Matt Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Every now and then we post the biggest issues which are not necessarily football related onto the main page, we think this is one of those issues. This poll has anonymous voting. https://fullfact.org/europe/ Full Fact is factchecking the EU referendum. Ahead of the vote on 23 June, we have started putting together a collection of impartial answers covering things like the membership fee, EU immigration and the number of laws “made in Brussels”. Whichever side you end up on, get the facts. https://fullfact.org/europe/ The Government's EU referendum leaflet: what we know so far Next week every household in the country will receive a leaflet from the government setting out its case for why it thinks the UK should remain an EU member. We’ve picked out a few of the claims made in the leaflet for a brief round-up of what we know about them so far. We’ll be checking more claims from this leaflet and from the leaflet produced by Vote Leave in the coming days. https://fullfact.org/europe/governments-eu-referendum-leaflet-what-we-know-so-far/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Shocking how little clarity there is from either camp so far. More shocking is how long we've been in the EU and how little we understand. Or they let/want us to understand. I'm undecided but must admit what the Leave campaigners say does seem to have a bit more meat on it's bones (whether I agree or not) whereas most of what the Stay campaigners say seems like gobbledygook designed to do nothing other than hoodwink us. Usually leaving me thinking "what did any of that actually mean?". I'll be surprised if I'm swayed to vote to stay but I'd love to know why I should. Problem is they don't seem to want me to......

daniel Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I literally have no idea about any of this, i did the quiz on the above link and it said vote to leave. For anyone who knows about this how would it affect every day life if we left? And what are the benefits to us if we were to leave the EU? Just interested to read peoples views.

Latics_Fanatic Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm undecided but leaning out at the moment... However, I don't have much of a clue and finding the fact within the fiction is a hard job to do... Being a third-year Politics undergraduate, I really should be more clued up...

Nothing is stopping Cameron and his mates doing the same for the steel industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 In or out and everybody will have their own views and opinions. However it is wrong that the government should be able to spend £mills of tax payers money on the stay in campaign. Should be equal amounts!!

NewBlue Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Neither side has convinced me. As per, bollocks arguments which you can disect in seconds to be blatant hyperextensions of the truth. Therefore undecided, and doubt I'll have clarity before the ballot. Usually would be pro-EU but their own obscurity as an organisation has cast doubt, especially with its future unmapped and unpredictable. Will probably go with gut on the day.

But the big problem in the steel industry is over production in china and the strong pound which has hit exports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I've voted out because of the bloody immigrants, coming over 'ere taking our jobs. I want to be able to do my job inadequately, safe in the knowledge there isn't someone to step into my shoes who can do it better without being able to speak the language.

It's a change in political philosophy really. Skip a few thousand years from the Big Bang. People elect their members of parliament. The leader of largest group forms the government. One person in this government is responsible for foreign policy. The responsibility for UK foreign policy is now in the hands of the British public. One person, one vote. I've always hated the democratic deficit in the EU. From Thatcher to Cameron, none has ever said in an election manifesto: if I win, we're staying. I'm voting in this time. But that won't cure the consent deficit the EU desperately needs to resolve before it can truly be a thing worth keeping permanently.

mcfluff1985 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The in campaign seem to think one of their best arguments is the effect leaving COULD have on Premier League players. Not being funny but as soon as I saw they were attempting to use that I laughed. I can imagine the meeting over that one. "Right gents. Those working class scumbags are all wanting to leave. They don't understand economics and such. How can we relate to them" "Tell them Ngolo Kante wouldn't be able to play in the prem. That'll get them voting in" I'll personally be voting out. Many, many reasons why. Nothing from the in campaign has actually come across as factual to me. All scaremongering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The government can help the steel industry (currently are, sort of, a bit). They just won't nationalise it..... They dont have to nationalise it to actually save it and run it. This Government just cannot be bothered with it as it doesnt really suit their political interests. It always amazes me that this so called elite (of both major parties) dont have the brains to find the ways round these restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm voting very much to stay inRegardless of the other arguments, any line about science/farms/trams anything else spending being cut is false. The UK gives money to other countries for these things, not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
