Simple NSC EU poll

[Blackadder]

Moved back now Blackadder , I think may be for a while yet ! I admit it was easy for me to live out there for business purposes but then so it was for many manufacturing companies from the UK looking for cheap property and labour and in turn other UK companies coming over to supply these companies .

I will get round to changing my name !

Fair enough.

 

[Footsoldier]

People don't give a stuff about that, if they did then UKIP wouldn't be a force.

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Sadly for you, one cannot choose. You're either in economically and politically or you're out.

I am optimistic within a few years we can renegotiate with Euroscepticism growing.

Maybe they're all just not keen on foreigners? Just speculating.

That's going to come as a shock to my Catalan girlfriend.

I want out of the EU for sure but I'd rather take a cheesegrater to my balls than vote UKIP.

 

[Two Professors]

I voted to join the Common Market,not a European Union.If I'd known then how much the EU would cost us financially and politically,I'd have said 'on your bike'.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Very left wing point of view...there again unions only look at what benefits them and not the country. How do those benefits shown stack up against a fee of over £55m a day and a massive trade imbalance where we import more from Europe than we export to them.

Not voted on this poll as it doesn't fit how I stand.

If serious re negotiating happens to my/our satisfaction I would vote in.

If we get nothing new and EU carries on with dodgy accounts, no proper immigration controls etc. I would vote out.

Have to see how land lies in 2017. In the meantime will cast my protest vote tomorrow.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

In.

 

[Beach Hut]

If we leave I will be jobless in my view.

I concur with this. If I were voting tomorrow, it would be Conservative.

But on the plus side you would be able to get a job labouring on a building site to tide you over.

Could you kindly list some of these reasons please?

A question away from the EU poll - Would you prefer someone who doesn't speak your language in another country to make your laws and rules, or someone local?

Because I am well aware of the background and history of the EU, the visionaries who founded the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation (or whatever it was called) fairly soon after the end of the second world war, the fact that part of the idea was to prevent further wars in Europe, because when I was a young man and a student I had enormous respect for a number of European politicians, many of them German (People like Willy Brandt), because having worked on occasion with Europeans from France and Germany in particular, but from other parts as well, I personally feel that we have more in common with them than with other English-speaking peoples on the Planet, and because I am a born co-operator.

I realise that the EU is far from Perfect, but I would rather be in it seeking to put it right, than out of it. Whatever Mr Farage says, I think if we left Europe we would become largely irrelevant to the rest of Europe.

And as for your final question, a mixture of the two. We have had numerous governments over the last 35 years with which I would feel completely at odds, and with the current fashion to rail against Human Rights legislation, workplace legislation that comes out of Europe and so on, I would favour the humane European approach over the callous bar stewards that we currently have in power who through their dangerous ignorance dismiss so many huge parts of our population as losers and then seem to do what they can to make their position even worse.

Rant Over. I am going to vote.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Very much this.

Is basic protection for working people a 'very left wing' concept? I thought it was a common-sense approach. What's your right wing alternative?
I'm guessing you're all in favour of nurses being made to work more than 48 hours a week, bus drivers working 15 hour shifts, sick people shuffling in to work as they can't afford to be ill, and only women who can afford not to work having babies?

"unions only look at what benefits them and not the country". Wrong; unions look after their members, everyday working people from all walks of life. If you think the country would be better off withouth basic protection for employees, you are even dafter than you sound. The only people who would benefit would be the employers ripping off their employees. It would be a return to 18th and early 19th century working conditions, but that's OK with you because protection for workers is left wing.

Epic bellendery.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

As i post the poll is running about 3:1 in favour of remaining in the EU. I have to admit I thought it would be closer. Guess it must be that the UKIPers just shout the loudest.

 

[BarnhamBlue]

It's IN for me! If we exit, i'm more than likely to lose my job!!!!

Superb post. As I pointed out on one of the many UKIP threads, Farrage wants to roll back virtually every piece of employment legislation we have. Yet people are still willing to vote for UKIP as a 'protest'. If they ever get their way you will really have something to protest about.

Thank you. Farage is to the right of Thatcher on many issues; it's genuinely rather worrying. Having said that, UKIP are the ultimate one-trick pony and I suspect that this election will see them at the apex of their popularity with a long decline to follow. Let's hope so anyway.
