Who's for IN and who's for OUT:
« on: June 04, 2016, 11:05:28 AM »
I know most of you have no opinion, so won't vote in case it offends someone.

But give it a go.. I have made this poll anonymous:
UNDERSTAND - I MAKE OPINIONS. IF YOUR ARGUMENTS MAKE ME QUESTION MY OPINION THEN I WILL CONSIDER THEM.

Weird range of options ... what does a "whishy [sic] washy liberal" have to do with the issue of remaining in or leaving the European Union?

Remain. If we leave it won't be as it was before 1973, it will be as it was before 1066, with us as a small irrelevance on the edge of Europe.

We are a small irrelevance, imo!

It's a no-brainer:

If we vote for Brexit we will be offered a deal that will be similar to Switzerland and Norway which of course includes freedom of movement. If we accept we will be in virtually the same position as now, but with some additional restrictions on certain kinds of trade - and we won't have any say in running the show.

If we were to reject this,  we will not have the free access to the EU market  and Britain will no longer be an attractive location for manufactures to serve the EU market, and this would have a serious impact on our economy and employment.

Remain is the only sane option.

Remain.

I agree with L.A.'s analysis.

In addition, I own property in France, which is a borderline basket case with Marine Le Pen's extreme right wing National Front enjoying considerable support from the French people. She may perceive Brexit as giving her policies some kind of legitimacy and French homes for French people may result in separate, higher, property taxes for nonFrench second home owners or even snatching the houses from their current owners for the benefit of homeless French citizens.

Yes but some are'' up for it'' and that's important for 'the lads'. It's their ''pride''.....and at the end of the day it's just a bit of Banter.

There's an identical poll currently running on Digital Spy which so far has attracted 1156 votes.

63.32% for Leave.

Why does this poll have a closing date two weeks after the date of the referendum?

There would certainly be 'knock-on' effects across EU countries, difficult to predict this kind of stuff, but we certainly wouldn't be 'flavour of the month'.

Maybe the question on the ballot should be :

Do you want to 'cut off your nose to spite your face'?

Thank goodness they have serious-minded, professional people to do this ballot business.

A bunch of bureaucrats working on product standards and trade regulations does not really constitute a threat to world peace.

So.......... 63.32% of people who would be happy with a laptop, a KFC, a box of tissues and their right hands are for leaving.

Drivel. And you can't even spell fascist.


Most of the founders of the EU fought the Nazis. Your ignorance of that and your moronic pissing on the graves of those who were killed by the Nazis would make me me vomit, if I thought you had the slightest grasp of history.

But then again you have already posted bits of your lunatic anti Semitism about the Rothschilds and your dog whistle 'bankensteins'

EU history isn't the most fascinating subject but even I know it was founded with the ideal of preventing history repeating itself, by people who wanted to end the global wars that Europe had been spewing.
