re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

Well the latest Brexit poll figures appears to be heading in the 'out' direction.

Quote:
IN EARLY 2015 the chances of ”Brexit”— Britain departing from the European Union—seemed remote. Today, largely because of Europe’s migration crisis and the interminable euro mess, the polls have narrowed. Some recent surveys even find a majority of Britons wanting to leave.

No wonder Cameron wants the vote over and done with. With things in the EU steadily getting worse, they must know that delaying the referendum will almost certainly assist the out campaign. I dare say this is focussing the minds of the Eurocrats on doing some sort of deal but I certainly wouldn't bet on them coming up with anything which would change my mind. I see that as a great shame. The EU could have been wonderful, it could have taken the best the individual nations had to offer and built on that. It could have encouraged co-operation and achieved so much more but for the obsession with ever greater regulation, monetary union, open borders and the unwavering aim of a single European state.

I reckon the referendum will happen well before the summer and that's because it will bring even more migration chaos amongst a whole load of other problems which aren't going away.
