Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

VIC i'll post this again Austria have had enough !!
Austria have had enough !!! Merkel may have broken up Europe on her own .
Austria election: Far-right tops first round of presidential vote
Austria's far-right Freedom Party candidate has come top in the first round of presidential elections, preliminary results show.
Norbert Hofer has about 36% of the votes for the mostly ceremonial role - not enough to avoid a run-off in May.
He is likely to face Alexander Van der Bellen, an independent contender backed by the Greens, who is polling 20%.
For the first time since World War Two, the candidates from Austria's two main parties did not make it to the run-off.
Rudolf Hundstorfer from the Social Democrats and the centre-right People's Party Andreas Kohl are each thought to have taken about 11% of the vote.
Both parties have governed Austria for decades - either alone or in coalition.
This is a big shake-up in Austrian politics, the BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna reports, as the country has had a president from the centre-left or centre-right since 1945.
The clear victory of the far-right candidate reflects widespread discontent with the status quo, as well as concerns about immigration and the economy, our correspondent says.
Support for the Social Democrats and the People's Party has been falling in recent years.
In the last general elections in 2013, the two parties won just enough votes to govern in a "grand coalition"

Sounds like the looney right and neo-fascist are fighting in Austria as well as in the UK.
They should join up with UKIP and the BNP and Right wing tories.
But it is a bit like Dumbo, Huff, and Puff.

The guy on the Denmark situation didn't want an in or out vote , he wanted less interference from Brussels and the right to make their own decisions on Immigration etc . Now if this lot of nutcases got together and listened to it's members and acted in their interest this whole thing could be sorted quite quickly , but they won't .

Obama Brexit Blowback - Majority Of Brits Think Comments "Inappropriate"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/25/2016 11:50 -0400
Who could have seen that coming? It appears President Obama's ill-advised Op-Ed and visit to The United Kingdom, exhorting his "friends" to 'just say no' to Brexit and vote democratically to stay part of an undemocratic superstate, has backfired for the establishment. A poll by YouGov suggests that Obama's high profile intervention in the UK's EU Referendum failed with 65% of Brits seeing his comments were not "appropriate."
As SputnikNews reports, Mr Obama's pro-European plea sparked angry responses from a number of high profile advocates of a 'Brexit', not least the Conservative London Mayor, Boris Johnson:
"For us to be bullied in this way, I don't want to exaggerate, for people to say we are going to be unable to cope on our own is absolutely wrong."

It doesn't matter what the majority think of Obama. The only ones who will have an influence is the don't knows as currently the remains seem to be ahead in all polls.

So the remains are hoping for a don't know landslide.
I suspect anyone who "don't know" at this time...don't care.
Bad news for Dave....but then he's fooked anyway.

If the don't knows don't care then they may not vote. In that case the remains will win as they are well ahead in every poll.

The only ones who will have influence are those that actually vote. Saying is one thing, doing another.
