More U.K. Opinion Polls Indicate A Landlslide Win For Supporters Of brexit



Bloomberg: Brexit Camp Is Ahead in Fifth U.K. Opinion Poll in 24 Hours

* TNS survey finds 7-point lead for ‘Leave’ with nine days to go
* Axa CEO warns of ‘extremely high’ probability of Brexit

The campaign for Britain to leave the European Union led in a fifth opinion poll published over the past 24 hours, showing Prime Minister David Cameron is foundering in his efforts to persuade voters to reject a so-called Brexit. The pound fell to a two-month low.

The online survey of 2,497 adults carried out by TNS June 7-13 found 47 percent backing “Leave” and 40 percent for “Remain.” It comes after four phone and online surveys released Monday by ICM, YouGov Plc and ORB showed leads of between 1 point and 7 points.

WNU- maybe you've said it before buy what is your opinion? If you were a Brit, what do you imagine you'd want?

Good question Alex.
I saw what the break-up of the Soviet Union did to everyone .... it was not pretty.
I live in Quebec .... and I am against Quebec separatism.
I also warned against Scottish independence .... the cost would have been very high for them. Same thing for Catalonia in Spain .... but I do understand why some Catalonians want to separate.
But the EU .... now that is a different story. I am still open on this issue .... and I will state my own opinion on this issue a day before the vote.

The thing is,

The break-up of the USSR was bad for most but good for enough, inside and out, to get rammed through.

The break-up of Yugoslavia was "good" too. The same with Serbia.

South Sudan is an awesome little country to launder money in. For most of it's inhabitants, not so great.

Iraq and Syria will be "better off" broken up into little ethnic religious neoliberalstans.

So now it's the EU's turn. I'm sure they'll be fine. I mean, look at how well the "West"'s divorce lawyering has done for the others!!!!
