I guess that they don't appear (in the polling) to be significantly one way or the other - so they don't appear...

Or the poll's a load of bollocks?

I don't think it's bollox.. why would you conclude that? It just includes specific groupings that seem to have a more common voting intention. The middle-ages do not seem to be so clearly voting one way or another - as this other graph shows..

The "don't know"'s are about the only totally honest amongst the lot. The rest are relying on instinct, guesswork, personal opinion and supposed peer pressure. We are talking about the future of the country are we not?...and who can say where it's all go with any certainty?

Seems strange to put 25 year olds in with 49 year olds. Priorities are very different and often thinking too. Surely better to make the youngsters group a bit wider and keep the mid 30s to mid 40s together.

Nope, I totally, honestly know how I'm going to vote, thank you.

You'll all be glad to know I haven't been persuaded by Boris, Michael and Nige

There is nothing dishonest about it. It's only dishonest if you vote one way but believe in the other way.

Oddly Iain and I differ on this one. Not like normal.

I was genuinely open to being convinced. Not by the Farage nonsense of course, heard all that before, but I thought people like Gove might have some stronger and more interesting arguments for leaving than the facile nonsense they have been coming out with.

Bit of a bugger this referendum. I have no idea whether to buy my holiday currency tomorrow or Friday. I'm thinking half and half.

Was a good debate on radio 2 this lunchtime. Matthew Parris for Remain and Daniel Hannan for leave. Calm, reasoned debate with both equally putting a strong case forward.
