No I don't know what it means. You seem to be suggesting that if someone was pushed over the threshold of caring by a social media thing, that this is somehow bad. I seriously don't get it.

I'll put it this way, do you think someone who needs a shove from social media the day before to even register is that engaged and therefore likely to make an informed choice of their own?

You can probably counter it with people voting the way that The Express is telling them to vote. The issue is uninformed people willing to believe whatever aligns with their own prejudices, not whatever prompted them into voting.

Very happy that I don't actually have to be in the country through all of this. From a safe distance, this thread can just be amusing for now, until any results come through. "Cretins", "losers" and "traitors" all on this page - seems to sum up the shambles this has turned in to.

Oh, and remain for me, incidentally, postal vote done :p Not getting involved beyond that, but I would think that anyone hoping to convince casual browsers either way of their points are not going to achieve anything through their posts here other than putting people off the whole thing.

Cretin is a person from Crete.

I'm sure getting out of the EU affects you personally, which is a shame for the kids in GB today, and for their kids... hopefully most voters think a bit further ahead.
 
Im still flip flopping, had an argument with a friend today and by the end of it i had changed sides...and he didn't even speak.

Yes, I'm sure you meant people from Crete, the accepted demonym of which is Cretans.

It absolutely does affect me, as someone who spent 24ish years growing up in the UK, has now spent 5 years living in China/Taiwan, and would like to return to Europe with my wife/potential family within the next few years.

I personally would not like to return to a UK which has distanced itself from Europe, but the conditions of living and working in another EU country will be affected by what happens in the vote.

Quite the opposite.

If it takes FB to motive our younger possible voters, it can only be a good thing.

Do you think this is an episode of 24? People who haven't registered to vote by now have obviously not taken this seriously, they are more interested in pressing the like button.

24 hours to digest and make a half educated opinion about something so serious?

It's obvious, the IN club want to play the dice game hoping they'll get votes from the ignorance is bliss crowd. It might backfire, I don't know. If Facebook is involved it can only be a bad thing.

Poor argument. The UK would leave the EU, I will drive my BMW and get it serviced at a German owned dealership. Now go down that rabbit hole.

What has Europe recently done for us? Apart from excellent cars? Do you ever watch the Eurovision song contest?

If you want to move your family around the world that's your freedom of choice.

I just can't believe how more people cannot see how Great this country can be, and should be governed by its own people. A democracy.

EDIT: Then again the poll is showing great promise in the realms of this forum.

What if that 'mate' is very well informed and didn't need FB to wake them out of a coma on the eve of registration?

Not quite the same, also the fella who went down the pub and got into a discussion about the referendum i'd say is a lot more engaged than a 'walking dead' FB snail who couldn't even be arsed to sign up despite having 6 months to do so.
