A couple of weeks ago we sent off our postal vote for the European Referendum. Carolyn from the start was always OUT ! . While I was undecided . But in the end and after looking at all the facts I decided on out !!! The outcome will be very interesting …………
Happy Days
The problem will be that the "referendum" is merely an opinion pole ...there is no legal obligation for the government to DO anything about it... in fact, they can totally ignore the country's wishes and keep the status quo. What's worse, is that even IF they did actually do anything about it, the EU can vito our decision and force us to have another vote anyway... whatever happens, there's going to be some tough times ahead.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you mean the missus told you where to put your cross.
ReplyDeleteWell that's it Phil, just wait till we meet again. Lol. I'm the Captain on this boat ... I think. (not)
DeleteReally Gary? I'm so disappointed 😞
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame you feel like that ..I respect everyone's decision no matter what !!!!
DeleteEach to their own... LOL
DeleteI won't hold it against you because you've actually voted, just wish more people would do so. Not casting your vote is a far greater crime than voting for the opposite view to mine... if we all voted the same way just think how many politicians would become redundant! ROFLMAO
Sorry if I offended you, not my intention 😱
No problem Kevin, I totally agree about not casting a vote , maybe we could do as they do in Australia and several other countries ..
DeleteAustralia – Introduced in 1924.Compulsory for federal and state elections for citizens aged 18 and above. The requirement is for the person to enroll, attend a polling station and have their name marked off the electoral roll as attending, receive a ballot paper and take it to an individual voting booth, mark it, fold the ballot paper and place it in the ballot box. The act does not explicitly state that a choice must be made, it only states that the ballot paper be 'marked'. According to the act how a person marks the paper is completely up to the individual. In some states, local council elections are also compulsory. At the 2010 Tasmanian state election, with a turnout of 335,353 voters, about 6,000 people were fined $26 for not voting, and about 2,000 paid the fine. A postal vote is available for those for whom it is difficult to attend a polling station. Early, or pre-poll, voting at an early voting centre is also available for those who might find it difficult to get to a polling station on election day.
I'd vote for that 😉
DeleteNow let's see what happens, Should be interesting ...
