Sauntered along to my local Residents Association meeting 6 weeks ago.
Outer north west London suburb. Average age: Retired.
The MP, Nick Hurd, (son of Douglas, fellow Bullingdon Club member with CallmeDave and Boris), had retired from Minister status to spend more time with his new wife, but was pulled back in as Minister for International development after Grant Shapps was caught lying one time too many. Main topic HS2, (Ruislip will be second most damaged residential area after Camden).
Audience only roused from docility when twice questions from the floor asked about the Referendum. Realised I was surrounded by Tories before I entered, didn't realise they were pretty much all petty minded proto-kipper brexitteers.

Greenhell nails it.
To break it down:
Parties in favour of remaining: Conservative (surprisingly, although membership split) Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, Plyd Cymru, SNP, SDLP, Alliance and Sinn Fein .
Parties in favour of leaving: UKIP, BNP, National Defence League, National Front, Britain First, Communist Party, TUV, the Democratic Unionist Party.
I just don't think the hard left or far right are going to make ANYTHING better for ANYONE.
Europe is far from perfect but it's a great safety net against a pack of awful cunts.
