I have 2 degrees and will be voting out. My office has a very high proportion of degrees and all are voting out. The only people that have said they want to remain aren't British and so can't vote anyway. I have yet to meet a single person that is eligible to vote and wants to remain.

Lots of degree educated people in my team at work are leaning out. Those leaning in are the minority. I wouldn't want to extrapolate and assume though.

A lot of older people with property in Europe or that holiday regularly may decide to vote In. Who knows?

And for interest, what are their main reasons for wanting to vote out?

On the other hand, IDS wants us to vote out. Choose your poison I guess.

As someone that works for a living, I pretty much need the opposite of IDS's ideology.

Do we?

I have never met any British person who has called themselves "European" or considers themselves such.

Both of you don't meet criteria though. Neither of you is young or youth, Tefal from what I remember is "unionist" anti devolutionary Welsh ;) and deuse is (of course) BNP voter.

This referendum should have nothing to do with the current generation of politicians. The consequences of this vote will have a massive effect of Britain's future whatever the outcome, certainly long after every member of current cabinet has left the House of Commons.

If you look at the politicians, and what they do is want to do, you can get an idea of what things could well be like post brexit.

Exactly - that's because we the British electorate voted them in (unfortunately). If you look at the politicians in Brussels, and what they do and want to do, you can get an idea of what things could well be like post brin - only difference is that no voter in Britain voted for Jean-Claude Juncker or his party.

We vote for our MEPs who then decide for us on matters like who the president is, that's democracy. It's been explained her a few times already.

No Britain voted for Cameron to be PM, no Britain voted for any of the cabinet positions, yet they are filled.

Actually the European Parliament can only nominate a candidate for President of the European Commission, that candidate has to be approved by the European Council (i.e. the 28 leaders of member states). The fact that no UK political party feels it can align itself with the largest political group in the European Parliament speaks volumes for how different British views on Europe are from the rest of the EU.

I also think you'll find that more British voters voted for Cameron's party than for any other party, no-one disputes that Cameron shouldn't be PM.
 
ITT: people who don't understand statistics.

Just because you've never seen a black swan doesn't mean that don't exist.

Honest question here.

What do you think IDS ideology is?

I remember him well during his period as Conservative party leader and he seemed a decent if doomed sort of guy. He then spent a good number of years setting up the Centre For Social Justice and seems to have a genuine desire to lift people out of poverty and is looking for the tools to do so. He strikes me as amongst the most genuinely compassionate politicians out there.
 
An interesting read...

A sober economic analysis shows that Brexit is best

The following comment left did bring a smile...

Hello,

My name is David Cameron and my aim is to destroy Britain as you know and love it.

That is why I have admitted 650,000 newcomers and 65,000 asylum seekers in the last 12 months alone and I have made it easy for illegals to enter the country and remain forever. I will of course repeat this policy this year and every year during my premiership.

Up and down the country, I am told that my plans are working perfectly as people find they are becoming 'Strangers Where They Live' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new... and I am delighted my Defence Minister, Michael Fallon, has told me that our towns and cities are being enrichingly 'swamped with immigrants' http://www.theguardian.com/uk-...

As the 'Heir to Blair', I am proud to be continuing the pro immigration policies adopted by my close friends in the Labour Party and to be able to develop such ideas to extinguish 'Britishness' wherever it may be found. That is why I have abolished many of the planning rules in order to build huge anonymous new towns and cities in what was the unnecessary and socially divisive English countryside http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

I will soon be holding the long awaited confirmation of my views and opinions that Britain should remain an EU member forever and I will personally ensure that the Remain campaign is full of lies and propaganda to obtain the highly desirable Remain outcome, thereby wiping the floor with a blonde haired mop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

As you will understand from the foregoing, I am extremely excited about the forthcoming abolition of Britain and 'Britishness' by the enrichers and by my friends in the European Union who have assured me that a new name has already been decided for these very small inconsequential islands..

Consequently, to further the re-writing of British history and the destruction of British traditions, they have chosen 'EU Sector North West' which must now be written below your postcode or your mail will no longer be delivered.

God Save The President of the EU Commission. Rule Jean Claude Juncker.

Yours sincerely

David Cameron

Governor General EU NW - Designate.

Especially the signing off along with the "EU Sector North West" reference when addressing mail :p
