Yeah I think after the GE we're all taking the polling with a big pinch of salt right now..
Easier to predict a national poll over a constituency based election.

Anyone else get a text message from EE today?

I'm not with them, so no.... What did it say?
"Good news. On 30th April, the standard rates to use your phone abroad in the EU dropped by 65% due to new EU Regulation. [link to URL]"
Will put this here as well.
Well the Pro EU side could have done their biggest fuck up yet. They think the voters on the fence will be persuaded by Teresa May and are keen to push her as the face of the stay campaign.
Yes while spouting her hate for the ECHR in virtually the same sentence...
We wouldn't be leaving the ECHR anyway, would we? That's not an EU thing - Russia and Turkey are signatories.
Yea it has nothing to do with the EU, I seem to recall it being one of the basic membership requirements though.

It seems referenda really bring the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach to the fore. How many people in the UK even know who Marine Le Pen is?

Lords Report para 50 said:"The long-term ghastliness of the legal complications is almost unimaginable"
The House of Lords EU Committee has today published their report on the process of withdrawing from the European Union.
It's a short report, and intended for debate rather than to be definitive, but as usual for Lords Committees it is very pointed. To give a tiny flavour (from the evidence of Sir David Edward, former Judge of the ECJ):
This is largely why I will be voting to remain. Regardless of whether the grass on the other side is greener or not, the fence in between is tall, spiky and electrified - and also opaque so we can't tell whether there is even any grass there - and also overhanging so there is no way back.
Well, the thing is the fence is only going to get higher and spikier, and...more...electrified, as time goes on.
What I mean is, we're only going to get more entrenched. At the moment we have pretty much all the instruments of a proper country, i.e. our own currency, armed forces, control of our borders, etc. But the ultimate aim of the EU is to merge those with those of other countries. That's why I think this isn't the time for complacency - and I'll admit that the status quo is a pretty sweet gig for the UK - it's basically time to say do we want an EU superstate or not. Because if we stay, that's where this is heading. Personally, I'd rather retain some autonomy.
Admittedly, I'm posting this before reading the report to which you link. I will try and read it at some point.

Trump has come out for Brexit.

Says it all really.
Am I the only one who thinks a federal EU superstate wouldn't be so bad?

So I hear Cameron is saying that if we leave there will be a European war, lol.

And yet he was willing to campaign for Leave, right up until February when he did his little negotiation?
How reckless!
He wrote two articles about planes.
One of the things he negotiated was a line that says "pls no war", obviously.
EUREF JUSTIFIED.
Remember at the election last year Channel 4 had the real-time-esque Ballot Monkeys, from the duo behind Drop the Dead Donkey/Outnumbered and loads of other great shows? They're doing it again - Power Monkeys, six episode series following the ref and also the US election.
Channel 4 are also doing:
- A debate the day before hosted by Paxo. No interviewees announced.
- Eurotrash special (yes, no really)
- Henning Wein comedy series

Just like the vote on AV, the EU vote really shows how little the political class think of the public. Truly pathetic stuff from Cameron.

Yup between this and Osbourne saying house prices will go down if we leave, it's like they *want* to lose the vote.He's made himself look a complete and utter tit. It's so ridiculous it is to the point of being laughable. I mean, dodgy Treasury forecasts was one thing, shipping Obama over another, but saying Europe will descend into war if the UK leaves is comical. Just ask Crimea how much a united EU helps against an expansionist Russia anyway.
