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

[Andrew_McP]

I'm a wishy-washy Liberal pro-European at heart and think Europe has had a civilising influence on our working lives in particular. But I think (most) Brits are fundamentally bad Europeans, thanks to island mentality, so the project will be better off without us sitting on the sidelines pretending to be part of the gang.

If, in the process of leaving, we manage to slow the mass migration which has changed much of the country so quickly, that would probably be a good thing, reducing tensions and frustrations which do concern me. Integration takes time, and I'm not sure we're particularly good at that either.

The thing which is causing me a problem is that one of the biggest advocates for the Leave campaign is Rupert Murdoch, and while Jimmy Carr may, quite rightly, be cool with the notion of crawling on his hands and knees over broken glass to orally pleasure the last man who had sexual congress with Rachael Riley, I'd be notionally happy to do something similar for the man who punched Murdoch in the face.

So I find myself in something of a quandary. You judge a man by the company he keeps, and if Murdoch wants something my instinctive reaction is to run the other way after many, many years of watching him influencing British politics.

Mind you, Blair wants us to stay in, and I despise him too... just not as much as Murdoch. Decisions, decisions. This is definitely the toughest choice I've had to make in the voting booth.

The reason for geo blocking is not the streaming providers being petty, it is all to do with what countries they can acquire the rights to stream the content in. Resolving this for the entire EU is a much bigger problem. This fix is likely to remove content from countries which have better access to the content (i.e. the UK).

However I'm not defending either side on this part and the rest of your reply was irrelevant nonsense not to do with the issue in hand. Over regulation.

After support for the EU from most economists, business leaders, world leaders and scientists, the artists now join the same side.

Let me guess, they are out of touch, overpaid traitors?

profiting?

 

[Glaucus]

it is very much to do with it, but you just ignored it again, why?
is it because you know full well that the awnser you would have to give, goes against your free market approach. just like democracy doesn't mean direct democracy, free trade does not mean they can do as they please with no restrictions.

or do you hate the idea of Annual leave, breaks, companies paying tax.

if you're so for free market, then lets see yousay its fine for companies to pay zero tax, or for you to give up working rights etc, that you hate the eu restricting roaming charges.


it isn't in the slightest over regulation, born by the fact that most already voluntarily meet requiems.

Any support from anyone who isn't rich or in industries funded by the EU?

The entertainment industry is right over to the left and actors or famous people with opposing opinions get dragged through the mud instantaneously, you won't get a lot of them going against the grain. They'd have to be too big to fail or close to retirement to be able to say what they really think.

 

[Tefal]

kinda simple concept, profiting.

ie the uk being in the EU opens up for them markets, or opertunities by which they can gain financially.

although if you take somones political advice purely because their a famous actor then that's a bit worrying.

Especially when you see their reasons

After describing the UK as “a tiny little cloud-bolted, rainy corner of sort-of Europe, a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island,” she added: “I feel European even though I live in Great Britain, and in Scotland.”

“So of course I’m going to vote to stay in Europe

but then again Michael Caine says votes out, so now do i have to decide who is better cumberbatch or cain so i can decide who to follow?

Some regulation is good, particularly in areas where it is essential to protect workers from exploitation NMW, minimum AL entitlements. Some business regulation is good, such as banking due to the impact if it does fail. The online entertainment industry propping up poor regional broadcasts to meet a quota is not an example of this. Over regulation in the EU is a cancer and I'm sorry we don't see eye to eye on this particular issue and I don't think there is any more mileage in me replying on this topic.

Remain: 44.98%
Leave: 55.02%

Can OP add the poll counts for each poll so we can see if there is a change in number voting?

Whilst the second poll shows a closer poll, the number of people voting was less than the first and thrid, so I wonder if there is a bigger chance that the vote may sway Leave because the Remain gang are too lazy to vote?

The point was the support for the EU from everyone who is anyone, whether they are actors, economists or scientists, is overwhelming. Michael Caine is an exception.

But hey, they are all in for the profits. Nice logic there by the way, everyone who disagrees with me does so due to special financial interests. It would be outrageous to assume that these people expressed their stance based on a logical intrepretation of the facts.

I find this funny, eu regulations for the most part are sensible.
whilst the UK over regulates stuff. just look at housing rights in uk compared to eu. eu has the more sensible and less restrict laws. same in many areas, not only is uk implamented stuff more strict it often results in less rights for consumers, workers, public.

you keep saying propping up poor stuff, can you stop with that utter nonses, they are already meeting the standard out of choice, so no it cant be poor or worthless as they are freely doing it now. it just means any new to the market ones have to follow suit and provide stuff people actually want.

Where's all the tradespeople, home makers and emergency services for EU etc?

where's all of these people supporting the out campaign?#these people aren't on such things from either side as they are famous, experts etc.
