mishochu Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Great stuff, hopefully they don't get bullied into staying (no thanks, Obama)
Cuffy_Meigs Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 The latest opinion poll I saw reports that there is a significant majority in favour of remaining in but once you account for the fact that many of those people don't care enough to vote, it is almost level. The voting blocs seem to be as I expected, viz. those whose income comes from government want to stay in while those whose income largely goes to government want to leave. I find that when I inquire about people's knowledge of the EU, those with even the foggiest notion are invariably anti-EU. In this respect it is a bit like religion - if you want to understand the Bible, ask an atheist. I suspected there may also be a gender split but the polls say not. With the resources of almost an entire continent supporting the Remain campaign, I fear the results will make for depressing reading and will no doubt be grasped as a mandate for ever more government madness.
liberecak Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 While I'm obviously hoping Britain votes to leave COMECON on June 23, I'm wary of sharing this video because all the insufferable Leftists I've wound up being friends with will just say "Ewww, Farage!" and dismiss it without watching. Such are the times we live in. Still, a great source of material for arguing your corner in pubs.
aviet Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I find that when I inquire about people's knowledge of the EU, those with even the foggiest notion are invariably anti-EU. In this respect it is a bit like religion - if you want to understand the Bible, ask an atheist. I have found the opposite. I've had a lot of arguments about it and those pro tend to stumble after their first sentence. Though I guess the reality is few people know anything about the EU. Another poll shows the age-distribution of leanings: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3592871/Happy-birthday-ve-turned-Eurosceptic-Polling-data-reveals-43-age-majority-people-start-Brexit.html A good case for raising the age of entry for the voting franchise Likewise, I am also hoping that the result is hinged on a low turnout of youngsters. Coincidentally, this film is coming out on 23 June: We will not go quietly into the night. The EU is in serious trouble either way. Last year a lot of countries ignored the rules and built border fences and installed checkpoints. This year is seems highly likely that the Eastern Europeans will ignore their 250K Euro fines for not excepting economic migrants.
jah Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 It's a good film. I'd be astonished if any reasonable person would vote to stay after watching it. The problem is, those who want to stay aren't reasonable and won't watch it anyway.

Share it wherever else you can think could make a difference
A4E Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I did not think EU was that bad. Once again internet enlightened me.
Greig Mair Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I was just about to post a link to that movie here. Just watching it just now. I will be coming out of voting retirement to vote to leave the EU for sure. 1
