EU Brexit - How will you vote given the latest "news"

[Spoon]

Sad thing is, is that I keep hearing 'change is bad' from people.......

 

[sparksburnout]

Well that little yellow bar keeps creeping up, lets hope its it reflects the hopeful outcome............

I doubt the poll is anything close to accurate across the whole UK population, the forum members are predominantly from the working/middle class. From what I've seen most of the polls are pretty close to a 50/50 split. https://ig.ft.com/sites/brexit-polling/

The more I see of Ed Miliband the more I think he's a complete idiot. I watched him on question time, he's no idea about anything. His brother is a waste of space as well.

I did a bit of scratching around to see the arguments for staying in a for exiting. I haven't lived in the UK since half way through the Thatcher years so much of the finer points of the arguments on both sides were lost on me but the one thing I did notice is how differently the two campaigns are structured.

You've got the exit side pointing to many of the UK's current woes and saying how these would improve if you were out of the EU.

Then you've got the stay side who don't seem to be pointing to much apart from fear mongering about numerous years of reduced trade and possible recession. The biggest worry for me is that most of the noise about how UK should stay in the EU is coming from other countries. Everyone from France to the US to the G7 leaders seem to want the UK to stay. Obviously none of the above are looking out for anyone other than themselves so to me it looks like remaining is definately doing everyone else a big favour but I'm not seeing any evidence it would actually be good for the UK.

How do you think the vote will go? Checked the poll here & most were for leave, but these polls are not accurate & and"regular" polls can be swayed by the way questions are phrased, so they are not always accurate either.

Plus there's the small matter of turn out for the poll here, so to use a well known saying, 'there's lies, down right lies and statistics', closely followed by polls. Hope the turn out for the 23rd is high, or whatever the result, we will be having this all over again in a few years time.

ha ha ha. The French Governments have ALWAYS made the UK's position difficult in the EU and if we stay they will be even more difficult.

If the UK leaves, the entire EU budget is screwed, and Germany and France WILL have to pay more to maintain the spending.... and France can't afford it.

Sure the UK leaving the EU will cause us temporary issues, but will also cause for some VERY difficult decisions in Brussels - and these are the ones that should be taken now...... The gravy train is about to come off the rails.........

A couple of reports out last week stated Germany would suffer badly from Brexit, one from a German bank has predicted Britain leaving the EU will cost the German economy almost £35 billion plunging the country into financial disrepair, the other from a leading credit insurer Euler Hermes who are based in Paris, according to Euler Hermes the German car industry would suffer a £1.5billion (€2bn) blow and the country's mechanical engineers and chemical industry would lose out on almost £1bn each, with this much at stake why did Dave achieve so little while renegotiating Britains position in the EU.

The reports were based on the result of the inevitable down turn of the UK economy as a result of brexit.

Brexit could spark sharp rise in UK + EU insolvencies

The outers on here will now dismiss the reports authors as being in the pay of the EU, depend on the EU for their pensions, get work from the EU or whatever the dream up to dismiss yet another paper on the consequence of a brexit.

Seems like almost 90% of our top economists are in the pay of Brussels too

Economists overwhelmingly reject Brexit in boost for Cameron | Politics | The Guardian
