Why would any people that desires self determination want to be part of an oppressive and unrepresentative club like the EU?

Honestly, I cant tell, imo support for leaving has grown greatly and thanks to issues like refugees is gathering pace, but you can never be sure.

All the pundits are flapping their gums, forgetting how spectacularly wrong they were with the GE last year.

Because they are dumbed down by the social events of what they see and hear! TV and Goosesteppers that promote the agenda!

Peter Hitchens wrote in his column that a NO vote on the referendum will be ignored anyway with the politicians-Cameron or his replacement if Cameron resigns just coming back to the voters until they get the ‘right answer’ from them on the EU.

Not in Scotland. Farage made a tit of himself by attacking the Barnett Formula. He comes across as a bit of an English nationalist.
