| Polls swing to Leave as The Sun calls on readers to back Brexit |
| Dans un éditorial de première page, sous le titre « Beleave in Britain » , jeu de mots sur « croyez en la Grande Bretagne », le journall The Sun explique que rester dans l’Union serait une catastrophe en matière d’immigration, en matière d ’emploi, de salaires et de qualité de la vie.
En dehords de l’Union, la GB serait plus riche, plus sure et plus libre de forger son proprs destin; tandis qu’à l’intérieur est serait submergée par un état fédéral dominé par les allemands. C’est exactement ce que nous écririons si nous étions journaliste ou dirigeant du Sun. et ce serait valable pour la France: Croyez en la France libre et indépendante, non alignée, non serve ». In a front page editorial under the headline “BeLeave in Britain”, The Sun urges its readers to back Brexit and argues that staying in the EU would be “worse for immigration, worse for jobs, worse for wages and worse for our way of life.” It said that outside the EU, the UK could become “richer, safer and free” to forge its own destiny, while inside it would be engulfed by a “relentlessly expanding German-dominated federal state.”
An online YouGov poll for The Times puts Leave on 46%, up three points since the end of last week. Remain is on 39%, down three – giving Brexit its largest lead since the start of the campaign. ICM online and phone polls for The Guardian yesterday gave the Brexit campaign a six-point lead, with Leave on 53% and Remain on 47%. An ORB poll for The Daily Telegraph put Remain on 49% and Leave on 44%, with Remain down three points and Leave up four. On the news of the polls, the pound fell by more than a cent to $1.4128 and the euro/sterling one-month implied volatility, a measure based on the cost of insurance options taken to protect investors against movement in the pound over the next month, jumped to a record high. Meanwhile, a letter in The Times today, signed by more than 50 former presidents and chairmen of royal medical colleges, argues “From the billions of pounds of medical research funding, to the over 100,000 EU citizens who do vital work in our health system, being in Europe keeps our NHS stronger.” In an open letter to The Daily Mirror, twelve trade union general secretaries say leaving the EU would be “a disaster” for jobs, workers’ rights and the NHS. Writing in The Times, Leave campaigners Gisela Stuart and Andrea Leadsom urge voters to ignore “the scares about a bonfire of employment regulations” and argue that “All of the EU legislation we have accepted since Tony Blair took us into the social chapter has been incorporated into UK law and will remain in place if we vote to leave. Any decision to simplify or change any of those laws would need voters’ consent.” Source: The Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Times 2, The Times 3, The Daily Mirror: Balls, The Sun: Leader, The Daily Telegraph: Crosby, The Daily Telegraph: Lamont, The Times Red Box: Benn, The Times: Stuart and Leadsom

New poll finds Europeans say countries should focus on their own problemsMore than half of Britons (52%) believe the UK should deal with its own problems and leave other countries to deal with theirs, according to a new Pew Research Centre poll of ten EU countries. 54% said that Britain should follow its national interests, “even when its allies strongly disagree.” The authors of the report commented, “Many British voice a wariness of global engagement that belies the UK’s history as a major player on the world stage.” France and Italy both take an even more isolationist view, however, with 60% and 67% respectively saying their countries should deal with its own problems and leave others to deal with theirs. Conversely, 70% of Germans said that “global engagement is good.” Apart from Germany and Poland, voters in all EU states surveyed said their influence in the world is decreasing. Meanwhile, the research also shows that most Europeans see Russia as a “minor” threat compared to Islamic State (IS) or the refugee crisis. |
