United Kingdom Referendum on European Union Membership

[Zanas]

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.

Doesn't a lot of the SW use a lot of EU funds?

Yes. In particular Cornwall benefits from the EUs gerrymandered definition of 'poor area' to rake in mucho Euro...

Since when must the income of EU funds not correlate with eurosceptic feeling?...

Trump has endorsed Brexit. That alone should be reason enough for every decent person to vote to stay.

Very clever of Trump.  He is trying wrap himself up with a certain part of the Margaret Thatcher legacy.   

I don't think Trump has any idea who Margaret Thatcher is.

The vote's date should be put in the thread's title for easier visibility.

Horrible sh**t, they seem to pile up nastily these days...

Regardless of the potential effects of this act, I still say Remain will somewhat comfortably win, à la Scottish independence referendum. People just aren't that adventurous to begin with.

I would rather enjoy a Leave victory however. Being a French CGT member, wreaking havoc has kind of been my thing lately...

I haven't seen anything pointing to a Brexit win at this point, when you factor in how a referendum actually works.

[Zanas]

Remain 54.5 %
Leave 45.5 %

Turnout : 63.5 %

Yes, I am snob like that.

Yes, if you take every poll from January and add 7 pts to the Leave score in each one, Leave was always in the lead. Moving on.
