the truth?

Mostly none of them. However this man his sidekick Osborne have lied through the skin of their teeth a for years.

Every year we hear promises broken weeks later when budgets are released, every year we hear targets not met, we are told the econemy is improving yet I've seen no improvement in my personal situation in a decade.

From what I've seen Cameron has never been able to handle these public debates, it's why he always steers clear from them.

I thought he came across well, finally some passion. The only time he struggled was against idiots who think shouting the same point, louder means they win the argument. Pretty much the Leave campaign's MO.

I read today that the remain voters are starting to edge the polls, but it's still so tight.

I'm not voting as I don't know the true benifit a of staying or leaving.

If the facts were out there in black and white, and debates were handled in a sensible and meaningful manor, I'd have enough knowledge vote. Truth is most of us are voting on a calculated guess.

Vote on this then. We stay, things stay the same pretty much. We leave it's a leap into the unknown that most experts are predicting will lead to a recession.

Well he does contradict himself a lot. A few years ago he supported a Turkey application to the EU, a couple of years ago he felt we could prosper outside of the EU.

We put more into the EU than we get out, financially speaking, he said so himself.

Then he uses examples of Canada taking 7 years to reach a trade agreement with the EU, my cat could tell you it's difficult to agree trade with 30 countries, some prosperous, most not.

Personally I don't think the EU works. I like the idea, I think the execution has been poor. However the talk of a failing econemy if we leave worries me too much to vote leave.

I'm voting to stay in because of my job prospects and because I don't want change. This whole referendum has been focused on immigration which I agree needs sorting, but it's been massively overplayed.

Politicians flipflop all the time. It's b011ocks. That's why I'm listening to independent experts and business leaders.

I think, even if you don't know, you should vote remain because you'll be voting for status quo rather than a possible poo storm.

The days are long gone when a small island like us can dominate the world. We will have a bigger voice and more security as part of a group, I believe that to be sure.
I also think we will have more prosperity, though that is harder to know.
Finally, on immigration I don't believe in or out will make any difference. Most countries in the eu are in the same situation, so some barriers will have to go up.

I can't actually believe how close it is. I don't know anyone voting to leave.

That's the trouble with most politicians these days, they're all ex public schoolboys who I wouldn't trust as far as I could kick, he basically accused the general public of being thick tonight upon answering one question, that's the level of contempt these people hold most of us by

It's up north that are dominating the leave votes. I'm surprised as well, six months ago I thought remain would be walking this.

London, Wales, Scotland and NI will vote to remain I think. Everywhere else is anyone's guess.

What a pathetic comment.

If leave wins, will remainers be moving to other EU countries?
