Oh crap. Now you and Huge have done it.

It's about time either actually did something.

T i m will be along soon
declaring that only non-dumb people didn't vote or spoiled their papers.


"Ok electorate. We (a tiny minority) want you to answer a poll on
something (that should really only be advisory) that most of you have
no real opinions on or previously hadn't really thought about and
where we have no way of promising you will get any of what you vote
for, even if you actually knew what you were voting for yourselves. We
will consider it a true reflection of the will of the people no matter
how many people actually vote and one more vote on one side will be
counted as a win.

So, do you want to leave the EU? Yes / No."

(Farrige: "And if remain don't get at least 2/3rds of the votes I'll
not count it as a win. If we get one more vote than remain I will).

Yeah, that sounds like something dreamed up by someone looking out for
the best for 'the people' ... not.

It was something dreamed up and manipulated (referendum polls are non
binding in the UK) by a minority of people on a crusade and tricked
people into thinking they had to answer an analogue question with a
binary answer.

As a straight poll, that would have been ok:

"Would you like us to LOOK INTO the UK leaving the EU". Yes / No.

Cheers, T i m

p.s. It was all ok for you 'Dick' because as a left brainer you *can*
give a binary answer to an analogue question and you will be convinced
you have sufficient information to do so ... that it *is* going to be
the best for you (at least) and that there is no risk (that *you*
aren't willing to take).
