The idea of Britain doing better without the EU is just silly. it's like the idea of any US state trying to be independent from the US. It's too silly to even imagine happening. just like the Scottish referendum. It's just ridiculous.
The EU is not the reason for any of the UK's main problems.

Remembering Kerry

He must be stressed and exhausted,the fact his plans were altered and his time extended and talks after talks extended too,which also wear people out.
He has had a few days of constant wrangling and determined concentration as to winning some good deal here, having to address anything up to 27 other groups of people at times too. It is a wonder that today he could even wake up let alone get down to more business with his Cabinet. I am actually really pleased to see Ian Duncan Smith has come out to vote to leave,that makes me really glad that I am on the opposite side to him again.

I will do a bitontheslide day 1 prediction and state that it will be a comfortable OUT vote. The country has been restless toward the EU since the 70's, as a nation we are generally a bit pissed off with life, the EU is a perfect target. Out it will be.

I disagree, I think it'll be similar to the Scottish referendum and they'll be a lot of cold feet.

I can only base what I say now on what I have tried to dig out myself and I now have no faith in polling at all from the official sources.
However,I think in likelihood that it may well be that the UK overall prefers staying in by at least 55% to likely the other 45% for leaving. However,I really can see the votes of those wanting to stay in, not getting the full turnout whereas those against staying in will vote no matter what. I can also see that the 3 other Nations of the UK will near certainly vote to stay in,the regions and most cities of England voting to stay in too from the North to the Midlands. Then the far South outside of London, actually heavily voting to leave and resulting then in them carrying the vote to leave overall by a small margin, even by just 51% to 49%. Unless David Cameron and those advocating staying in really whip up the support and enthusiasm for the yes voters to get out and vote,then I can really see greater chaos looming after this referendum is over. My main message at this time right up to polling day now will be to those who think staying in is or maybe is the best and safest option, to please make sure they go out and vote. Never think your vote doesn't matter or won't count. Here on this issue, it is vital and anyone who has doubts at all that the UK would be better off out of the EU,I hope they will go out and vote to stay in.

You and me both Joey..mind you, she might win you the "IN" vote singlehandedly.
All the time she was speaking I thought of leaning the other way again. One thing I have discovered today, I really don't know which way I am going to vote yet. Once Alan Johnson whispers in my ear that will be it, putty in his hands. |

My thinking is that Cameron wouldn't have bothered with this re-negotiating phase if he thought IN would comfortably win without it. A lot of frustration has built up over the years since the 70's. We took a leap of faith then, and many feel they were conned by subsequent powers being surrendered to Brussels, lack of accountability and stupid amounts of waste with butter mountains etc etc etc.
Given this will be the last time those that voted in the 70's will get a chance to influence things, I think they will take their chance and correct the decision made in the 70's, and that is the group that would normally support the status quo Last edited by bitontheslide; 20-02-2016 at 06:55 PM. |

Gove is by far the biggest blow to both the PM and the In campaign, I was also slightly surprised about Patel. IDS is still quite influential within the party but not beyond. The other three are pretty uninspiring politicians and won't make much impact either way.
Think Boris will eventually declare for In tomorrow evening Last edited by MTVN; 20-02-2016 at 10:43 PM. |
