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....

Tommorow's Sunday Mirror

Jo Cox's death sparks EU referendum poll surge for Remain as tragedy changes opinion

ComRes analysts were amazed when the results coming in after 2pm began to show a marked change of heart from Brexit to Remain

Voters became more inclined to want to stay in the EU after MP Jo Cox was shot.

The astonishing finding comes in a ComRes poll for the Sunday Mirror.

And it shows the murder of the 41 year old mum of two could have a direct effect on Thursday’s result.

Our pollsters were asking questions on the EU referendum at the exact time news broke of the attack on the Batley and Spen Labour MP at 2pm on Thursday.

ComRes analysts were amazed when the results coming in after 2pm began to show a marked change of heart.

Before Ms Cox was shot 45 per cent of those polled said they would be “delighted” if the UK voted to leave the EU.

That dropped to 38 per cent after it - and the Remain camp got an astonishing nine point boost from those saying they would be delighted if we stayed.

ComRes chairman Andrew Hawkins said this could indicate a major change in campaign fortunes.

He told the Sunday Mirror: “All it requires is for a marginal change to swing the vote from leave to remain.”

The number of people who said they would be “relieved” if Britain stayed in the EU was running at 35 per cent before the incident in Birstall, Leeds and rose to 45 per cent after it.

Those who said they would be “disappointed” if Britain voted to leave rose to 40 per cent from 32 per cent.

Those who said they were “anxious” about leaving went up six points to 47 per cent,.

Those who said they would be “upset” to be out of the EU went up five points. while those who said the same about staying went down six points.

Mr Hawkins added: “What is significant is that it all points in the same direction. That tells me we picked up a change in public mood.”

Don't you find it truely morbid and opportunistic when straight after the
murder of someone, the pollsters find it a wonderful opportunity to gauge
public feeling on a matter of great importance by stooping to the level of
a sneaky snake oil salesman.......Ring any bells!!

To quote Vickie some time back.
can't believe you sometimes Haystack , you put up endless polls showing this, that and the other , then say " I wish the polls actually meant much .

I wouldn't go to the Mirror for impartial comment.

I hear that some Right winged groups are iconising Thomas Mair.

MaxK - 19 Jun 2016 09:18 - 3039 of 12628

I think you need to see a doctor Fred, you really are a sick man.

ExecLine - 19 Jun 2016 09:55 - 3041 of 12628

Well so far, it's absolutely 'Neck and Neck' in the Polls.....

"All the Polls and with filters too" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36271589

1. If you value 'Democracy', don't forget to vote LEAVE.

2. If you can't name the five (or is it four? Hmmm?) presidents of the EU, don't forget to vote LEAVE.

3. If you don't mind immigrants and are not colour or racially prejudiced but nevertheless, just want to put a 'Cap on' and 'Have some control over the numbers' of immigrants, don't forget to vote LEAVE. We can't staff the NHS with Northern Europeans from Romania, Albania, etc, who come over to the UK just to work in car wash outlets.

Fred1new - 19 Jun 2016 10:28 - 3042 of 12628

1) With a Right winged press controlling the propaganda and money from the Cayman Isles, Panama etc. pulling the strings of the tory government

2a) Which president and of what EU institutions?
2b) Name the cabinet ministers of the present government?
2c) How many Scottish, Irish or Welsh MP's names do you know?

3a) are you sure that immigration control will be swapped for deals and contracts with the EU?

3b) with proposed introduction of bursars for training nurse etc, that there will be sufficient nurses for the NHS and Welfare Services, or that the NHS will continue to exist in a recognisable state.

3c) who is going to wash your car?

=-=-=-=

Vote for Cloud Cuckoo Land, you know it doesn't make sense.

Jeremy Corbyn says EU free movement means no immigration limit

There can be no upper limit on the number of people coming into the UK while there is free movement of labour in the EU, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

New rigged poll to keep UK in a straight jacket within a padded cell. I hope not.




















VICTIM - 20 Jun 2016 11:04 - 3046 of 12628

I'm looking on another BB to see a list of British companies that are receiving EU grants to move their production out of Britain into other EU countries . It's quite sickening , and those that think the EU is the way for Britain want their head examining . Too much deceit going on here .

VICTIM - 20 Jun 2016 11:05 - 3047 of 12628

Were you born like this Freda , you mess everything up don't you .

Fred1new - 20 Jun 2016 11:33 - 3048 of 12628

Vicky,

Everybody is good at something.

VICTIM - 20 Jun 2016 11:36 - 3049 of 12628

What even Dave .

Fred1new - 20 Jun 2016 11:45 - 3050 of 12628

He can wave better than anybody!

VICTIM - 20 Jun 2016 11:52 - 3051 of 12628

I wish he would wave Goodbye .

Fred1new - 20 Jun 2016 12:30 - 3052 of 12628

I wonder if he is drowning?

I will come back in an hour and see.

Haystack - 20 Jun 2016 12:35 - 3053 of 12628

Remain seem to be inching ahead in poll after poll. I want to leave the EU, but there is one advantage in staying in. That is the demise of UKIP will come sooner.
