Perhaps you could suggest a better question.

Don't you agree that we shouldn't vote for anyone who opposes the people who don't want to agree with the people who don't want to exit the EU?
a) Yes
b) No
c) Huh?

This is by no means a official reading of the national vote but a general feel of what the collection of people who drop by here think and their stand of things. Gives you a feel of the kind of people who trawls through the forums.

Well it doesn't as not all of the people who trawl through the forums drop in here. Nor do all that drop in here regularly or irregularly cast their vote on this poll. It's therefore a totally meaningless poll.

1,500 views of this thread but only 92 voting Brexit. I don't think you can draw any meaningful conclusions?

Those that are happy with all the advantages of EU membership and understand the dangers of Brexit could be saving their vote for June 23rd.

I've not heard anything about a referendum. What are you talking about? You'd think they'd have mentioned it on the news.

You probably realise that's 1,500 views - not 1,500 individuals?

The number of viewings does not represent the number able to vote, as you can vote once, but visit the thread several times.

There is another way: we all start speaking Chinese, and adopt the RMB as the currency. We also start censoring the internet and limit personal freedoms.


That should start a reverse flow of migration.

I'm 100% IN - there is no good reason for me presented for going out, just people talking about immigration.

When the government, the bank of England, IMF tells you that things will get worse, much worse, I'd help people would listen.

I for one, don't want another 5-6 years of uncertainty, job cuts, reduced investment and so forth - and for what? So we can be 'richer'? Don't think so.

There's so many broken aspects of the domestic government that have nothing to do with EU - such as the dubious benefits system that is abused by people in this country, from this country.

If it's not broken, then don't fix it...

The same one as the referendum might be a good start and without the biased additional info. It would be the same bias if it read:

Do you want to stay in the EU or leave and have 10 years of economic disruption and uncertainty leading to loss of jobs and investment

The majority aren't saying it'll get "much worse". They say we'll be slightly less rich (but still better than Today, in or out). They also said we should join the euro, stay pegged to the deutsche mark and saw no issue with subprime mortgages.

Job cuts are inevitable as technology improves. The difference is your son will be fighting it out with a Greek and a Turk for that job at Tesco meaning many more Brits on benefits.

Immigration is a pretty big deal, otherwise why would we not be letting in all these Africans & Arabs coming over in boats? I'd take a rich Arab over the poor Romanian I saw on "How to get a council house" this week. Lived in UK for a few months, only spoke basic English, returned to Romania to bring over his wife and 5 (FIVE!) kids and waited until the council closed so child services had a duty of care to keep the kids off the street. More government debt and 1 less large council property available meaning the government having to pay for a British family to live in private housing also.
