Current Affairs EU In or Out

I will say one thing though - very surprised at the choice of pencils only at the ballot. It's 2016 - you'd think there'd be a more fraud-proof method of voting.

Taking a permanent marker penlol

why? ive voted to leave.

To many to mention here, and I'm not sure that's even the point of this thread (it's been done many times in many of the other threads). It's quite possible me and the missus would emigrate if we voted to leave.

They're a bunch of self-interested twonks there to serve whatever the PM wants, as they climb the greasy pole to ministerhood, which paves the way for them into being highly paid business consultants after they're voted out.

It is the same every election though. Granted it may not have necessarily impacted the result but i know of a load of people over facebook and personally who didn't vote but 'didn't want conservatives'. as they say all glamrags no knickers. Happy to spout it over their social media but when it comes to walking down the road and ticking a box, they just don't bother.

Yes it's ok to enrol on the internet yet we still have this costly at equated system of a pencil in a box it's not even private as at local elections council or scan buy the results afterwards to see who voted for them!

Same! Are you having an affair with my Mrs?

Then she would be leaving then?

Who knows if that happens. Seen it mentioned a couple of times today on facebook so far from random people about taking a pen with them rather than use the pencil provided (hinting at something). SO you wouldn't be alone in thinking the votes are not completely private or safe as they say.

Seems extreme - and as unlikely as all the bankers leaving if the government actually made them play fairly.

That's me voting Leave then. One less cyclist on London's streets.

You might be in for a surprise there. On my travels today I heard a couple of people mention how they don't usually vote but have turned out for this.

How is this vote more important to people than voting for the party that actually leads the country? Just makes no sense to me. Especially as this vote doesn't necessarily mean that the outcome will happen!

Vote here

In!!!!!

Possibly because it could make the vote as to who leads the country more meaningful.

Don't trust our politicians. Certainly don't trust anyone else's.

All we get, anyway, is a choice of different shades of Toryism.

It's an "out" from me..........

No, they are absolute paranoid morons who think someone in the counting hall has got a rubber and will rub out their vote, but if it's in pen they can't.
Guarantee you spot anyone with a pen at the polling station they're a brexiter.

This time, your vote genuinely counts, as much as the next man. In the GE, a safe seat can make your protest vote as worthwhile as not voting at all.
