My inclination is very much "in", and I suspect that inclination will be what I'll mostly have to go on because the information that's presented to us will be heavily selected and skewed and I have neither the time nor the expertise to go looking for it and analysing it.

I discover that the BBC headline "Johnson admits, 'I wasn't a good person'," has nothing to do with politics.

Is there anywhere you can look to find out who can vote in the referendum? Or has this not be decided yet?

Who can vote according to the BBC bbc.co.uk British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens over 18 who are resident in the UK, along with UK nationals who have lived overseas for less than 15 years. Members of the House of Lords and Commonwealth citizens in Gibraltar will also be eligible, unlike in a general election. Citizens from EU countries - apart from Ireland, Malta and Cyprus - will not get a vote. If you're going to Glastonbury or the Eurofootball make sure you get a postal vote and send it before you go. |

Malta and Cyprus are both in the Commonwealth. I guess that's the difference.

Commonwealth members include Malta and Cyprus, who are also EU members. There's a special treaty that allows the Irish living here to vote too.
