EU Referendum

[ColchesterFC]

Those socio-economic groups are also less likely to find their jobs in jeopardy in the event of a vote to leave.

Do you mean the A, B and C1 are less likely or the C2, D and E?

The A, B and C1 are far less likely to suffer the detrimental effects upon the economy and certainly will not be among the first to face redundancy in the event of a Leave vote.

So C2, D and E voters choosing to vote Leave are a bit like turkeys voting for Xmas then?

IMO yes if job and financial security is the determining factor.

I want out. Mrs Mogs wants out too. We are not stupid, or uneducated. Mrs mogs in particular has 3 degrees, and two diplomas. She is also very financially aware. There is no voting for the status quo. Change is coming, in or out. It's about how much control do you want. I for one don't want to be controlled by the eastern block, and 70 million turks. The EU is not what we joined. That was the common market, and that made sense. The monster that is the EU does not.

I want out as well it's time to take back control of our laws and borders.

This referendum was a badly judged attempt to quieten the Tories xenophobes on Europe and get around Boris. Big stupid mistake, and that is why Cameron is done win, lose or draw.

The graphic posted yesterday shows that the poorly educated want out and the well educated want to stay. Says it all.

Thats you on the out side then

The well educated getting desperate

And as you suggest it's an opinion and not fact. IMO Leaving will open trade Worldwide and create more job opportunities, linking that with the lower levels of immigration; labour will be a scarcer resource that will push up job salaries, especially for the C2, D and E socio-economic groups.

'Call me Dave' thinks we are so much better off in the EU but what was the slippery fellow saying to us a little while ago|

Some interesting figures on EU motions that were opposed by the majority of UK MEPs that were still passed by the EU. Makes the claims that it is better to stay in and reform the EU from inside seem a bit weak if we are opposing so many motions that still get passed.......

That's democracy for you! What are these figures like for the other member states? Pretty similar I'd bet.

Yes, but "degrees aren't a sign of intelligence per se."

What about a Certificate for swimming a width?

I'll get me coat!

As long as you don't swim the channel.

In that case no one gets what they want.

Rubbish. In the words of the song.... you can't ALWAYS get what you want. Seems we all get it pretty often though.

This is the same nonsense the SNP keep pedalling for Scottish independence.

No, not at all. He called it for entirely self-serving reasons, but that doesn't change the importance of the right decision, to stay.

You could be right in the long term but who will suffer the pain in the short to medium term?

Less likely to be those of us who are comfortable enough to be golf club members and the like.
