    I think we've been subdued and our grandfathers would be on the streets about this but I still think if they gave us the dignity of asking us we'd manage to muster up enough courage to say no... I think it's be pretty comprehensive also - perhaps 75:25, which they know, which is why they daren't ask.

    I think the people jumping to escape the EU are cowards afraid of change, and imagined issues. I'll vote to leave the EU when I want to leave the EU, not before then because a bunch of out of touch little Englanders have lost touch with reality.

    You can 'believe' there would be 75% in favour of leaving the EU all you like, but given the polling that has been done on the issue it says more about your own delusions than reality.

    There is nothing more certain that you WONT vote when you want to leave as no party is giving you that option.

    You MAY get an opportunity to vote if Tories or UKIP have sufficient MPs after the election.

    Well,

    1. The report is six months old
    2. It was produced by the Fabian Society (so no chance of any political bias then.:))
    3. It says UKIP will 'damage' the Conservatives in 111 seats and damage Labour in 83 seats, so it's not exactly a one-way street.

    Even at current polling, they look set to win ~5x the votes that the SNP will get.

  • See the Tories are up to their same old tricks again and trying to appeal to the sad low self esteem element that spend every day of their lives in a panic over house prices falling, two stories out this week.

    This time it is Ed Milliband and the Labour party that will cause house prices to fall should you vote for them. A few months ago in the by election it was UKIP that was going to cause local house prices to collapse.

    I would like to think this scare tactic would not work, whoever comes out with that garbage, but sadly the Tories know how to appeal to these types of muppets, more so the ones that spend their whole lives on internet property chat rooms trying to convince and bully everyone into not talking the market down :-)
