Following on from a TV programme I watched last night and the introduction of the new poll facility I thought it was time for a PH EU referendum. Now I know the demographic here isn't exactly representative, but I thought it would be interesting to see the numbers.

So, yay or nay, you decide biggrin

Would just nuke the EU offices in Belgium and Strasbourg. They've done nothing for this country except fleece us. Bunch of useless feckwits the lot of them.

Good example of a loaded poll though. If it was just YES/NO/UNDECIDED, I could vote on it. The bits after YES/NO could be entirely interchangeable.

I have absolutely no understanding of the issues and associated er, stuff.

Everytime I try to negotiate the idiot guides to EU rammifications, I keep thinking about air hostesses wrestling police women, and how I would rammificate them.

If I'd wanted a truly representative poll I wouldn't have picked PH for a start wink

The words don't really matter, it is a straight yes/no/unsure vote. I've never seen a poll in favour yet wherever I've looked, I was just interested to see the strength of the anti vote.

You missed out on many options... so I can't vote on your narrow choice of answers.
The EEC was a great idea...trading advantages, simplified customs etc good for everyone but the planned U.S.E. is USEless!!!
There is absolutely no need to have another level of bloodsucking bottomfeeders sponging off us and making useless laws which nobody wants or needs.
Most of the EU think this way and that's why the majority of countries have not given their population the right to vote on the EU.
The EU is a gravy train for useless unwanted politicians and other such scum....

a USE is NO USE!!

I voted pro, just out of principal and just to be different.

IMO 90% of opinion on this is forged by the Daily Mail and Daliy Express anyway.

I really wanted to answer yes and no. The EU has certainly imporved many lives in the UK but undoubtably it is also somewhat of a gravytrain.
