Re: How will you vote in the EU referendum?

We are, I hope, so leaving!

I'm afraid I've lost all respect for Obama; he's well out of order sticking his nose into this. We do not "lead" the EU anywhere. They are leading us...to disaster! They're the reason we can't get a free trade deal with the US - it's got nothing to do with him or the States. The EU is going to collapse, hopefully sooner rather than later, and I'd rather we were out before that happens, else they'll drag us down with 'em.

Assuming it isn't already too late, of course.

And assuming Cameron actually takes any notice of a Leave result. I'm still not sure he will, even though it would doubtless be political hara-kiri if he ignored the expressed wishes of we the electorate.

Rather than "what better" have you thought about "not worse"? You may then actually think about your future.

The choice is still entirely yours though.

Re: How will you vote in the EU referendum?

I know people in their 70s+ are going to vote on how it will effect not them, but their children & Grand children.

As a 60yr old I will be voting out to leave a better future (IMHO) for the youth of today.

Re: How will you vote in the EU referendum?

I'm voting out and my main reason for doing it is I think my kids will have a better future in a UK that has complete control of it's affairs and because the ultimate goal of the EU of a federal Europe is complete disaster. As for Obama he can sod off back to the USA and stay there, since he became president there has been a growing anti UK sentiment amongst some in the US and it's starting to show as far down as movies and TV shows it like him is petty and pathetic. If real and proper reform of the EU was possible I might vote to stay in but that's just not an option the leader's of the EU are completely tunneled visioned and are risking a war to achieve their preferred goal. Don't just do the UK a favour on the 23rd of June do the whole of Europe one and vote to leave.

Re: How will you vote in the EU referendum?

I'm seeing similar figures in other places across the net too, I don't know of the outcome though, except that the older generation tends to vote and be rather more cynical than the younger idealistic people - who don't tend to bother. Then again this has a certain novelty value unlike a GE so who knows.

It's comfortable lead for remain at the moment according to Mori (49% remain to 39% leave -and this was before Obama). http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/archives/9673 . Internet polls/forums aren't representative of the population (thankfully !) . The big unknown will be turnout, and how that will affect the result.

As an aside why on earth do we vote on a Thursday and not weekends like other countries ? And why can't we vote online on this day and age ? (there'll be some who argue security, but postal voting is hardly secure. In fact voting in a booth isn't secure, you just need to turn up and say a name, no id required). The Govt. don't exactly encourage the young to vote either, probably because they don't vote for them. 800k have disappeared off the electoral register http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...nges-to-system, However as they are more likely to vote remain, the Govt. could regret that.
