 Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2016 11:30 pm Post subject: Official ESLCafe Brexit Poll |
 |
|
Feel free to post, but I think it's only right that only people allowed to vote for real do so here. If that's unfair, feel free to set up your own poll for people ineligible to vote.
To be eligible for the big boys' election, you must be*:
- British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens over 18, resident in UK
- UK citizens living overseas for less than 15 years
- Of sound mind
* As I started the poll, I can see who votes. |

What's going on in this thread?
Shouldn't the destructions read: - UK citizens living overseas for fewer than 15 years?  |

I know scotty has voted for NO, and has started his NO campaign in Scotland. But, like Alex Salmond, he will not succeed to persuade the Scots to opt out from the EU.  |

Gregory is as deluded as his Namesake Pope Gregory was. Scot47 is tending to a REMAIN vote with caveats about how the EU has treated Greece and its aims to expand ever eastward.
The EU provides us with some protection from the Old Etonians who rule at Westminster. This is particularly true of Employment Rights. Boris and his pals like IDS want the workforce to be reduced to the status of serfs.
On the fate of those named Gregory, take note -

Can I vote I vote in your poll? At the moment I have 11 consecutive years of foreign residence (in an EU country). I´m not sure if I´m of sound mind but have never been treated. Since the poll is official I don´t want to take risks. |

It's good to ask first. Are you a UK, Irish or commonwealth citizen. If yes, vote.
It's not that I've anything against North Americans, but they make up a huge percentage of this site's membership and would invalidate the poll. Some lazy journalist will see this thread and next thing we'll have the headline 74% OF TEACHERS WANT OUT. So please play nicely. I already had to remove one vote from an ineligible and unnamed member. |

| I voted to leave but I am really 50/50. The pitch from the pro-EU campaign focuses too much on the crazy consequences that would happen if we did pull out, but in reality I am sure everything would be smoothed over, especially in the two-year grace period. |

No scotty, our Gregory is not Gregory V, it is Gregory the Great, who converted Southern England and evangelized them.
Gregory the Great, was inspired by the sight of some young English slaves whom he saw in Rome. Amazed by their fair hair, he asked who they were, and being told they were Angles, replied “Not Angles, but angels.”
https://www.christianhistoryinstitute.org/study/module/gregory-the-great-evangelizes-england/
Gregory the Great addressed the unbelievers nation of England at that time:
"This barbarous, fierce and unbelieving nation.” - Gregory the Great (ca. 540-604) Sends Augustine to Evangelize England.
We need a modern Gregory to make the UK more European! |

That is but one conjecture. Another is the angle of a hook and a reliance on fishing. Another is the coincidence of the dialect of Angles (Mercian) and Angelos and Mercurius, cognates of the Greek and Latin, respectively-- messengers. |
