EU Referendum: a Google-assisted Poll

Brexiteers are very "shouty". You see the difference when Obama points out politely that the UK will stand at the back of the queue, Boris Johnson could have politely replied about how the UK might not need a quick deal but he didn't he replies by "frothing at the mouth" and throwing personal insults.

Perception bias. As someone on the other side, I perceive the Bremainers to be very shouty indeed. FFS, WWIII You can't get much more shouty than that. It's backfiring though

personal insults.

Also, anecdotally, witness the majority of Bremainers on CUK. Ad hominems abound.

A good argument, that the EU helps prevent conflict

...and this is how the Brexiteers will start a conflict once we leave the EU

The vast majority of people are either soft Bremainers or soft Brexiters, not at all shouty. What you see in online fora, and the national press, is the opposite of that.

The "in" voters I've met apart from a couple who are politically active are very quiet about their views. I had to drag it out of them.

Yes, they sound like poor timid souls, who wouldn't say boo to a goose, and who crave safety in numbers.

The sort who if they'd been on the Titanic would have stayed inside in the warm and ended up with their bones littering the bottom of the Atlantic ..

I don't think not wanting to stick your views in everyone else's face implies one is timid.
