charon 4,943 Posted February 22, 2016 True re crude, but if it had been set up properly eons ago ala Norway then I'd be lighting ceegars with 20's the now. I'd have voted yes regardless. My opinion was that it was a referendum not an election and politics should not have came into it. Which boils down to the same thing with the Euro one. Cameron's whole spiel pre the agreement was written by Salmond ffs. Word for fucking word. For the record, although a Nat since I was about 5 ie primary 1, I still blame the Party for not achieving Indy decades ago. If they'd promised to disband after independence we would've had it in the bag back then. Glad Liebour are fucked up here for eternity though, Unionist fucktards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,571 Posted February 25, 2016 What is scary is the important decision seems to be reduced to a proxy war on who is going to lead the Conservative party. Boris' decision is not altruistic he is positioning himself. If the Out campaign lose he will graciously accept the will of the people and go back to being a loyal Conservative but if Out wins Cameron will have to go. It would be too humiliating to stay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, my sigh was that I'd really like both sides to get on with their fighting, rather than have another process point delay things. We've been through all this up here with independence but at least we had two years which included time to sort out the legals. Nice of Cameron to say it's the biggest decision for several generations to come and only give us 4 months to discuss. As I may have said before, I'm undecided and may not even bother voting. Good attitude for the guy who started the thread, huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When have we ever got help from Obama tho? The "back of the queue" thing was a very thinly non-veiled threat. The idea it would take ten years to "renogotiate" is like when the scummy Ryanair guy says with a grin "Oh, there's a £100 admin fee for refunding your £20 ticket to Minorca" or whatever. (And now I've said that, this country is full of mugs who actually put up with that so they'll probably fall for Obama's threats too). He's the EU's hired bully. It's more like my uncle saying "you'd better stay with your mother and be her slave until she dies or you'll be at the back of the queue for........ not-getting-run-over-by-me-in-my-dilapidated-Volvo".

Rotten Ali 600 Posted May 8, 2016 The other Wednesday morning, I helped out with doing a bit of leafleting for Vote Leave. Only an hour and a half but spoke with a number of householders on the way round. Only came across two people who were adamantly pro stay in the EU and did not want the leaflet. Compare that to about the other 8 or so that professed leaving would be the best option and you can easily see the numerical split in the two camps. If only the poles would show such a discrepancy then I could sleep better about such a monumental decision that I guess will engage only half of those with the power of the chance to express their opinion and flex their political muscle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted May 9, 2016 I reckon turnout for the referendum will be somewhere in the high 80s percentage wise. If it's above 83.9% it would beat the 1950 general election turnout to highest UK wide referendum/election turnout (the Scots take the crown of highest turnout in a UK election or referendum at 84.3% last year since figures appear to be available - easily at least - (1918) in England. Although I reckon that's extremely optimistic as the 1975 one garnered only a 65% turnout. I still reckon, similar to the Scottish referendum, turnout will pale any general election in recent years.

Im off to dig a hole in the garden..not to build a bomb shelter but to bury that cunt Cameron in it. The politics of fear. The last ditch grasp at your basest emotions in the hope of overcoming your rational response that we've all been sold down the river on Europe for the last 43 years. It may very well serve the corporations and their tax arrangements extraordinarily well indeed and as a result also those who own them by virtue of shareholding (cough, eton and oxbridge politicians, cough), however the relaxation of 'trade barriers' seems hard to swallow as a 'Joe Blow' when you still can't bring back unlimited fags from a cheaper source and sell them here for a small profit as an individual (as an example). Oh no, that's not 'trade' and 'relaxation of embargoes and tarriffs' that's 'smuggling'. I could be entirely wrong about all this, but as I've said before, somewhere above probably, finding unbiased information is extremely hard. And even if I am wrong, you aren't going to convince me with this shyze about terrorists, you've used this ploy as a last resort far too many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
