I have seen it nowhere near to the same degree This is the problem. Unless you're passionate about living in a federal Europe you won't drape yourself in its flag. It'd be like draping yourself in a flag of your local council. You appreciate the work they do, but it doesn't instil the same kind of fervour nationalists have towards their country's flag. |

Just voted, no problems for me, but my wife had a bit of a palava! They asked for her name and address, and she was down as a removed entry! After a bit of faffing about, one of them phoned someone, and then it came back that she couldn't vote! They told us to phone the number on the back of the polling card, which she did, and was told there must have been a clerical error. The person on the other end spoke to the local people, and then eventually (after 30 minutes) she was allowed to vote! Due to work and football practice we didn't get there until 20:00, thankfully we weren't much later, as if we had turned up at 21:45, it probably wouldn't have been sorted in time! |

I've seen lots of people laughing about it, but very little people actual doing it. It was mentioned on twitter that the same people who are terrified of a gov conspiracy so need to use pens, are voting to urge that same gov to take control. |

Also it's quite funny as pretty much every TV person is going "We literally have no idea whatsoever about anything at all so far". It's strange not having exit polls and all that, to help with predictions. |
