In for me.

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!

I'd say we were reading two different threads? The attacks and sarcasm where pretty one sided.

Agreed your vile personal attack on myself and other leave voters was truly despicable.

The same thread am afraid.

For people on the fence (or boarder *sic*) some of the responses from both sides have been petulant, guesswork and pathetic. They (that is I) want to be swayed by persuasive facts and not ridiculous statements.

The (other) thread seems pretty consistent with the 'real world' campaign too.

Am afraid people who I talk to are becoming disenfranchised with both sides and will vote against the side they feel are talking less doomsday.

Hence the current 'results' in this poll I would suggest.

Not from where I stand. The inners often talk as if they are stating fact, and ridicule the outers as if they are a bunch of flat-Earthers using terms such as 'isolationist'. They suddenly forget that economic predictions have a history of being appalling. In my view the inners have gone to an extreme, of predicting dire consequences. Kamal Ahmad on Auntie Beeb made an in my opinion wise statement that out might mean a period of uncertainty, a bit of a hit on the economy, but in the long term a benefit. Of course he was expressing one viewpoint, and not his own, as he must remain neutral.

Of course the outers ignore facts too.

You are making the HUGE assumption there that the average MSEer will be visiting the Savings & Investments board.

Of course they are, you and I are here ain't we?

I'm not entering the debate, but I think you mean disenchanted, rather than disenfranchised;)

Why didnt you make a poll to get the general consensus on if members want a In or Out poll?

Sounds like a great idea - you do it, and do it now!

It could be worse I could have pointed out the misspelt 'were' as per Atush OP but choose not to points score.

This thread has descended into the other one.....

I'm starting to agree with Farage when he says there are too many polls ...
