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....

'EVERY' person I've met, when discussing the referendum ARE voting out,
and I'l swear on any book or whatever to that fact.

The only time i've seen anyone who intends to vote remain are in the local
paper 'letter page', and a couple of them were prospective local Libdem/Labour
councillor's.

One of the ladies my wife meets whilst walking the dog of a morning, says she and her husband are going to vote 'Remain'. Mind you, they do own a second home in France.

But that's about it, really.

(Northampton).

Our local MP is Andrea Leadsom and she's for 'Out' too. She is in the cabinet and works in the Treasury Department. Some say, she is 'PM material'.

Hear what you say.

Bristol and surrounding area has only Rees-Mogg and Liam Fox as Brexit MPs.
Other Labour/Tories are for Remain.
Out of 8 mps for Greater Bristol area . 6 are Remain and 2 Brexit. It would be reasonable to assume each mp has taken a view on what way their local voters will swing.

We'll have a surplus of In votes to get us over the line.

So we'll send the rest your way to balance the overwhelming Brexit voters you meet.

Looks like Bristol is backing a dead pony....

The MP for Plymouth Johnny Mercer ran an online ballot on the referendum,
and nearly 70% voted for LEAVE, but on the Sunday Politics program the MP
said he was going to go with remain...So much for representing his constituents.

MaxK - 08 Jun 2016 15:05 - 2801 of 12628

There's a few of them now saying they will defy the popular vote should it go Leave.


Good luck to them when they try to get re-elected.

Claret Dragon - 08 Jun 2016 15:12 - 2802 of 12628

So much for Democracy.

grannyboy - 08 Jun 2016 16:10 - 2803 of 12628

If you can believe him? cameron said in PMQ's that if the vote was to
LEAVE then that's what would happen and there wouldn't be any stitch up.

grannyboy - 08 Jun 2016 17:08 - 2804 of 12628

Ho dear..They've now given those who were leaving it till the last
minute to register two extra days.

It was stated the other day that there was still over 7 million eligible voters
not signed up.

It looks blatantly like a planned site crash to facilitate this extra two days
extension, simply because the LEAVE are starting to lead the polls.

The news was reporting on the crash last night and it showed you a counter
and through the day it was in the several thousands sign-ups and then around
10 o'clock it had dropped to the low hundreds, so the sign ups was tailing off.
And yet they find it necessary to extend by two days!!!!....

A paragraph from todays money morning, the last sentence speaks volumes when considering those advocating a Remain vote:-

The EU is a distant, inflexible, unaccountable bureaucratic body, which has suppressed the potential of many of its citizens. We should not be supporting it. Reforming such bodies from within is an impossible task. Better to hasten its demise, so we can start again. Such bodies don’t do anyone any favours – unless you happen to be working for them or receiving subsidy from them.

The ones wanting to sign up are mainly young people who are far more likely to vote IN. There has been several million voters signed up over the last five weeks.

iturama - 08 Jun 2016 17:51 - 2807 of 12628

You cannot be so definitive. Probably young but also EU nationals that are not on their local electoral register. Only guesswork.

When are you going to enlighten me about all those mining and exploration companies that you say have fled the TSX for London? Perhaps 5 that anyone has heard of? That can't be too difficult surely.

grannyboy - 08 Jun 2016 17:55 - 2808 of 12628

I wouldn't say 'wanting' to sign up, as i said in post 2804, the counter on
the electorial site was tailing off to the low hundreds, and they've had weeks
to sign up, The remainers will be rubbing their hands in glee..

will10 - 08 Jun 2016 18:11 - 2809 of 12628

Yipee!!!!

More time to sign up. ( rubbing my hands in glee)

Haystack - 08 Jun 2016 18:28 - 2810 of 12628

EU citizens do not have the vote, but many have been sent polling cards and postal votes.

Haystack - 08 Jun 2016 18:50 - 2811 of 12628

The majority of those signing up yesterday were young people from government stats.

MaxK - 08 Jun 2016 19:25 - 2812 of 12628

The private polls must be frightening the bejeezus out of the remains.

Why else extend the voting registrations time in the hope of gaining a few more?

Haystack - 08 Jun 2016 19:57 - 2813 of 12628

Because the Electoral Commission virtually insisted on it.

iturama - 08 Jun 2016 20:05 - 2814 of 12628

My bad, I should have said residents from the Commonwealth. Let's hope the majority of the young now registering were inspired by Nigel and saw through our Dave's waffle like the young woman in his Sky effort. :-)

MaxK - 08 Jun 2016 20:22 - 2815 of 12628


will might like to see what he is yippee-ing about before he sticks his neck on the block.

It's getting worse, and altho blighty's banks are hardly whiter than white, there is some chance compared to the €urozone institutions.
