    EU referendum - in or out?

    Easy to say when it doesn't have a direct effect on yourself. Sadly this wasn't a vote won by a clear country mile, and as people are free to vote how they wish, i'm am free to view my concerns. You must also remember Virtually half of the voters wanted to remain. Yes we will have to all get on with our lives but there is going to be a horrible few years ahead. This vote has already and I'm sure will even more so in the future had an atrocious effect on my families livelihood and so many others

    "No, what I'm saying is that the average teenager couldn't care less about politics as a general issue. Until you go out into the wider world as an adult you are usually insulated from the day to day workings of society." The same applies for so many who have had the opportunity to vote on this matter

    also from what your saying doesn't that mean ... someone with racist belief shouldn't have the rights to vote on this issue as they would have voted on one issue someone who's business exports purely to the Eu shouldn't be able to vote because of his bias. Pretty sad that people have so little faith in this countries future

    EU referendum - in or out?

    on some grounds you are correct however not everyone votes rationally or sensibly. I'm very fearful that this vote has given a bigger platform for racism. For example I know a Asian gentlemen whose parents were immigrants, he's born here, he was educated here, has become a very successful businessman yet yesterday in Newcastle a group pulled up next to him and said we voted out so fuck off back to your own country. Perhaps we should introduce an IQ test for voting, if your IQ is the equivalent of a banana you shouldn't be able to vote

    EU referendum - in or out?

    I agree both side would have made promises that cant be fulfilled but the not everyone sat back and decided sensibly. Votes would have been cast on such small details like the NHS, and IMO the use of "Saving the NHS" with the extra £350m per week saved would have definitely swayed enough voters to make it a majority, and for me thats was an appalling lie. Also just read within 3 hours the UK Economy lost $350 Billion Pounds, the exquivilant of what about 40 years of EU contributions

    Good to see the Leave campaign have already started to reveal the lies of this campaign. Would be interested to see just ho many people voted on "saving the NHS". Good old Nigel took him what an hour to reveal it was all a lie.

    EU referendum - in or out?

    as a young father of two young boys the proposition of re entering an recession (again) is my biggest concern if we vote out. the fact that the vast majority of economists, every other leading economy (american, Canada, India, China, etc) all believe we would be better off if we remain in plays a big part in my choice. anyhow come tomorrow this saga ends ( i hope)

    EU referendum - in or out?

    A lady from the out campaign (daily mail reporter i think) was on question time and made the statement about the EU dictating where theses funds are spent etc. When challenged about this myth by David Dimbleby she insisted it was true, he then turned and asked Nigel Farage if this was the case and he said no they don't dictate where its spent or who its given too.

    EU referendum - in or out?

    Isn't the out campaign also based on fear or have i missed something ? "The NHS is being crippled" is a line i keep on seeing. Part of the nhs's biggest problem is people are living longer. Also illnesses are far more complex than they were say from 40 - 50 years ago because of the crap people eat.

    EU referendum - in or out?

    "The 'lie' about the £350 million is more a case of not properly explaining how that figure is arrived at and what mitigates it. Strictly speaking the figure is correct, but leave don't say that a good proportion of that comes back. Fair enough, but it is equally true that the rebate isn't sacrosanct and the grants given to the UK are also not written into law and are directed i.e. we don't get to say where that money is spent.." thats not true either. Nigel Farage was questioned about this on Question time the other week and he said this was a lie aswell

    EU referendum - in or out?

    So the out campaign haven't lied throughout this either ? What about their slogan on the bus of the £350million per week we "give" away, what about the lie that 60% of this countries rule are made up by the Eu ? (in fact its around 10%). I was very much a vote to be won over yet from what i have read and watched on all of these TV debates the out campaign don't appear to have any real plans in place on how they will change everything, they just keep on saying were british we'll be ok. They've spent months slating the EU, and its members yet they believe when it comes to re negioating terms on trade they'll be welcomed with open arms and will get what we currently have, cant see it myself. Also When question last night on immigration numbers and asked if they intended on lowering the numbers, all three (Boris, Gisela and that other women) looked at each other in dismay and couldn't answer. In all honesty i'm sick to death of the debate and cant wait for it to be over. I believe its bought out a horrid side to most of this country. Ive heard people referring to immigrants as "them", these are human beings who aren't as fortunate as some of us, yes they are a number that like others in society are bad but, are the Uk going to start getting rid of social benefit cheats and spongs of society ... i doubt it !
