A new Survation poll shows support for leaving at 51% and support for staying at 49%. This is the first time since November of 2014 that they have found a lead for the Out campaign.

Not sure what to make of this poll - although Survation were the most pro-UKIP pollster (showing UKIP on a higher % during the election campaign), so it could be due to that.

I think we need more pollsters showing the same to confirm the pattern though.

Still a very long way to go...

Small businesses split over the referendum in a recent survey. 47% of FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) members say they'd vote to stay, while 41% say they'd vote to leave.

The FSB isn't exactly reflective of most small businesses.

Is it as representative of small businesses as the CBI is of larger ones?

I suppose it depends on how you define 'small business' but if anything even less so.

In my opinion, great news, UK can get out of this neo-liberal, undemocratic, austerity filth.

I don't know whether you've noticed it, but if anything, it's the UK that has been the reactionary force inside the EU.

That's all to do with sharing a currency with other countries and being heavily in debt at the same time. If you go into such a currency you lose all national economic sovereignty. Pretty much akin to being in a financial straightjacket.

The obsession with creating a federal European superstate and the economic and democratic deficits that that inevitably entails (and the low growth and economic hardship that countries suffer along the way) is the reason I want the UK to leave the EU.

Not that I think for one moment the out campaign will win the upcoming referendum... at least this time round anyway.

As much as the EU sucks as an institution, personally I don't see the appeal of putting at risk the bulk of our high end manufacturing sector due to annoyance over the prohibition of bendy bananas or whatever.

Corbyn makes it clear - he wants to stay in the EU.

I agree with you on that, and yes I get that UK is one of the reactionary, horrible forces in the EU, and that the UK should get out of it as quickly as we can.

Mostly British governments just sit on the sidelines and gripe about money.

I find it funny that in France, we would be at the same time cheering to the UK leaving the EU and jealous that they were able to do so.

It's also funny that it's the French political class above everyone else who have pushed the goal of a federal European superstate the hardest.

The Euro came into being with Germany as a part of the Eurozone mainly due to a deal between the two nation's governments whereby the French would agree to allow East and West Germany to unify so long as the Germans agreed to adopt the Euro.

YouGov/The Times: "Leave" leads 41% to 38%.

Is it reasonable to assume that Cameron will resign if Britain votes to leave?

The old rule with referendum polls is that you just look at the 'yes' figure. Not that people are even vaguely tuned into the debate yet. Or are even properly aware that there will be a vote.

Is their a poll by party, is their any left-wingers, or even centrist or center-right people against the EU. I think it need left-wingers, and some labor voters, a sizable amount of conservatives as well at the UKIP + other eurosceptic voters for this referendums. Shame there isn't an eurosceptic left in the UK, and across most EU countries.

I meant to say they aren't as sizeable as right-wing populists eurosepctics and most of them are communists,which I mostly wouldn't vote for.

From a few weeks back, but there's a case to be made that the city of London will benefit long-term from a Brexit:
