The EU Referendum vote

Ever since the run up to the Scotland independence vote last September (where Scotland voted to remain as part of Great Britain), there has been this promise of an EU referendum vote, (aka "Brexit" vote). The vote was promised by David Cameron (Prime Minister) to be sometime before the end of 2016, and some months later the date was set to be TODAY, 23 June 2016.

This topic has dominated the radio waves and the news for months now, as various political and cultural/ social figures have come out to say publicly which side they are on: "Remain" in the European Union or "Leave" the EU. It is a delicate and troublesome topic, because it is so polarizing and drastic in nature, and people tend to have really strong views on it one way or another.

People supporting the Leave campaign tend to talk about migration issues and wanting to have more control in the UK about who can come here to live. People supporting the Remain campaign tend to talk about not giving up on the idea of the EU and wanting to resolve the problems rather than run away and think the UK would be better on its own. We are voting to Remain. But the polls show this outcome to be really close and nobody can predict it at this point. We will find out tomorrow by 6am local time what has happened. Some of our friends will be staying up all night to watch the results come in, but that will not be happening in our house!
