Well, the actual question is not (as Mike implies) which are the issues of maximum concern, but "What do you see as the most important issues facing Britain today?".david_herdson said:You do wonder to what extent these lists follow the news and how much they drive them.
Clearly, by almost any standard the EU is an important issue facing Britain today, in a sense in which it wasn't when there was no referendum in the offing. I'm not sure that this tells us much one way or the other, TBH.0 -

The coroner has rejected a request by the parents of Elliott Johnson to consider wider allegations of bullying by Tory party members during the inquest into his suicide. The wider allegations were described by the coroner as “very remote to the death of the deceased”, adding: “I will not allow the inquest to be used as a tool for putting anyone on trial”. A major development…

Well in reality it is far more important than the General Election, but people won't see it that way - especially those for "Remain".Danny565 said:The media has been banging on about it everyday for the past 2 weeks, constantly saying it's "the most important decision of our lifetimes"....and yet it only ranks 4th?

Ummm, and more paragraphs like this one.
The process by which the ideas that fuelled the Corbyn leadership catch light across the wide electorate is not a passive one. Like the anti-austerity movement that provided the backdrop for Corbyn’s rise, this next challenge will have to be another gear-shift in the pace and level of activity on the left: it will require a large new activist base to grow still further, and to push the narratives and ideas of the new left into communities and spaces where radical ideas are seldom heard. Those who cut their teeth on the unstoppable wave of optimism of the summer of 2015 must begin the gruelling low-level ground war for 2020, and a myriad of defensive social struggles in between.

But, to be honest, we've tended to focus more on the prime/super-prime (but not oligarch-led) segment of the market than lower so my insight is more limited0 -

So I take it we are assuming the EU membership has nothing to do with immigration, schools, health, housing or the economy then..... again.
Its rather like asking people why they ran out their house, "because I couldn't breathe", "because of the smoke", "because it was too hot"... you see no one cares that their house is on fire.0 -

“Concern” about the EU is by no means the same thing as being in favour of Leave. Plenty of people are “concerned”....... i.e. think it’s a cuurently important issue ....... but by no means are they all Leavers.

I was surprised Goldsmith came out for Leave. This will not help his chances in the mayoral race as London must be pretty solid for Remain.
I don't expect Corbyn to be challenged this year whatever the May election results - people will want to concentrate on the EU ref. And after that the May results will have been largely forgotten. But that does not mean that Corbyn is safe until 2020.0 -

Meanwhile, the Conservatives continue to demonstrate their supposedly "compassionate" "one nation" credentials.
A friend in the mental health support group I go to, who suffers from diagnosed clinical depression, had serious suicidal feelings six months ago, and on a typical day suffers anxiety serious enough that he often can't even go to the shop down the road, has been declared fit for work and will be denied sickness benefits with immediate effect.

Why is it a problem? The whole idea of a deposit is that if they walk away then they lose out and you keep the deposit and resell 100% of it to somebody new. That some parts of the world is struggling is nothing new but if the overseas buyers walk away then either locals or other overseas buyers can step in.watford30 said:

The result is that prices are marked down by significantly more than value of the deposit, so the developers get burnt.
(I think @watford30's point, though, was the fact that Chinese buyers - in particular - are walking away from high five/six figure sums is a sign of potential difficulties in their markets)0 -
And today's asylum seeker violent crime report...
A 19-year-old migrant has died after being stabbed in the throat during a brawl at a Swedish refugee hostel.
Police say they are still investigating the motive for the killing but have arrested three suspects, all of whom are also asylum seekers.
