Hi Cathy,
The relevant point being that those who give those as reasons believe them to be facts?

Hi Diane, by ‘facts’, do you mean the two lists? These are the top five reasons people gave for how they voted in the poll – they’re not facts, as such.

Hi Cathy,
Many thanks for your reply.I didn’t read the article I looked at the ‘facts’ given above which I think are diluted and not relevant to most people.I think it interesting that most older people want out.Perhaps they recognise a scam when they see it.We didn’t vote for a political totalitarian superstate,we voted for an economic market.We were swindled then and have been ever since!

Hi Diane, thanks for your comment. The £55m is mentioned in the article, along with a link to an independent source that works out money put in versus money spent in the UK. As for the rest of the ‘facts’, we can only report the results of the poll as they were given – feel free to download the data sheet (link in the last paragraph) to see the answers in full.
