EU referendum

[coleridge]

Far to much of this a-la the above on how rich people get handouts due to shit policy.

I have found that people i speak to reflect here to an extent but i would say 70-30 are strongly in favour of leaving.

You think that the ranting Daily Mail reading middle-aged white men that make up most of this forum are representative of the electorate?

As for the 'people I speak to' argument. See above.

Can you substantiate that please? I guarantee that most left wingers will think the forum right wing and most right wingers will think the forum left wing.

That's not even touching on the fact that there are elements of both left and right that wasn't to leave the EU and elements of both that want to stay.

Reading the forum is all the evidence I need. I'd also check the polls, which are not reflected here.

Quitting the EU 'would help our security', former MI6 chief suggests

Sir Richard Dearlove said that Britain’s borders could be strengthened in the event of a Brexit and extremists could be more easily deported, moves which he said were “security gains” with little apparent downside.

Seems overwhelming evidence in support of quitting has more pros than cons.

We can survive on our own. And can do deals with people who offer equal value in return.

Let's face it. Remaining or leaving has its pros and cons - I'm not going to vote because of this.

Well what a "Mummy's special little snowflake" you are, fancy being asked to think a bit an make your f*cking own mind up.

Your forefathers along with many others suffered, fought, and in many cases died so you have a vote, that you have the freedom to hold an opinion is down to them, that your descendants may not is on your toes.

current MI6 chief says the opposite, pretty much all other intelligence chiefs say the opposite, why you not post that news Urmie? Some people might find it interesting

Definitely, if you only look for evidence to back up your long held views. I can assure you for somebody trying to decide its not quite so clear cut

Its not that simple is it. It would only be more secure if we tightened up the boarder security which would make it harder to get in and out of the coutry and make us more isolated so the security gain only comes with an economic cost. We could close all the boarders and be really safe but the economy would tank - it is a sliding scale with a big negative influence attached and to just point out one side of that scale is a completely flawed argument.

out of the few other forums I look at this is by far the most right wing forum. but it could just be based on a vocal minority.


Not that this is a Left/Right wing issue, and just to give you an idea of variance from other forums though, 1 I go to ran a similar poll with a lot more options to get an idea what people in Europe and the rest of the world think, this was the result of the UK voters.

Stay In = 48%
Leave = 10%
Undecided = 12%
