EU Referendum turnout betting

EU Referendum turnout betting

Sporting Index have a market up on the referendum turnout. Alastair Meeks tipped it when it was 62, but I still think at its current mid price of 68 it is still a buy for the following reasons With Leave looking like they could win, it will motivate Leave voters to turnout and ensure victory. Remain voters who might have stayed at home if the polls were showing a comfortable Remain victory will now be motivated to turnout. With Individual…

Overall population split down middle – BUT voters favour LEAVE #EUref pic.twitter.com/3AVo4Y35E7 — Ben Page (@benatipsos) June 16, 2016 The plethora of (significant) Leave leads are at variance with Betfair. David Cameron is finding EU Can’t Always Get What You Want. He must be feeling like Gonville Bromhead, as he’s told the pollsters report Brextieers….millions of them. What this poll finds is that the focus on immigration and Turkey is working for Leave whilst the Remain attack lines on the economy…

The locomotive of politics

The locomotive of politics

Take a deep breath.  The scent in your nostrils is the dusty burnt smell of scorched earth politics from the referendum.  George Osborne has pre-launched the emergency budget he would advocate in the event of a Leave vote, to the fury of half of his own party’s backbenchers.  Dozens have already publicly declared that they would vote against it.
