As part of our polling, we dig further and ask for feedback from those participating in our survey. The feedback posted below is typical of many we have received in making the case for Brexit. Please note most of the feedback has been from the pro-Brexit side and we welcome the case being made for Remain as well.

I am definitely voting out and have supported UKIP for a long time.The trouble with the UK is that the common working man/woman has been under attack from many fronts for many years. These are the people paying taxes on earnings from the private sector. We had a massive public sector workforce doing irrelevant jobs with high salaries and generous pensions.
At the other end we had lazy, feral indigenous scroungers milking the benefit system. In 2004 the Eastern European countries joined the EU and this opened up the floodgates to cheap labour. Every Hotel, Warehouse, Farm and low skilled Factory was soon full of smiling, willing East Europeans. UK bosses loved this as it kept wages down.
This was seen as good for the economy initially but what has happened now is these people have settled and started families. The pressure on public services is immense with Schools and Hospitals under severe financial strain coping with these extra people. There is also wide spread resentment that they seem to get priority for social housing over UK citizens. They are also very good at claiming in work benefits ie fiddling the system.
I have nothing against European people but too many have now arrived in the UK. The potential for many more coming from countries such as Turkey, etc is just not acceptable to people like myself so now is the time to break away and regain control of our borders. The EU is much like Communism in that the theory is not like the reality.
Everyone I know is voting "out" so no one can understand why the polls indicate a win for the "In" camp. Should the "In" side win then rest assured the Conservatives will not win the next General Election as most UKIP supporters voted for the Conservatives at the last election in a tactical voting move to ensure Labour didn't win. Hope this helps your understanding of the response
