'Leave' 10 points ahead in ORB poll on Britain's EU referendum (any British Freepers out there?)

The "Leave" camp was 10 points ahead of "Remain" with less than two weeks to go before Britain's referendum on whether to stay in the European Union, according to a poll by ORB for The Independent newspaper published on Friday.

It was the biggest lead enjoyed by those wanting Britain to quit the 28-member bloc since the poll series started a year ago, The Independent said.

Britons will vote on June 23 on whether to leave the world's largest free trading area, a decision with far-reaching implications for politics, the economy, trade, defence and migration in Britain and the rest of the EU.

The official Vote Leave campaign said on Twitter: "We don't believe the ORB online poll, our data suggests it's closer to 50-50." It gave no further details, and the campaign could not immediately be reached for further comment.

ORB's online survey of 2,000 people, conducted on June 8-9, suggested that "Leave" was on 55 percent, versus 45 percent for "Remain".

The data was weighted to take account of how likely to vote people said they were. Those surveyed were not given the option of answering "don't know".

The fix is in. The UK will not leave the EU, one way or the other.

I guess Obama’s telling them to stay in was the kiss of death.

The real killer will be the enabling act to actually set all the terms and conditions. That will be some difficult legislation.

Those NATO costs go way up if Hillary and Victoria Nuland manage to get their war with Russia.

I heard Nigel cleaned Cameron’s clock at the debate a few days ago.

America would be better off with Britain in the EU, as a counterweight to Germany. Britain, however, would be much better off out of the EU, and in an alliance with a Trump-led US. A Brexit vote is therefore a vote on the come for a Trump-led US, because if it passes but Hillary becomes President, the crumbling US/UK relationship will crumble even further—not that this would matter, because the US after Hillary will not be the US.

The queen is on the throne way to long. Hemorrhoid thought processes.

Better than upperclass twit of the year Chuck. Inbreeding you know.

Thanks I enjoyed the blog. I must say that I see the use of the government agencies to obstruct justice is to further the socialist take over of our property and our lives. Trump will annihilate their goals and objectives. Obama is anything is a doctrinaire one world socialist. He is horrified at the thought of Trump appointing an attorney general that will actually prosecute treason.

BREXIT will fail.

There would need to be a period of negotiations and consultation.
But sounds good to me. :)
