Sky News Poll Reveals Huge Divide On Europe

No, but I could be swayed depending on debate/negociationsI love comments like this. It's always amusing to see people so adamant that their position is being suppressed by the majority. nearly 2:1 for voting to leave currently Graham, shows how objective you are

Yer - I'm surprised! From the discussions had on here, it really does appear only a couple are for opting out! You are made out to be a complete loon for wanting to get out of the EU and it seems somehow never ending.
Never mind the amount of insults about how racist, xenophobic etc you are for such an abhorrent view!
VERY pleased to be wrong on this one....though there is obviously still time for a load to vote!
Maybe the pro voice is just far more vocal and passionate about it?0 -

Yer, it's only 4PM.
Only the pensioners, unemployed, housewives, truant schoolkids, prisoners and those bored at work have voted.

NoPot Pourri!
At the time of writing 19.44% are definitely racist, 44.44% are likely racist and are unlikely to change their ways unless Cameron takes back the fruitcake comment, 25% are liberal bigots and 11.11% don't really know where they are but will probably vote out when they realise all this "waycist" rubbish is a smoke screen invented by the far left.0 -

What isn't clear is how we should go about rectifying things. I don't think anyone who is seen as pro-EU wants to maintain the status quo. As Gen says, it's a great free trade organisation and we shouldn't lose sight of that.
I'm all in favour of the idea behind the EU, and consider that to leave it would cause huge economic damage to regions of the UK.
That said, the EU is both corrupt and undemocratic. As it stands we should pull out whatever the benefits of membership or else it will continue to become ever more corrupt and undemocratic. In the unlikely event of this changing due to negotiations then I would certainly vote to stay in."When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson0 -

NoThere are many that think Labour will concede to including a referendum in their policies in the approach to the General Election, even though they are dead set against it right now.

The EU may have it's faults, but these are vastly blown out of proportion and exaggerated by the neighsayers, and on the whole it's been an immensely positive thing for the UK.
The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

For crying out loud quit your jibber jabber. The EU has failed, it's been doomed for years - raiding Cypriot bank accounts for example is not the occasional "fault" as you like to portray it - it's total and utter disaster.0
