What's the point, nobodies listening on either side, and I certainly doubt anyone's changed their voting intentions based on these poll threads.
At this point most people are just coming here to bicker.

Switzerland voted in a referendum to restrict EU free movement in 2014, and the issue has been put on hold until after the UK referendum (I wonder why...). The EU wants the Swiss people to vote again (they do that when they don't get the right result) and another referendum is expected in late 2016. By the end of the year Brexit could have happened and the the Swiss may have voted again to restrict free movement. Combine that with the rise of nationalism/anti-EU sentiment across the whole continent, and what makes you think the EU is such a strong negotiating position?
The EU needs to change, it can't just bully countries into accepting things they don't want (basically a move toward a superstate), that's one of the reasons the whole project is starting to fall apart. The people of France/Sweden want their own referendum, the European parliament has a bunch of MEP's who are opposed to the very idea of the EU, nationalism on the rise across the continent etc.
And please don't insult me again in your response this time.

But despite claiming to be opposed to the EU, they're all desperate to keep their own positions in it, and they're all doing their best to keep their faces and feet in the EU gravy train.
If they were sincere about their anti-EU convictions, they wouldn't become MEPs in the first place.
Apart from 24 UKIP MEP's who want Britain to leaveand so are basically saying "please fire me". And Daniel Hannan.
Still claiming their expenses though

There is a difference between preventing farming disappearing and consuming 40% of the EU budget.
What exactly do the 'slipper farmers' produce? Nothing. They get paid for NOT producing. Madness.
The last time there was a shortage, the meat scare, did the EU release the stored stuff to stabilise the price and stop it shooting up? Did they hell.

MEPs don't have expenses - they have allowances.
So why keep it under wraps until after the referendum? What else is under wraps until after June 23rd?
I'm still on the fence but find this sort of stuff troubling.

That's the same Times article you quoted before 
How much stuff is just work in progress that isn't ready yet vs. things being intentionally held back? Either way, we aren't in schengen so can continue to insist that Turkish visitors have visas if we wanted to.
I can't really blame the EU for not openly discussing potential future plans until the referendum has taken place, there's enough misinformation flying around without adding new sources into the mix.

What do you think about the video?
the system all ready changed, now to get your money you have to prove to the EU that your a active farmer
Everybody knows it doesn't matter how much we hear about red lines and veto's we will adopt the Euro, we will join Schengen,Turkey and others will join the EU, we will have an EU army, tax and welfare system and eventually a single Govt.
Some will come quicker than others but anybody who thinks all these things will happen and we'll just be able to opt out are barmy.

You trust the LSE as an unbiased source?, surely the €25,258,323 they have had from the EU may influence them?
It's also a convenient way of dismissing all academic evidence, since it doesn't support your pov.

How do you people feel the latest mass murdering spree in Orlando, the most deadly mass shooting in US history, will affect the EU referendum? It is looking more and more likely to be the work of an extremist with probable leanings to well discussed ideology. Without a shadow of a doubt, if that's the case, it will boost Donald Trump's ratings, but how will the UK react? Another boost to Brexit, even if many here will say the link to immigration is tenuous?
Put it like this if you were thinking of voting Remain I doubt this will make you more likely to do it.
The widespreed anti gay ideology of many americans?
Not too sure why that would affect the eu vote.
Although i suppose it means on the 25th you could get ****ed licking the roads of soho as everyone at pride pours one out for thier lost brothers.
I don't really think the sort of people who believe that a US national would have been prevented from carrying out the attack by tougher immigration policies would have been anything other than strongly in favour of Brexit, to be honest. People can't vote for strong Brexit, maybe they can put the cross in the box more angrily, but I can't see it affecting much.
