When you believe in something, you often can't see the wood for the trees and this whole Brexit Vs Remain campaign has stirred the passions of a great many people in this Country.
You know where I stand on this and there is not much that will change my opinion and the same goes for everyone that has made a decision on either side. Neither of us can see valid points on the other side. I see absolutely no advantage to staying in the European Union and no hope of reform where others will see absolute darkness if we leave to stand as an Island alone in the big wide World.
My eldest daughter was a remainer, I am not sure if she still is as it is not a subject we can discuss. I did ask her why and as she is in London, many of her friends are very pro-Europe (as many students and Londoners are) but besides that, she was uncertain, it was just how she felt.
I thought about that and realised something, I was born English first and British second, I was never a European. She was born European first and British second and English third. Europe is part of her identity, part of her DNA.
I am hoping for a 100% turnout tomorrow, then, whatever the result, democracy will have spoken loud and clear.
