"Poll: Brits want to leave EU"

From the BBC Daily Politics:

1. The current economic crisis has made me more likely to support Britain joining the Euro: Agree- 31%, Disagree- 64%

2. Britain benefits overall from membership of the European Union in terms of jobs and trade: Agree- 44%, Disagree- 51%

3. Britain should leave the EU but maintain close trading links: Agree- 55%, Disagree- 41%

4. The British people should decide in a vote before Britain transfers any further power to the European Union: Agree- 84%, Disagree- 13%


I'm surprised that the BBC didn't skew their questions a bit more to get the 'right' answers and even more surprised that they published the results without adding the usual wailing about what an undereducated and xenophobic lot we Brits are.

They'll just use it as an excuse to "re-educate" us to the EUSSRs charms.

They don't need to get the right answers the first time. just repeat them at a later date.
Like with Ireland.

How many British political parties are offering the electorate a say on Europe!?!

Surprising numbers, although polls like these are always hard to believe. Don't really see why the Brits wouldn't want to join the Euro, but oh well, I guess 64% know better than me.

Take care, Elli
