Poll: Stay or leave the EU.

[RichardCoulter]

I've created this poll to indicate how CF members will be voting in the forthcoming referendum.

What some people do to ensure that their vote is counted, but don't favour any of the options, is to put a large X across the whole of the ballot paper.

All votes are confidential and the poll will close on the day that the actual referendum takes place.

This has already been done but I guess some people may have changed their minds.

Seems ok to do a new poll, the other one is a couple of months old now.

[RichardCoulter]

Didn't realise that this had been done previously.

It'll be interesting to compare the two.

Yes. Well my vote certainly hasn't changed.

Nor mine.

Vote done no surprise in my choice lol.

I'm more certain than I have ever been about getting out.

As of right now I think remain will edge it but likely not with a margin large enough to make this issue go away. There certainly seems to be a momentum towards leave at the minute but who knows what doom and gloom is waiting to hit the public. I have never been a supporter of negative campaigning and if we do vote to remain it will send all the wrong messages to politicians who will revert to it by default in future turning more people off politics and voting, maybe that's the plan.

Leave, but sadly that'll not be the result.

I think that this result would be very useful.

A lot of people I've spoken to are broadly in favour of us being in the EU, but are fed up of certain elements, mainly immigration.

My hope would be that if a very marginal vote to remain was the outcome, our Government could tell the EU that their people voted to stay but only by a cats whisker and that to appease us they they need to address the areas of concern.

The bookies are laying odds on it being a 71% result in favour of us staying in the EU.

There have been claims that the registration deadline was only extended because the Government believes that it's mainly young people who left it to the last minute and that they are more likely to vote for us to stay in the EU.

Sadly my experience so far has been younger voters will vote to remain not because they have taken anytime to research things but are swayed by very trivial reasons like roaming charges and cost of holidays. Bit depressing to be honest but it is what it is.

It's all about immigration, border control and national sovereignty.

I vote out.

There as good a reason as any, things that actually effect them rather than things people think affect them

I vote out.

That's the thing with border controls, iirc last year immigration from outside the EU which we can control was greater than immigration from inside the EU which we can't.
