Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

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....

"But still far too early to call. Each side still has a lot of scarmonging to roll out"

I will NEVER vote Tory again , I will vote some hapless no hope party .

jimmy b - 24 May 2016 10:09 - 2236 of 12628

VIC there is still some good there ,a lot of them have put their political career on the line to vote out .
-------------------

will.... But Tory polling machine is state of the art and pretty good at getting it right.

Yes Steve Hilton has got it right .

VICTIM - 24 May 2016 10:11 - 2237 of 12628

It's funny jimmy that Downing st poll come out the day after the Hilton thing .

iturama - 24 May 2016 10:16 - 2238 of 12628

Never mind, common sense will prevail. Not from Junkie and his cohorts. He is a stooge in all this.
Merkel will decide, under pressure from German industry, that an economic war with its third largest world trading partner would be very bad for business. And we know who calls the shots in Europe. Vote out with confidence.

Did not realise that Steve Hilton ran the poll. Boy he must be pissed that his data differs from his personal views.

On TV last night someone got a group of 20 somethings together with some older somethings. One of the young ladies actually said that because they would be around longer than the oldies, their views should have more weight.

Shocking!!!.... but she's not wrong.

Take some more medication will .

Couple of observations on Cameron.

If the end of the world is nigh if we exit then why was he considering it himself before he got his wonderful (NOT) deal with the EU ? Makes him look a right chump imo.

He has told his version of the downside of leaving but I've heard him say nothing about anything positive about staying in except of course his version of the downside won't happen.

Vote out and we get rid of EU and bloody Cameron and Osborne at same time , that's gotta be good for the economy :)

MaxK - 24 May 2016 11:47 - 2242 of 12628

You could also argue that older people have more experience of the world and it's ways than young people.

Perhaps more (weighted) votes as you get older might be more sensible?

VICTIM - 24 May 2016 11:58 - 2243 of 12628

Tell me how many young people know what's best for them , I voted for EEC but look at it now . If we'd known then what we know now there would have been a NO last time . We were lied to then and being lied to now .

VICTIM - 24 May 2016 12:05 - 2244 of 12628

We are in a new age now Britain will be hammered and not a thing anyone can do ,if we stay in . It's drain the powerful countries fill them up with others rejects and pay for the rest of eternity .Except Germany .

"Vote out and we get rid of EU and bloody Cameron and Osborne at same time , that's gotta be good for the economy :)"

That's an Interesting observation Dil -):

"If you’re not a socialist before you’re twenty-five, you have no heart; if you are a socialist after twenty-five, you have no brain".
That is why the socialists always want to lower the voting age. The fact is that older people have more skin in the game.
Germany and France wish to curb the power of the big internet companies. Tell your kids that they will restrict Facebook and Whatsapp and the Brexiteers will win in a landslide. No more fanciful than what Cameron and Osbourne are saying.
Makes me think of the plonkers that thought up the Red Flag Act due to the danger of motor cars travelling faster than horses:
The most draconic restrictions and speed limits were imposed by the 1865 act (the "Red Flag Act") which required all road locomotives, which included automobiles, to travel at a maximum of 4 mph (6.4 km/h) in the country and 2 mph (3.2 km/h) in the city - as well as requiring a man carrying a red flag to walk in front of road vehicles hauling multiple wagons.

It's not the votes, it's how you count them....

On his Facebook page, the party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, seized on irregularities in Linz and Waidhofen, where the final result announced a voter turnout of 146.9%. The interior ministry said the figure was the result of a data entry error.
