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....

She will. At least better than Labour anyway. She will have 4 years to get the hang of it. She survived being the Home Secretary well. The average length in post is 2 years plus. It is a very tough job. She has managed to be one of the longest serving ever since about 1890.

If he is a redneck then he is a long way from home. That is a disparaging term used by democrats in the USA for white workers in the Southern States. Something they fail to do about the crime ridden black neighbourhoods in the North.
To depict all UKippers as BNP is as wrong as casting all tories as toffs. That poster is a montage and intended to inflame. The UKIP poster was unnecessary but the photo was real.

a poor white person without education, especially one living in the countryside in the southern US, who has prejudiced (= unfair and unreasonable) ideas and beliefs
Note: It says especially and not only. Clearly applies to UKIP as well.
The highest Leave votes were in the areas of the poorest education.

She might win. You can get about 11/4 for her. Not bad odds, May is 2/5

Boris and Leadsom are a good match, given that neither seemed to believe in Brexit a short while ago.

That's a bit rich coming from a supporter of the candidate that has undergone a damascene conversion in the blink of an eye.

Second EU referendum would be possible, former attorney general says
Research suggests as many as 1.2 million Leave voters now regret their vote
A second EU referendum could be justified if it becomes clear public opinion has shifted strongly against Brexit, the former attorney general has said.
Dominic Grieve, a Conservative MP who was the Government’s chief legal advisor until 2014, said the result of the first referendum had to be “treated with respect” but that it was not necessarily set in stone.
In correspondence seen and verified by The Independent Mr Grieve tells a constituent that the result of the first referendum cannot be ignored, but that a second plebiscite could become democratically justifiable.

UKIP appeals to the lowest common denominator in society. It is no surprise that their only MP is from an area populated by rednecks.!
Oh well just as we have been getting along so well you call me the lowest common denominator !
Tell me what you would have done in the Welsh Assembley Elections last month before the referendum ?
a} vote Conservative and back Cammy's view (remain vote)
b) vote Plaid Cymru ... bigger idiots than the SNP (remain vote)
c) vote Corbyn ... stick a red rossette on a monkey in most of Wales and it would win ( remain vote)
d) vote UKIP ... feck the EU (out vote)
If Wales had voted remain and Labour had won a majority in the Welsh Assembly then the Brexit vote would have been 3 countries against 1.
UKIP swung the Welsh vote.
