Where are all these people who want to leave the EU?

There are only around 60,000 signatories to a petition on the Downing Street web-site calling for the UK's exit from the European Union. (100,000 signatures are required for an e-petition to be considered by the House of Commons.) Considering the welter of hostile comment about the EU and the euro currency there has been over the last three years, that is a poor turn-out. The petition closes in ten days.

It looks as if the plain people of Britain realise that they are better off in than out, and are not swayed by the massive propaganda by interests with motives far from pure patriotism.
