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

Indeed, and that poll was commissioned by the Bruges Group, formed in honour of Margaret Thatcher's famous speech in that town, in which she said, "willing and active cooperation between independent sovereign states is the best way to build a successful European Community. To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the centre of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging and would jeopardise the objectives we seek to achieve."

If the arrogant elite in Brussels had heeded her words, we might not be where we are now.

Nevertheless, my point in this instance is simply that their poll is suspiciously in line with their own highly Eurosceptic views. I would be interested to see exactly how their questions were phrased and in which order they were asked.
