Sad thing is, is that I keep hearing 'change is bad' from people.......
 
I doubt the poll is anything close to accurate across the whole UK population, the forum members are predominantly from the working/middle class. From what I've seen most of the polls are pretty close to a 50/50 split. https://ig.ft.com/sites/brexit-polling/


I was with 3 other people today.3 out, 1 in BUT he is only in because hev is trying to invest his tax evaded 14 year investment in Spain. Yes 14 years rental and 14 years of Surrey capital gains not declared!
 
The more I see of Ed Miliband the more I think he's a complete idiot. I watched him on question time, he's no idea about anything. His brother is a waste of space as well.
 
I did a bit of scratching around to see the arguments for staying in a for exiting. I haven't lived in the UK since half way through the Thatcher years so much of the finer points of the arguments on both sides were lost on me but the one thing I did notice is how differently the two campaigns are structured.

You've got the exit side pointing to many of the UK's current woes and saying how these would improve if you were out of the EU.

Then you've got the stay side who don't seem to be pointing to much apart from fear mongering about numerous years of reduced trade and possible recession. The biggest worry for me is that most of the noise about how UK should stay in the EU is coming from other countries. Everyone from France to the US to the G7 leaders seem to want the UK to stay. Obviously none of the above are looking out for anyone other than themselves so to me it looks like remaining is definately doing everyone else a big favour but I'm not seeing any evidence it would actually be good for the UK.
 
How do you think the vote will go? Checked the poll here & most were for leave, but these polls are not accurate & and"regular" polls can be swayed by the way questions are phrased, so they are not always accurate either.
 
Plus there's the small matter of turn out for the poll here, so to use a well known saying, 'there's lies, down right lies and statistics', closely followed by polls. Hope the turn out for the 23rd is high, or whatever the result, we will be having this all over again in a few years time.
