I'm voting to:

(a) scrap Trident, so that we can

(b) fit a load of otherwise surplus submarine engines to Great Britain, so that we can

© take the entire island on a cruise to somewhere more interesting. Possibly the Carribean. (Ireland probably needs to move out of the way.)

You didn't put that option in the poll, so I've clicked on 'in' for the time being.



That reminds me of one of my favourite Satirewire articles: http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/australia.shtml

In. I'm not sure I understand all of the implications enough (financial/social/political) as any "facts" have been spun so hard by both sides that it's impossible to known the truth. I've taken a philosophical view, namely, should we be trying to remain closer to other countries or distancing ourselves from them.....

I'm worrying that if we vote OUT, that the very next day the Queen will keel over


Then we'll have Boris orchestrating a state funeral, and Charles off his potty & onto the throne with Queenish Camilla sitting by his side


And we'll wonder how the fuck we all ended up there


Let's all hold hands and sing 'we are the world, we are the people'


And what will we call croissant and baguettes ?


Oh and please, let's go back to pre-decimal and the Police in Reliant Robins

Have been 'in' (by a fag paper) for a while but am now, if i force myself to admit it, a genuine 'undecided' and could go either way.


Yes, I know... there are so many unpleasant gobshites in the 'out' group and, well, we all want to play with the popular kids don't we?


I dunno. Always was suspicious of those popular f*ckers.

I remember a time when men worked all week and would bring home their wages and give them to their wives..


She would give him back some 'Pocket Money' for Beer and Baccy. and manage the home finances with the rest..


This may well of founded the idea of the E.E.C. and the E.U.


The E.U suggests we are not capable of managing our own finances..


Stuff the E.U. I'm OUT

Latest:


Remain a member of the European Union 96 81%


Leave the European Union 19 16%


Unsure 4 3%


Other 0 0%


Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting and a good idea, but asking the EDF users how they would vote on this issue is a bit like doing a straw poll of Guardian subscribers in Hampstead! It's certainly way out of kilter with the rest of the UK.

Can't vote but spouse is voting IN as is his entire family (siblings and parents).


Doesn't want a recession, and thinks economically UK is better off in Europe. What we pay for the trade access is well worth it.


Also, he doesn't mind immigrants (having married one). We have Polish friends. Virtually all EU migrants are in work so they pay their way in the country etc. Also, he doesn't value the idea of total sovereignty that much.

I'm starting to think Foxy is actually some element of a Turing Test.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
