The poll, from consultancy FTI, has found that a tough day at the office is the biggest reason Brits will be discouraged from voting today, with 22 per cent admitting leaving work late would be too much for them.

Meanwhile, one quarter of Inners said they would give up if the queue at the polling station is too long.

Seven per cent of Remainians said they could forget to vote if they were heading to the music festival this weekend, while nearly a fifth said a bad hangover would do the trick, making youth binge drinking culture at festivals the biggest threat to diplomatic relations to date.
