BREXIT

[VNA]

    People were not screaming out for a referendum on the EU.



I was.

Would be interested to know what you did to try get a referendum.


While there were many people campaigning for a referendum, it wasn’t exactly a mass movement.  For those who cared in the general population few got past having a moan about it over a pint in the pub.



Indeed polls showed that most people had far more pressing concerns than leaving the EU.

The verdict

When pushed, 67 per cent of those polled by YouGov last month said they would rather have a referendum on Britain’s EU membership than not.

But they had to be pushed – because actually, they don’t really care. Take a closer look at the latest polls, and what you see is that a massive 97 per cent don’t consider the EU a big issue right now.

So, yup it always was, and always will be about the Tory party.

it doesn't matter about facts or figures on either side.

For me that’s what always counts.  I am certainly not in Michael Gove’s camp “I think that the people of this country have had enough of experts”


When the vast majority of economists are in agreement, and they are all stating clearly that leaving the EU will have a major negative impact on our economy, well I tend to pay attention.


Not to mention that 60 odd pages in, the foc u BREXITEERS, still really don’t have a clue why they want to leave – they just want to leave. :eek
