Brexit

I added a proper poll

Yes, anybody can create a poll. On the new topic page there is a tab where you can add polls.

Why remain Eggy?! Have you caught a bad case of "let's all hold hands and make Europe a better place"? That only works if you are on the Euro Gravy Train, and that particular service doesn't run through the North East and never will.

I think I know my own mind somewhat better than you and I assure you that I have no interest one way or the other should Britain choose to stay or go. I do not have a vote because I have not lived in the UK for more than 15 years. In some ways I'm happy not to have a vote. I don't think I could choose. As I said previously, there are advantages and disadvantages which ever way it goes - it's six of one and two threes of the other for me. Like you, I'm not happy with how things are dealt with in Brussels. Unlike you, I think there are more ways than one to deal with the problem. You seem to think that you can guess the political persuasion of everone judging by the newspapers they read. It doesn't work that way I'm afraid. I cannot say that I have any particular political persusion. When it's time to vote, I seek information, often from several sources, From that information, my personal situation at the time, the state of the UK, the state of Europe (or the state of my county if the vote is here). Based on that information I make my decision on how to vote. I find my persuasion changes as i get older. This means that at times, I have voted Labour, at times I have voted Conservative, at times I have voted Liberal and everything else in between. Very often I place a blank ballot paper in the box. I do this when I don't think any of the parties have anything to offer. Unfortunately, that is becoming increasingly often! I think it's important that they know there are dissatisfied voters.
