You must be incredibly young, orson, not to have lived through a referendum. The last referendum was only 3 or 4 years ago, on electoral reform.
Anyway, you’re not old enough to vote, but for those who are, you go into the big house with people and boxes in it, go into a booth and put your X against Yes or No. Don’t smudge Then place the ballot paper in the box on the table. Ask one of the nice ladies or gentlement at the table which box, if you’re not sure.
This post sums up why young people don’t vote. Patronizing drivel in response to a reasonable question.
and your repsonse indicates a total misunderstanding of name-changers like cosy.
I am very keen on young people voting, though. Most of them want to remain in the eu, after all, and they’re not bamboozled by the right-wing hysteria being whipped up. Quite the opposite.
So, SHR, I hope you throw your weight behind gettng them to vote.
As long as the out voters aren’t put off by the scaremongering by the stay brigade
a lot of scare-mongering and obfuscation by both sides. It’s not just one.
I am trying to avoid abuse submerging a reasoned argument, and allowing time for people to read posts rather than send a mass of replies.
A bit stupid in this debate, hey?

It is also laughable that the most inept right wing tory chancellor in living memory is behind most of them. A man who has failed to meet a single ‘self imposed’ financial target.
The neoliberal EU experiment is doomed to failure, sooner rather than later. Increasing public debt, throughout member states without a strong manufacturing base, alongside enforced austerity which is suffocating those economies, will cause that failure.
Long term economic growth is non existent, will remain non existent and so can’t be invested in a sustainable long term high tech manufacturing base, in those countries.
TTIP and CETA and TTP, corporate capitalism, are also doomed to failure as more and more member states indicate they will veto those trade deals and the German dominated EU which is reliant on those secretly negotiated deals is rapidly running out of other options.
Ask yourself, what does the capitalist EU economic model, beset by bureaucracy and cronyism, which the educated middle class have utilized solely for their advantage, does for you and your family.
If you are poor, sick or disabled, unemployed, in low paid work or ZHC work, etc (working class) then the EU doesn’t give a toss about you. tbh Im not bothered who wins,I only started the thread because I read martins blog and he said the first 5 noobs that start a thread win a prize.

Neither does the UK government voting leave wont alter anything, in fact i’d wager there won’t be the option to work a max of 48 hrs a week for instance

I don’t usually agree with Pete, but I’m with him 100% on this.
BB made a more substantive argument, dressed up in thuggish language as it was

The … UK electorate, will decide… not the EU… The bigger picture… If you vote Tory… For now… While they hide behind the EU… If you vote Tory you get what you deserve, that’s democracy.
The bigger picture… As Tory (neoliberal) policy effects more, the more likely the voting system in UK will change… To be more inclusive…
To represent all of us….
