Current Affairs EU In or Out

[BlueToff]

The Conservatives on the leave side will demand a scapegoat and I get the feeling Osbourne will be the sacrifice offered.

good, they're all horrid, horrid people

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Every single one of them has signed a letter saying Cameron has a mandate to stay as leader

Conservative back benchers are hardly a loyal bunch. All it would take is one opportunist to change his mind, and decide he wants to be leader.

Too late for the poll, but I voted in.

 

[BlueToff]

All depends what way the EU goes now. Any further transfer of sovereignty and I'd be a definite vote leave next time.

It's a dangerous, dangerous entity mate. It may have started with the best intentions, and there are certainly benefits but - bar the single market, which we could still have access to (if not full) due to a massive sell-to-buy surplus in Europe's favour - these aren't benefits that any ELECTED gov would risk changing.

Waste of time voting coz the hokey cokey wins everytime

 

[ToffeeTim]

The reason I voted out was pure gut feeling, but all along I was sickened by the scare tactics used to target my generation (teens through to late 20s/early 30s I suppose), who have never known anything better.

And then add that to a load of snobbish students who believe that because they've paid £30,000.00 to get a 2:1 (the equivalent of a 'B'), they are able to laugh at anybody else who disagrees with their opinions - sickens me.

At the end of the day, I'm not sure too much would have changed either way. We may now never know but I'm glad I at least used this probable once in a lifetime vote to request change rather than stay in the mire.

Student politics is tedious drivel. Cannot stand these people who stay at university for about 4 years after they finish their degree to be student politicians where their only contribution to society, whilst pocketing more money than a graduate in a first job earns, is to suggest we all need new carpets in the SU.

The count has finished in Sunderland, and the verdict is :

100% sad virgins running around.

I never went to Uni. If i'd needed to, I would have. Fortunately I've managed to get where i wanted to be (and more) through some hard graft and yes, a bit of luck at being in the right place at the right time.

I'm not painting them all with the same brush - all my mates are/have been/will be students. But the nonsense they spout on a regular basis annoys me. It's one of the reasons I could never have gone - I have no intention to meet a load of self-righteous tosspots, but, I digress...

I think that there's pros and cons to the EU - leaving or staying in. I think had this been a hypothetical vote to join, then we wouldn't chose to do so given the current climate.

However, I think the 'fear of the unknown' in general and the fact that people on the whole don't like change is what (looks to have) swayed the undecided to vote to remain - which was more than likely always going to be the case. As with any vote, people who held their beliefs either way will have decided ages ago what they were going to go for.

There isn't a next time, this was a one shot deal.

I went to uni and fully agree, there's far too many pompous, tosh talking tits there!!

I voted in myself even though I can see the reasons for people being out. Done a lot of research today before I went to vote and I went with what i thought was right for me

 

[ToffeeTim]

Again as I said above, and for the reasons I've said above, I don't necessarily agree.

Wasn't sure how to vote at the beginning of the day, but now my gut tells me it's a missed opportunity.

 

[jal123]

Whatever the result, as long as you're secure in what you voted for you've done all you can.

That's fine by me mate - good on you!

Nothing wrong at all with people who can see both sides of the argument. I trusted my gut feeling, as I've said, and stuck with that. Just don't like the thought of where the EU is 'potentially' heading - not in terms of a dictatorship etc but more in general, as an accumulation of all the current issues.

But, that may not happen, of course, and we may be better off staying in.

One thing this should at least trigger is a huge public outcry for whomever is in government to push these changes.

At least we had footy manager and the racing to distract us from them!
