Good luck today and I hope that freedom and independence win the day for Britain. A victory for the Leaves should also bode well for Trump here in November as it will demonstrate that there is indeed a “silent majority” out there that is being understated by conventional polling.

Speaking of Trump, he plans to be in Great Britain tomorrow. Coincidence?

I have a question, why would the assassination of Jo Cox help the Remains? Would people really be so intimidated that they would switch their vote out of fear of more violence?

Sympathy, not fear or intimidation.

That might actually be a slight factor - but more significantly with people who were on the fence, sympathy for what has happened may shift them to her side, and unfortunately, while most people arguing to leave are not racists, there were - are - some racists on that side of the debate and this gave the racists and extremists more publicity - which would lead some people to shift.

If I was eligible, I'd still have voted Leave after Jo Cox's death - but I'd prefer not to be reminded of some of my fellow travellers who want it for very different reasons than I do.
