Britain Eu Referrendum

Polls have opened in Britain for a referendum on whether the country should quit the European Union bloc it joined 43 years ago.

Sovereignty, economic growth, immigration, influence on the world stage: these have been the big issues in Britain's debate on whether to stay in the European Union. But teabags, vacuum cleaners and oven gloves may have as much sway on the outcome.

Britain votes on Thursday in a referendum on whether it should stay in or leave the European Union.

The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that the result of Britain's EU referendum could be a close one.

Betting odds have moved sharply in favour of Britons voting to remain in the European Union after US President Barack Obama cautioned last week against leaving the 28-member bloc.

British support for staying in the European Union now enjoys an 11-point lead over the rival "Out" campaign, according to an opinion poll that adds to a run showing rising support for the "In" side ahead of June's referendum.
