Brexit for anarchists

It's just a shorthand for saying your not a right wing headbanger and have a different anti-EU story to tell.
It's being used more frequently by Vote Leave who have detected the xenophobia isn't going well with undecided voters. Peter Lilley has a gite in France
Don't know about that—they seem to be doubling down on the xenophobia to me. It's basically all immigration now; anything else is tangential.

+ re-inventing the football pools for post referendum data mining.

Meanwhile, their foot soldiers haven't been able to resupply for over a week. (quite glad in a damage limitation sort of way)

You'll probably be proved right in the coming weeks. Vote Leave originally shunted Farage and UKIP aside as they have the anti-immigrant vote in the bag and will just put wavering voters off to continue with the issue. But Vote Leave are not playing well with undecided voters including their key demographic of Tory pensioners. Polling evidence on turnout is showing a higher than expected interest among younger demographics. I don't see where Vote Leave can go except targeting traditionally low turnout D and E social groups with immigration fears.
 
What do you mean by "pro European"?

Do you mean that you're for a European super-state (which would be a strange position for any anarchist)?

Do you mean that you're emotionally, intellectually and culturally-supportive of the people of other nation-states in Europe?

Do you mean that you support "Remain", and want to slip David Cameron some tongue?

Or do you mean something different entirely?

I think we should be told! ;)
Well, what I mean is that I would vote to stay, but the prospect of removing layers if government, which is generally wasteful and/or corupt, means I think i'll vote leave.

Am I right?

If you regard all government as corrupt then why not stick it to the man. Promises from small government anti-statists like Ian Duncan-Smith and Dan Hannan that they will create a more decent egalitarian society after Brexit are good enough for me.

I could be wrong, I could be right,
I could stay put, I could take flight.
 
I'm abstain which is basically a personal choice so therefore a liberal decision. But both outcomes involve mandating something shit. And joining people you don't agree with mandating something shit.
Anarchist position is to pretend it isn't happening I think.
