Re: "Remain" supporters - spot the running theme

Sorry to continue to digress from the topic but perhaps there is a lesson for all of us in this tragedy. I find myself in total agreement with this opinion in the Telegraph this morning.

Do you think her death will push the "stay" vote over the line?

It is often events like this that can make a difference to a close result. (I asked this question elsewhere but was ignored there too).

Hi Bruce if some people feel the murder of Joe Cox was politically motivated then yes I think that could have an adverse affect on the leave vote.

Re: "Remain" supporters - spot the running theme

So you don't believe any are looking at the greater good of remaining e.g sharing of information, ideas, adoption of legislation that happens to benefit us? Just old-fashioned greed.
