With Just A Couple Of Days To Go..

[Bigbad]

…If you were asked for advice by someone who is undecided how to vote on Thursday, in as few words as possible, what would you say?

[Bazile]

that's an interesting proposition stuey

Why bother faffing about , putting x's on bits of paper

[Bigbad]

No, Mamalynne, but I expect most people would offer advice based on their own beliefs.

[stuey]

Who is "in charge" of the other side anyway?

[Jackdaw33]

My advice would be in the form of song:
Rule, Britannia!

[ichkeria]

I'd echo the headline bit of today's otherwise bizarre Daily Telegraph pro-Leave leader: ie Choose Hope not Fear. Don't let fear of Europe, fear of migrant labour which sustains our NHS etc, bounce you into a decision which will cast us out of the mainstream for generations.
Stronger Together is a message of hope.

[Mamyalynne]

You asked for a few words, so maybe that is why some are simply saying one.

I would put the kettle on and we'd have a good talk, I would not instruct them.

[Jackdaw33]

"Stronger Together" is a message, not of hope but of abject surrender.

[Bigbad]

One word or a few words, it’s up to each person how many to use. There is no right or wrong answer to my question!

[murraymints]

OOT OOT OOT !

I am with Mamy here Bigbad...a nice chat !

But its a very difficult subject to talk about, because people tend to only want to talk about bent bananas and cucumbers. Someone here a few days ago was wittering on about kettles and pork chops....you know, the really important issues !

I am most likely to meet people where I live in Wales, and its my opinion that we have done well out of the EU membership. But I am not sure I would advise anybody at this stage in the proceedings.

I would ask them if they wanted their descendants to live in a largely Christian country that governed itself. If they replied yes, I would say you must vote Leave.If they replied no, I'd say vote Remain.

[anotheoldgit]

There is no way this can be said in few words.

If you don't wish to see the end to the standard of living we have been used to, competing for jobs, that the masses of immigrants are prepared to do for much less pay than your family can exist on, the demise of our NHS, and seeing your child's education suffer in schools where English speaking pupils are in the minority.

Then vote 'OUT'.

[Bertrum]

No if's no but's

[RandyMarsh]

shake it all about

[Khandro]

I'd ask them to take a look at this, 33,000 people are employed by the commission and it isn't easy to see what they are doing, a large amount of them are translating everything into every language, it's like something out of Kafka.

J.C. Juncker's basic salary alone is £245,629 and we don't know what his expenses look like, and they are demanding more taxpayers money.

[Khandro]

Actually, I've only just noticed in my own link, that of the 24 languages that every document is translated into, one of them is Irish!

[ToraToraTora]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhtt

[Bertrum]

We have been in the EU for over 40 years so we haven’t done much to shape it if all of a sudden it requires fundamental change (or have we)

[dannyk13]

Lynne, no giving advice leaves them with a choice as whether to accept the advice or not.
