Just two days to go, how is the forum planning to vote on Thursday?

I went not voting! You can guess why though...

We did do our own school one, and I went remain, though

Out of interest what was the result at your school? Did you have a debate before the vote and if so what were the main issues?

We'll get the results on Thursday! There was only a debate between 2 teachers in our house assembly on Wednesday. Apparently it gets so feisty in the staff room some teachers have started walking out

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I also can't vote, but on Monday our school Debating society had a debate (two students), and there will be a vote. I will give the the result of the schools vote hopefully on Monday.

I did a 'Convenient Sample' poll at school and it came out as 46 remain to 11 leave!

I could never be in a debating society! I'd be like "Remain. I don't know why, just do. Thank you for listening!" :D

From what I've heard, I'd guess at 50% leave, 40% remain, 10% don't know, don't care. I hope that's right, as otherwise I've probably failed the second round of the UKJMC, as there was an estimation question in that!

I meant to ask you, how did your 'kangaroo' go?

Also, you don't have to ever debate (not in ours anyway) I have twice though.

Kangaroo went fine, thanks! It was a lot harder than the first, but I'm confident. Also, you don't lose marks for wrong answers, so I guessed quite a few! It was weird though, as there was me (the only Y7) and 3 Y8s having a whole classroom to ourselves. But yes, it went fine

Reminds me of one of the classes I have had to go into to get my PE kit - the AS Level RE class, and there are (or were last year) only 6 students in it, around the one table!

That's nonsense, anyone can. Learn to debate, it's important.

I was the only person on my degree course (there were three, 1 disappeared after two weeks, the other transferred to a different course after the first term).

Looks like Remain is heading for the win among Tube Challengers at least.
Just out of interest has anyone changed from Leave to Remain (or vice versa) during the campaign.
For anyone who is worried about the cost of Brexit perhaps consider putting a few quid on at the bookies, William Hill have Leave at 10/3.
I'm tempted to put a monkey on Leave even though I hope we Remain!
