Poll: The EU Referendum: How Will You Vote? (June Poll)

From that article though she says “My husband joined, he obviously enrolled me at the same time,” she said. “It wasn’t with my knowledge.”

Also being part of the BNP doesn't automatically make you racist.

Do we think the campaign is going to go to a leave vote after last night or are we still heading for remain?

I'm betting remain still. Nervous voters I think will seal it for remain.

 

[Mr Jack]

Surely you must accept that we shouldn't allow more people into the country than our infrastructure can service?

I don't see any evidence that this is occurring or stands a reasonable chance of occurring. As it stands EU migration is a net benefit for our exchequer and a big benefit for our economy. One of few things I agree with Cameron about is that you need a strong economy to have good services (it's just a pity he's wrong about how to build a strong economy), immigration helps us have that strong economy.

On that basis alone we should only choose the cream - why would you want it to be otherwise?

Firstly, how do you define "cream"? I'm pretty uncomfortable with the notion that people who earn more are better than those who earn less; I think that a Romanian cleaning toilets is still making a positive contribution to our country and our society. Secondly, I think that businesses are better at choosing who they want to employ than the government is at deciding who should come into the country.

We can already look at non-EU migration to see the problems with the system. We see Theresa May denying British citizens the right to live in the UK with their spouse and children because they don't earn enough money (more, by the way, than we pay junior nurses), we see people who've lived and worked for years in this country turfed out because of arbitrary changes made to the rules, and we see Indian restaurants closing because they can't bring over skilled chefs because they don't meet the arbitrary criteria set by the government bureaucracy. I don't think this is an improvement.

And since you didn't answer, I'll ask again: why do you think a top-down, bureaucratic, centrally dictated approach is the best way of controlling the labour market?

Which is to be expected from previous polls on GE results etc, the demographic here isn't representative nationally.

UKIP support on OCuk is 33% above the national average. Remain getting to 45% on here is quite remarkable!

I do agree with you on this except the part of not seeing any evidence of the strain on our infrastructure. Housing, Schools and the NHS are creaking - I agree cuts haven't helped but all those are supply and demand services. The cuts have reduces the supply and equally the demand has increased unless you think for example the extra 300k this year are living on the streets, don't have kids that need education and aren't getting sick.

With the momentum that was building up before the murder, I think leave may have taken it. With the murder, and the two day pause in campaigning which stalled the leave campaign, but didn't stop people like Cam still trying to capitalise on it like the scumbag he is, I now think the vote will be to remain.
I have money on a high % turnout, so whatever way you vote, make sure you do! It's for democracy innit

About half of the GDP growth we've seen since 2010 is attributable to immigration. That GDP growth has enabled a higher tax base, and the higher tax base has meant more money to spend on services. Yes, our services are creaking but that's because we have Tory/LibDem and now Tory governments that have been recklessly slashing their funding not because of extra immigration. Immigration, in fact, is helping limit the extent of those cuts by providing extra money to the exchequer.

If you vote no, no more cheap PS4 games for me?

 

[George Hincapie]

If only it was only going to be a few months..

The forums will be a blood bath one way or another, immediately following the vote verdict. Hope the Mods are on standby.

I think a list of who voted which way would be useful as well so if there is any grumbling in future, those individuals can be told 'well you voted for it'.

 

[Tunney]

Great work by UKIP's Hemel Hempstead branch. EU = end of the Queen!

Remember to RTM posts that you feel cross the line.

Like that's ever stopped an argument before.

 

[George Hincapie]

We have just been told during a pod briefing at work that bookies view the result as being a 75% vote for Remain.

I don't accept that it is going to be anything like that clear cut.

Personally, I am struggling with it. I still don't know for sure which way I'll vote; gloating and retard arguments from both sides has pushed me one way then another and the clock is ticking

I agree. Quite a few voters might only make their minds up on this (complex) issue on the day, and there do seem a lot of uncertain voters.

My guess is that remain will win. I think remain will probably poll something like 54-55%. So a clear, but not overwhelming win for remain. It will be far from enough to save Cameron's neck: I think he's toast.

Can that not be reported to the Electoral Commission or someone? Surely that can't be legal?

75% for remain?

In what universe would it be possible that it gets more voteshare now than it did in the first Referendum...

This is me.

I think I'm gonna abstain as I just don't feel I can form a concrete opinion either way.

Not just the forums but I think there will be unfinished business whichever way it goes if the result is tight.

I would personally prefer a leave vote however I am very mindful that probably around 50% of people want to stay.

That bothers me as we are hardly going to be united whatever happens.

I think it's probably referring to the odds of Reamin winning rather than referendum results, essentially that Remain would win 3 our of 4 times if it were repeated.

So are you going to vote? If so, how will you make your mind up? In the voting booth?

That sounds better.
