The tories are utterly split on the thing, so I'm hoping that they'll blame each other (rather than the electorate). "You should never have campaigned for..." And maybe there will be a change(s) to our own profoundly undemocratic system. Appointed Peers, hereditary Lords, hereditary Head of State, ridiculous election system, boundary changes based on known highly inaccurate data...Maybe whichever way it ends up some sorting out of the UK system will ensue. Possibly even a reason to vote Leave ? That's partly why I think I'll end up voting leave , I'm not remotely bothered about Immigration , the economy will sort itself its kinda what economies do , despite Gordon Brown claiming otherwise .... if we vote remain we just get more of the same with politicians whose very instincts are leave telling us we should vote remain and more and more of the same general apathy that goes on in this country ... Leave might just show that we aren't prepared to just sit there and grumble without doing anything about it , Europe this year , maybe House of Lords next year ..who knows Regardless of the outcome I agree with you , I think the Tory party is going to be fighting for some time yet ... Johnson will split them , Osborne will split them , May interestingly is keeping a low profile in all this and is probably calculating that she can be the one to unify them , but Snoopers charter has hopefully made her unelectable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen hardly any evidence to suggest we will be better off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chindie Posted June 14, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2016 'Make Britain Great Again' is one of those nonsense phrases that is completely empty and lacks any thought, but people lap it up. When did Britain stop being Great? What exactly does being Great entail? How does leaving actually enable Greatness? Makes you want to tear your hair out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 That shitrag The Sun has come out in favour of 'Leave;. I'd say that's it then, far too many mindless zombies live by the Sun's word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If leave wins, how long before (i) the scots leg it? (ii) will the welsh also get antsy, and (iii) wonder what this means for NI/RoI longer term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a case of waiting for the picture of a 'remain' campaigner eating a bacon sarnie in a funny way and we are all ****. I'm worried now. I thought 'out' were making a lot of noise, about not a lot and I just assumed the public wouldn't follow, especially after Farage's shocking show on the TV debate. Squeaky bum time.
