CLOSED Brexit Poll

[safrane]

Im looking forward to the results....its a win win situation as far as I can see.

if its out the country will plummet into medieval social economic madness and I have a huge stock of eggs and beads I can sell...also the UK will be in such a state it will be like living in a Mad Max film.

If we stay all ills will be cured and I will have so much money I can buy my choice of former Soviet Block countries and all the people from there will do my bidding.

Its all tosh...and I will be poorer no matter the result as im a civil servant!

Nice to see your not panicking Peter!

Put me down for a couple of the chuck eggs mate

I see Mr Juncker has graced us with his wisdom on a leave vote.

He's famous for the quote "when it gets serious you have to lie" and for drinking a little too much whilst on Eu duty.
Unelected!

I realise that facts are of little consequence here, but FYI, Mr Juncker is not unelected. He was elected to his position as European Commission President by members of the European Parliament, who themselves were elected by voters in the various EU member states. In case you're not clear about what 'unelected' actually means, please google 'House of Lords'.

Yes it is sort of an American system where the people vote for a Senator and the Senators vote for a Presidential candidate because the people are too dim to do this......... allegedly, and so we get cronie - ism
Whereas we vote for an MP knowing who the leader of the party (potential PM) is. A subtle distinction

How do you feel the murder of jo cox at the hands of a brexit fanatic will influence the poll?

How do we know that's what he was?

He was shouting "put Britain first" before he stabbed her.

Put Britain first by staying in or leaving is the first question I'd ask, but beyond that, I'd suggest he'd be better described as
Emotionally disturbed
Ill
Possibly right wing (Britain First is a pretty blatant right wing pressure group)

Why jump for the easy answer....

It is certainly a profound new low.

I doubt it'll influence it at all , sounds more like a personal vendetta to me which is how I'd think most will view it

 

[daverichardson]

Sadly we take a single death fairly lightly these days - apart from those closest of course
So no
No effect at all on the ref

 

[Wack61]

I do feel like I'm being bullied and threatened by the government though, this we'll need an emergency budget if we vote out, It's not like flouncing out of the cricket club because Tarquin ****** you off, we won't be out on the 24th so why threaten tax increases from then if not to intimidate us

 

[greeny12]

I disagree with the perceived impact as much as I disagree with the use of the term "brexit fanatic" to describe a mentally unstable, white supremacist, ultra-right winger with links to South African pro-Apartheid groups.

But the mere use of that term shows it is out there, and that is curtains for those of us who wanted an EU exit for moderate, democratic reasons. Farage and his merry men have scuppered things too - no wonder the official Leave campaign wanted nothing to do with him.

But both sides of the campaign should be embarrassed by the way it has been conducted. It has brought shame on all our houses...

Cameron has a major problem. He can't use one of the key arguments for staying in: the EU is not the source of problems related to things like housing and public services, it's his government!

 

[daverichardson]

Regardless of my personal politics I believe the main players have been P*** Poor
Cameron Waffle
Ozzy threatens and bullies
Carney threatens
Gove not too bad - at least he answers a question
Farage same but he is frozen out
Boris surprising but he has a lot of baggage

Brexit Poll

We wouldn't leave on the 24th but a vote to leave would start to impact the economy from then on. The uncertainty about timescales and what a post-Brexit world would look like will change things pretty much straight away.

This video is quite good at explaining what the EU actually is - without bias

 

[redsonnylee]

That's a very good video nice and clear, I can see why many people including myself find this subject difficult to fully understand.

This. In spades!
