Britain's Mail on Sunday backs 'Remain' in EU referendum - Polidicks

[url]http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-newspaper-idUKKCN0Z40TS[/url] [quote]Britain's right-leaning Mail on Sunday newspaper has endorsed the campaign to remain in the European Union, its deputy news editor said on Saturday. The newspaper, which shares Sunday market leadership with the Sun on Sunday, will say: "For a safer, freer, more prosperous - and yes, an even Greater Britain: why we urge you to vote Remain", David Rose said in a message on Twitter.[/quote] Bit odd - the Daily Mail has backed Leave.

Who's leading in the polls lately?

Make Britain great again! It's crazy how close this looks but I have a feeling it's going to be a sweep for one side

It will be a tight race according to the latest poll. The "In" for now is leading. [URL="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-polls-idUSKCN0Z40SC"]http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-polls-idUSKCN0Z40SC[/URL]

I'm having a hard time believing that the 'leave' side is actually maybe going to win. When I first heard of Brexit (Which is a retarded name for it, but I digress), I thought it was just one of those 'feel-good' votes that sometimes go down. You know, just to make the leave-side shut their dumb asses up about how the EU is ruining Britain, and to definitively prove that the majority wants to stay. The fact that leave is a very real possibility at this point baffles me.

I'm crossing my fingers regarding the theory about people changing their minds at the last minute. Perhaps they're realising that they don't want to be 'heroes' and sacrifice a few years of personal financial troubles for what they see as an eventual benefit to the country, which we cannot predict. Selfishness may actually save our skins.

I have a very hard time believing it's not rigged. We will remain, regardless of whether the people decide to or not.

[QUOTE=ph:lxyz;50546359]I have a very hard time believing it's not rigged.

I did this in 2015 and it was pretty cool.

[QUOTE=Sableye;50546184]There's always a bit of an incumbent bias in these things though like people who make up their mind to stay and keep quiet and people who are undecided until they arrive at the polls[/QUOTE] actually the opposite way around with referendums, there is almost always a very late swing towards the incumbent position which is too late to be picked up by polling

Eh, I guess all the support helps.

I doubt the UK will leave, the government has learned from the Scottish referendum; specifically by not allowing people to think on it too long.

Good, we need all the support we can get. I'm worried for the implications on society if a vote to leave goes through, considering a majority of the argument for leaving has been 'teh immigrunts'

Just read a pretty good article about how GB only started to change its horrific horrific environmental laws once it joined the EU.

I'm worried about what the future will hold if we leave. I know people say this during every vote but if we vote to leave, I'm leaving the UK. We have 2 years of free movement if we leave and I'll be taking advantage of them.

It is completely logically incoherent and people just haven't thought it through (ie. they're not actually going to leave or are not very clever). What are you even going to do there? Barely anyone can speak a foreign language properly in England, where are you even going to go??

Just to clarify; is this poll binding in some way? I haven't been following this very closely.

I am SO curious to see what happens with Brexit. I fully support a sovereign and independent Britian!

[QUOTE=BioWaster;50548821]I am SO curious to see what happens with Brexit.

Possible rise in crime due to weaker cross-border law enforcement. Quite likely a new Scotland independence vote so they have a chance to stay in the union that matters, at least. But hey, at least those damn immigrants would stop coming, right? Right, guys?

[QUOTE=BioWaster;50548860]We'll see buddy.[/QUOTE] You're right; I might be wrong. It probably won't majorly affect immigration in any way.

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;50548800]Just to clarify; is this poll binding in some way?

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;50548800]Just to clarify; is this poll binding in some way? I haven't been following this very closely.[/QUOTE] Its not legally binding (I don't think any referendum in the UK has been), but the idea of parliament disregarding the people kinda ludicrous.

Before the EU referendum vote thread is pruned... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ivLbT5n.png[/IMG] The only currently banned users to have voted chose remain... coincidence? The only moderator to vote who is voting in the Referendum is voting to leave. However, both sides have the support of one moderator.
