Before voting. My wish list. Let's hope we get a high turn-out and a decisive result. So we all agree on something. That matters more than the result. 51:49 would keep the debate going forever; even regional disparities - Scotland decisively in, England decisively out, say - would at least tell us what future we want.
Let's not discover that we're in a state of virtual civil war, with every distinct demographic against every other distinct demographic. If the post-results analysis tells us that the future is old v. young, men v. women, you/me v. everybody who isn't like you/me, we have a problem, right? Or an opportunity to engage? Real dialogue not soundbites and social media.
After voting, here because Weebly wouldn't upload this earler. Queue out onto the pavement at 10.25am. "Never seen this before," said the woman in front of me. A very elderly woman helped out on sticks. We are all voting. Now we just have to agree.
