What actually happened is that the lazy expat windbags didn't bother to notify the electoral authorities that they wanted to be on the electoral register. It's the voters responsibility to register, not the governments responsibility to chase them. If people like Piwi are too stupid to keep their details up to date, their responsibility, then they shoud shut the fuck up about issues they have deliberately chosen to have no influence over.
The post here is non existent, I often get my monthly true TV magazine a month late ,and my monthly bill for my true TV and Computer hardly ever arrives so much so that I pay 12 months in advance to save being cut off, I have had it out with Jan a few times to go and complain to the PO at Prakonchai , but you know what they are like :) it was my birthday May 4th, all my kids sent me a card plus my 3 sisters sent a joint one , I got them June 2!!!Quote:

Bollox. Registration is online and so is the postal voting form. It's got nothing to do with postal delivery times to Thailand as there's no reason for you to receive anything through the post.Quote:

DrB0b, you are talking bollix. I received my card a week or so ago. It took 16 days to arrive. It came via Holland. I shall have great pleasure tomorrow in posting a picture of my Poll Card with my Thai address clearly printed on it.:UK:Quote:

From an observing point of view, we are by and large making assessments/arguments based on the media, with it's inherent prejudices for either side, with a healthy sprinkling of sensationalist reporting.
Many also have friends/relatives in the UK who have strong opinions.
On a personal level, I'm disqualified from voting having not lived in the UK for the past 22 years, and as such even if I could vote, I'd choose not to as whatever the outcome is the affect on me personally will be minimal.
That said, if I were to vote, it would be for 'Leave', and that having spent 10 happy years in Spain before coming here 9 years ago.
Who are you going to show your card to when you vote? You do know that as long as you're on the electoral register no card is actually required? The card just shows your entry on the register and if you're registered a card is automatically sent to your registered addreds before every election/referendum you're entitled to vote in. A polling card is not required to vote (that's normally plainly stated in the card itself), being registered is.Quote:

Doubt that the logistics of us TD members voting is going.to impact significantly in the referendum. Maybe better sticking to the issues at hand on either side?
David Cameron more than once said ' he wanted Great Britain to remain.
Not the UK, :confused:
Said this last night.
could not be bothered to watch it, looked today to see who won, only to find out it wasn't a debate at all , just the too answering audience questions .Quote:
Nigel Farage Vs. David Cameron In Brexit ‘Debate’
Cameron was too chicken for that.
computer went down for 2 hours so they extend the registration for 2 days..Quote:
EU vote registration deadline extended
in other words its extended so more young , pro European voters can get their lazy asses to register.Quote:
According to the government's data website, 525,000 people applied to register to vote during the day - 170,000 were aged 25 to 34, 132,000 under the age of 25 and 100,000 aged 35 to 44.
the whole thing stinks .
As does why the government hasn't come out and proposed plans how to best deal with an exit , even if they disagree with it .
Why? Discussing the issues and then not voting is nothing more than masturbation. It's a vote. Voting is what it's about.Quote:

I can't show my card to vote cuz I'm here. Yes I know I don't have to show the card. But why send it to me at my Thai address when knowing that I no longer reside there. Why not just send a 'postal vote' application?Quote:

Britain like them or not are far more than an "average nation". This argument about Britain being the same as any old nation with the same population is nonsense. They've a massive economy, a permanent seat on the UNSC (one of only five countries in the world) and nuclear weapons.
They're still a very powerful country. I'll be the first to argue about the behaviour of Britain when it comes to historical issues in Ireland, though let's not pretend they're comparable to any of the other EU28.. whatever. That might grate with some people but the odds of Britain standing a lot longer into the future than the EU are certainly favourable.
.....Plus i do think it's inevitable Ireland may have to ‘review’ its EU membership if Britain leaves.
Prag, Have you never heard the phrase "pissing in the wind" .:rofl:Quote:

Issue is the amont of money (taxes) Germans paid to support other EU members, whether real or perceived.Quote:

How is EU referendum polling affected by registration surge? | The Week UK
Bookies have slashed the odds as well, 11/4 now for a brexit
http://uk.businessinsider.com/most-g...-remain-2016-6
The bookies are shrewd bastards , 11/4 seems big odds when most of the polls say the voters are in favour of out , I wonder why ?
Theres a few ways of looking at it,
The polls might be way off because people are ashamed to admit they are cowards who will vote to stay in and the bookies realize this
or
The bookies just set the initial odds, then change them as money is placed, to attract bets and ensure they win money whatever happens.
Perhaps many punters realize that while the real odds are 50 -50 , in reality the government is going to be fix the result ,
in which case 3, 4 or even 100 to one is still throwing your money away, so they aint betting, and the odds go up .
After the General Election polling debacle it hardly seems worth paying any attention to polls.
R U polling in or out, Bobby.......?
I, along with several colleagues in Germany, received my voting slip this week and have sent it off. One of the guys sent it but then couldn't remember which box he had marked...the rest say they voted the same as me, that is, to remain in the EU. So for those of you that have never known a person to vote to be in the EU, you do now.
The reason is simple, putting aside all personal issues with current work, leaving the EU is IMO a lose-lose situation for both the UK and the EU. It does not mean that there should not be changes, which I think every Country within the EU is aware, but problems should be dealt with from inside rather than simply giving up and splitting up.
On a personal level, I have decided to leave my work in Europe and return to the UK, which is where my loyalty remains. The mixture of square-heads and dagoes has been too much for one lifetime...
