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....

Other than Stan and Fred, does anyone actually know anyone who is going to vote remain?


I know 2-3 definites, all the rest are out.

"There is more chance of modifying the EU rules and regulations if the UK remains in "

What part of Junckers statement do YOU not understand?

I know quite a few. They are about 50/50. My wife is voting out, I am voting out, both my sons are don't knows as yet. One is more inclined to IN and the other to OUT. The one studying Global Politics in London is the OUT and the other studying Physics at Bristol is the IN (he may not vote at all as he says he doesn't know enough about it). My 82 year old mother in law is voting OUT It will be the first time she has ever voted.

There is no chance of modifying the EU. The 5 Presidents said recently that they hope by 2025 there will be complete fiscal and political conformity. That is all budgets set centrally and all tax rates plus all laws set by Brussels.

Obviously you've got those on bb who says they're going to vote remain,
but they're in the minority, then you've got those who write in to the local
paper, but several of those are local councillors or the dye in the wool pro
eu europhiles.

But 99% of the people I meet in daily life are for LEAVING...

That may be due to where you live. The BBC had a program the other night. They went to the Boroughs of Havering east of London and Lambeth just south of the Thames. The people in Havering said they didn't know anyone who was voting IN. In Lambeth it was the opposite. London will almost definitely vote IN taken in total. Manchester and Birmingham should be OUT. Northern Ireland will be IN, Scotland will be IN. Most rural areas are likely to be OUT. It will be finely balanced and probably settled by turnout in the areas.

What surprises me is the number of 40 something's that are for LEAVE.
2517

me :-))

3248

Probably a pogrom rather than a pogram if they went to Lambeth.

My vote was posted a fortnight ago.

What surprises me is the number of under 25's who say (supposedly) they will vote in.

Are they mad? Can they not look across the channel to see what is happening to their age group??

What some of these university graduates have got to realize, if the vote
is to remain and Southern European countries deteriorate further, more will
travel to this country seeking graduate jobs, thus making these positions
tighter then they already are, will then find out first hand what the problems
of the unskilled workers have had to contend with over the last 12 years..

Its what they do. That's why Labour and the SNP want to lower the voting age. Eventually they grow up, have responsibilities and recognise the error of their ways. With some notable exceptions.

If UK stays ın EU then I have made my fınal vote.


Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol

Coming of Age.

Well I watched that referendum prog with Paxman after the football , felt good because Italy got beat , but thought it poor , too much interference even from Paxman , too limited a time on subjects , why oh why do we constantly have to have celebrity input . Sheila Hancock , Sandie Shaw , what was that all about , dreadful .

Yes and didn't you just wish that Anna Soubry would shut up !

3236 - certainly my younger son will vote "remain" ...... don't know the intent of my other two children, but i'm pretty confident they won't abdicate responsibility

==============

fred - will you break the habit of a lifetime and actually cast a vote?

More likely to give up life.
