Hi all, if you want to see Martin's view on us leaving the EU read our news story:

Martin's reaction to Brexit: what will it mean for the economy, mortgages, savings and more?

Back to the original post...



After my "BREXIT - Why?" it was suggested to have a poll, so here it is.

Vote IN if you want to be in an expensive club with no control over borders or our countries future and ruled by people you will never have heard of.

Vote OUT if you want to be master of our own destiny ruled by people you voted in to do so.

Cheers fj

    Let's be fair here, we definitely needed another poll on this.

    Is the wording you've used the actual wording that will appear on the ballot papers?

    Like the scottish referendum before, this one will be hampered in the polling data.

    the Outs are far more vociferous, and make the biggest stink. And are more likely to attack others of a differing opinion. So remainers will not poll as strongly.

    I am not voting in this poll as it is just another completely meaningless voodoo poll.

    I'd say both sides were making as much stink as each other both on the (other) Brexit thread on this board and in the 'real world'.

    I'm very surprised by the 'results' of this poll so far!
