Does anyone else find it dodgy that the same person has managed to get into the audience for a political show debate within weeks of each other? She just so happens to be a Remainer...

Follow the money. The Poll of polls shows 48-41 against, despite Brexit fans spending twice as much.

That competition is an excellent positive idea!
I hope it gets advertised enough because it has the potential to make a great impact among football fans, especially if Sol Campbell and other Brexit footballers promote it too.
I for sure will be entering the competition and telling my mates and work colleagues too.

Another very good reason to vote OUT and stop this whole undemocratic federal expensive charade!

I believe that the media has twisted this into an "in" or "out" campaign when actually this referendum comes from those who have been fighting for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty ever since Gordon Brown signed it in 2010. The truth is that we want to vote about the conditions by which we are in Europe.
Back in 2010, I was working in Lisbon when the Lisbon Treaty was ratified. The Lisbon Treaty is a reform treaty that changes the EU Constitution. It was big news there as their Prime Minister, Durao Barroso, actually gave up his position to work in the EU Commission. I was teaching English to the lawyers who were trying to understand the new laws. They were mystified by how pedantic the new laws were, such as, how many windows and chairs certain buildings must have. There was also talk about how the treaty enforces a new EU army and EU anthem (Ode to Joy) and how countries "must" fly the EU flag.
I was intrigued and looked forward to an explanation and debates on the treaty coming up in British media so I could understand it better - but to my surprise, there was nothing. The British tv and newspapers gave it very little attention. In Europe there were countries, such as the Czech Republic, which were up in arms about how much sovereignty they would be giving up, yet over here in the UK, Gordon Brown signed it without giving the British a referendum on it. As I remember, this was about the time that Gordon Brown sold a huge amount of the British gold reserves.
Some countries, such as Ireland, put it to a referendum and their people said no. So these countries were given "breathing time" of a year or two and forced to put it to a referendum again! During this time, the EU researched the certain sectors of the population who had voted no and spent millions on propaganda directed at these sectors. The EU would not allow a no vote and persisted until these countries finally agreed. There was much intimidation at this time, countries were being told to fly the EU flag. I remember the Czech President complaining that EU officials had literally thrown the flag on his desk and told him to fly it.
All this frightened me and I rode to England on my motorbike to raise awareness of the Lisbon Treaty. I remember speaking to a traffic officer and he saw the stickers on my bike and jacket and he asked, "What is the Lisbon Treaty? Is it a Portuguese biker gang?". Nobody in England seemed to know anything about it at all!
That the EU has tried to cover up information about the Lisbon Treaty and even forced its ratification upon countries, has left no doubt in my mind that it is not only undemocratic and leaves populations with no choice at all but is also an insidious organisation and I will be voting against it.

No it shows 46% v 41%.
The article states Brexit has RAISED twice as much money IN RECENT WEEKS.
Nice spin.

In approximately 4 months UK voters will go to the polls to decide on a BREXIT or Not.
A deal has been done with the EU but does it in anyway address or impact the issues and concerns of the British people. Or is the deal mostly irrelevant to the main issues that British folk have with EU membership?
Why should or should we not BREXIT?
What are the benefits either way?
How will you vote? IN, OUT or Undecided?
If you post to this thread then please indicate how you will vote if you are eligible. If not eligible then vote anyway but indicate that you are not eligible.
I will tally the votes in June before the Referendum and confirm the outcome.
Thanks to all contributors who or wherever you are.
FYI - I'm for OUT!

Apparently over 600 economist have put there support behind Remain claiming that it will be an economic disaster for the next 10-20 years if we Leave the UK.
More establishment click in play here.
The British people (80%) are being well and truly conned into remaining in the UK and if they fall for it then all I can say is that those who vote to Remain get what they deserve! I feel sorry for those who vote Leave because they are the ones that will be hit the hardest when the EU club introduces more non sovereign laws and rules or goes completely tits up and has to go running to China or the US for help. Then we will be well and truly f.cked!
I am lucky that I can choose to Leave the UK if its a Remain vote but the vast majority cant just do that. Every single OUT voter in the British Isles needs to turned out on the 23 June to save this country's bacon and its people.
In total, 639 respondents completed an online survey, sent to non-student members of the Royal Economic Society and the Society of Business Economists, between 19 and 27 May 2016: a response rate of 17%. Data is unweighted and reported figures should only be taken as representative of the views of those who responded
The Royal Economic Society has approximately 3,000 individual members, of whom 60 per cent live outside the United Kingdom.

Unilever, BP, British Airways among others claimed overwhelming the
majority of British business's backed the single currency (a vital tool for
pro-euro campaigners)
Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury said at the time that those
labled 'anti European' were isolationists or nationalists and were *enemies of
growth!* If he had had his way he would have steered Britain directly into
economic catastrophe
Observer colomnist Andrew Rawnsley on 31. 06. 1999.
*On the pro euro side a grand coalition of business's, unions and the
substantial sane front rank political figures to take UK into the euro ...
Tony Blair, Peter Mandleson, Michael Heseltine, Ken Clarke,
Charles Kennedy, and Danny Alexander ...
So here is another lesson: Be wary of cross party alliances.
Again and again it is the lonely and the cussed figures who stand outside
the establishment who are vindicated over time!
