  I didn't watch the debate we all know the issues and the views of each protagonist so most of us that intend to vote have already decided each way. From the reports I have read there was no winner therefore the undecideds were not really helped.

  There was a big rush after the debate of people trying to register for the vote followed by a technical glitch close to the deadline. There is now talk of extending the cut off.

  As I suggested previously the EU referendum is not legally binding Howard.

  It is just a costly and divisive PR exercise which ultimately will be used as a tool to try to keep the UK from splitting up to the advantage of those who want to keep the peasants in place.
  
  In years gone by the Squires used to ride through the countryside whipping the peasants to encourage' them to pay their dues'.
  
  Nowadays it's more sophisticated but the mind set hasn't changed; just the method to ensure that our 'betters' are kept in the way that they have become accustomed to!
  
  The referendum choices of leave or stay is on the voting papers as an invite for the population to choose which is best for the good of the country and mankind but in reality it is a question seen by many as ............."what's in it for me?"
  
  So on that basis the result will be achieved and the government will announce their preference as the final result.
  Do nothing and nothing happens.

  The way I understand it Bob is that a vote to leave would be binding but MP's could negotiate a deal with the EU to enable us to stay in the single market together with free movement of people.

  The commissioners could not force any laws on us though as they do at present.
