Cyclone Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I have asked dozens of people how they will vote . Only three have said remain, all the folk I asked are from a working class area except the three remains who are from the better of area . I think it may be a class or wealth lead vote. There's a graph that shows this, I'll see if i can find it. ---------- Post added 23-06-2016 at 15:29 ---------- Found it, not on the original source though https://i.redditmedia.com/AXgeIwxj6uzs3BUtXqprO7BuXNEU5WrVsISOA0qmmCc.jpg?w=600& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFrank Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Terrorism is a worry of mine. I think we are at risk with open borders. The next attack won't be far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 From the FT apparently. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/32414e3e-2804-11e6-8b18-91555f2f4fde.html#axzz4CPfuhT6r ---------- Post added 23-06-2016 at 15:33 ---------- Terrorism is a worry of mine.

And leaving the EU would somehow stop people entering the country if they wished us harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swiss and Norway have freedom of movement - it will be a condition of any post-brexit agreement with the EU bloc. ---------- Post added 23-06-2016 at 15:41 ---------- Off to vote later after work. Will be voting in. There's been an interesting development in the household. Mrs I1L2T3 is voting in a UK poll for the first time ever. She's a citizen of another EU country and since moving here she has refused to vote in any elections. UK politics is just not done the same as on the continent and she's never felt engaged. She thinks it's nonsense and our politicians are idiots. Pleased to report that today she has been to cast her vote, and has voted to stay. It's the first political issue she's actually felt strongly about since living here. All my family are voting remain. one or two friends are brexit and the rest remain, and business friends are split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrider Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Borders will be open if we leave. The swiss and Norway have freedom of movement - it will be a condition of any post-brexit agreement with the EU bloc. Isn't one aim of brexiters to stop immigration? I'm not sure they would want to sign up to freedom of movement, at least in principle. In practice they have to agree to something if they want some kind of access to the single market though?

horribleblob Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I've voted at two polling stations today – once for me and once as a proxy for a holidaying relative. It was good to see the number of young people voting as it'll be them who are going to have to deal with the long-term consequences of today's vote.

I1L2T3 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 she probably shouldn't have been able to vote then depending on the country she from (unless she became a British citizen). http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/649517/EU-referendum-2016-Voting-Voters-Allowed-British-Irish-Commonwealth-Citizens-European Commonweath country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
