brigust do you want to post the many more people who say Brexit would be a big mistake now? You won't have to search hard to find them. Or are you going to remain completely blinkered to any arguments that don't match your own?

Btw, James Dyson decided to move a load of British jobs to Malaysia about a decade ago. A real shining representative for the leave case there.

A vote to remain suggests that the voter believes the EU has actually been good for the people of Europe. Is this true?
Look at Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Look at their unemployment figures. The figures for the young are near 50%.
...And the Euro? Has this been a help or a hindrance? Strangely, we seem to be doing better outside the eurozone than those in it.

We've been in the EU for 43 years. Are we really better off in? Or are we actually PAYING for its over-bearing bureaucracy. PAYING for its
profligate spending.

Can the country continue to import a net 300,000+ Immigrants a year. Can we really house, feed, school and cover the medical costs of these
people and their children ad infinitum?


I'm Voting leave so that we can take back control.

mecce the undisputed concern of the majority is immigration;cut european legislature and that will then undoubtedly be then in our own hands.

and please dont quote swiss trade relation deals over immigration-it is not a comparison with our economy


Is that the same UK economy that has become successful within the EU chavman?

It isn't difficult to understand that an EU, committed to the principle of free movement, is not going to back down easily on that when negotiating a trade deal with a UK that will be more than desperate to do a deal of any kind.

It remains to be seen if immigration is the undisputed concern. When push comes to shove in these things the economy usually wins the day. If it doesn't this time the likelihood will be that people are going to wish they'd made it so in years to come.

I'll say again we've become one of the largest economies in the world whilst in the EU. Prior to us joining we'd been left behind by France and Germany. Precisely why we did join in the first place actually because a reliance on bilateral and Commonwealth trade deals just wasn't cutting it anymore. On current progress we are likely to become the biggest economy in Europe in the next decade or so.

And leavers want to risk all that to return to the days of trade deals that had failed. Oh and for people who keep proclaiming we can "take back control", just about every tory on both sides is very much in favour of TTIP, a deal currently being held back by the likes of France. You think we have a loss of sovereignty now? Just wait till a tory government starts negotiating deals like that.

What is TTIP? And six reasons why the answer should scare you

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a series of trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US. As a bi-lateral trade agreement, TTIP is about reducing the regulatory barriers to trade for big business, things like food safety law, environmental legislation, banking regulations and the sovereign powers of individual nations. It is, as John Hilary, Executive Director of campaign group War on Want, said: “An assault on European and US societies by transnational corporations.”

Since before TTIP negotiations began last February, the process has been secretive and undemocratic. This secrecy is on-going, with nearly all information on negotiations coming from leaked documents and Freedom of Information requests.

1 The NHS


Public services, especially the NHS, are in the firing line. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europe’s public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS.

2 Food and environmental safety


TTIP’s ‘regulatory convergence’ agenda will seek to bring EU standards on food safety and the environment closer to those of the US. But US regulations are much less strict, with 70 per cent of all processed foods sold in US supermarkets now containing genetically modified ingredients. By contrast, the EU allows virtually no GM foods.

3 Banking regulations

TTIP cuts both ways. The UK, under the influence of the all-powerful City of London, is thought to be seeking a loosening of US banking regulations. America’s financial rules are tougher than ours. They were put into place after the financial crisis to directly curb the powers of bankers and avoid a similar crisis happening again. TTIP, it is feared, will remove those restrictions, effectively handing all those powers back to the bankers.

4 Privacy

Remember ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement)? It was thrown out by a massive majority in the European Parliament in 2012 after a huge public backlash against what was rightly seen as an attack on individual privacy where internet service providers would be required to monitor people’s online activity.

5 Jobs


The EU has admitted that TTIP will probably cause unemployment as jobs switch to the US, where labour standards and trade union rights are lower. It has even advised EU members to draw on European support funds to compensate for the expected unemployment.

6 Democracy

TTIP’s biggest threat to society is its inherent assault on democracy. One of the main aims of TTIP is the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which allow companies to sue governments if those governments’ policies cause a loss of profits. In effect it means unelected transnational corporations can dictate the policies of democratically elected governments.

Whether you're in or out you cannot deny the momentum is with out. I had £250 @ 15/8 on out yesterday and am tempted to have the same again @ 11/8. Bloomberg reported the William Hill boss as saying Out will be favourite by the weekend. You do the maths.

It is worth voting leave just to get rid of Gay Dave and Boy George. If it is "out" lots of them on all sides will be finished politically.

It gives us a great chance for a clean up, we only need half the Politicians we have so this would be a good start.

The only people I have met who want to remain are on the payroll of the Government. Like some on here?

I'm not one for Peter Hitchens or The Sunday mail he writes for but he sums it up perfectly:

Everything I hear now suggests that the votes for Leave are piling up, while the Remain cause is faltering and floundering. The betrayed supporters of both major parties now feel free to take revenge on their smug and arrogant leaders.
It has been a mystery to me that these voters stayed loyal to organisations that repeatedly spat on them from a great height. Labour doesn’t love the poor. It loves the London elite. The Tories don’t love the country. They love only money. The referendum, in which the parties are split and uncertain, has freed us all from silly tribal loyalties and allowed us to vote instead according to reason. We can all vote against the heedless, arrogant snobs who inflicted mass immigration on the poor (while making sure they lived far from its consequences themselves). And nobody can call us ‘racists’ for doing so.

If we end up with Brexit there'll be no stopping the right wing of the tory party from creating a bonfire of workers' rights and those on benefits will be squeezed like never before in their lifetime. Whether or not this is good/bad for the country depends on your political point of view but it will be painful for a lot of people.All this talk about giving the NHS additional funding must be taken with a pinch of salt;almost certainly the reverse will happen.
