Interesting. Only 17% of them responded. Wonder what the other 83% think.

I would guess the leave campaign would be more likely to respond,I reckon pretty much all the non responses would be remain

A bit of forethought by our Govenment would do any harm, especially as it appears other governments abroad are doing so.

From what I've read the discussions between the core EU countries cover two areas. Firstly, the initial crisis management if we vote out. The action to be taken to stabilise the financial system and avoid recession. Secondly, initial discussions on what the EU's negotiating position with the UK would be. Whether to adopt a "punitive" approach to the UK in order to prevent contagion, or a more conciliatory approach.

The government, Treasury and B of E should definitely be doing some contingency planning to deal with the financial shock of a vote Leave. If they were to widely publicise that they were doing that I expect they would be accused of scaremongering. My guess is that they are doing some contingency planning but not enough.

Its also important that some thought is being given to the UK's negotiating strategy if we vote out. In particular whether or not we will seek access to the single market. But it would be entirely pointless for Cameron and the existing government to do that since they would have no say in the matter.

I agree the leave campaigners do seem to be more responsible.

Where abouts in Manc did you vote mate?

I'm voting out so no fecker can change my mind.

I think the "silent majority" will surprise a few. In public yeah we are diplomatic but in a private booth we want our borders back ! no more immigration or atleast more controlled on our terms. No free open borders.

woodhouse park but the ballot paper just read Manchester area

We cannot run the risk of a recession (or slow down) that leaving the EU might bring. When the economy catches a cold health and social care usually has the flu for several years!

So you´re willing to abandon your liberty in favour of perhaps a more secure economy.

We have had more Liberty in Europe as part of the European Union. Russia, for example, would love to see a fragmented Europe!

Why? Is it about the time when the unelected leader of the EU met the unelected leader of Ukraine to complain about an election in the Crimea? That time when the Russian government complained?
