Looking at the situation in continental Europe now (just check France, for example, and the failing economies of the Eurozone countries), I just don't think we can carry on like this. It will bring bankruptcy and strife to all the nations of Europe. The whole thing must be rethought and brought back to a commercial alliance, not the craziness of 'ever-greater political union', with completely open borders in a dangerous political situation. It is clearly not going to work as it stands – that's becoming as clear as daylight.
It is in no European country's interest for this situation to continue.

Priti Patel might want to, Boris, Gove and Johnson might too, doesn't mean it's going to happen. I'm sure there's plenty more Tories that would want to do this, but it didn't happen in the coalition and it hasn't been proposed yet by a Tory majority. Do these Labour MP's want to reduce or remove workers rights?

I believe brexit might actually be a strenghtening factor for the rest of the EU. When the UK goes into deep recession after exiting the largest free trade zone in the world, other EU nations will think twice about following the same path.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

Sorry mate those are all fringe politicians. The mainstream is clear a Brexit will be a disaster. Polls show that you'll get your wish however. I think as I feared people are using this referendum as a lightening rod to express their dissatisfaction with loads of things.....all called immigration. Blaming the foreigner for their problems instead of taking responsibility themselves. Be careful what you wish for and batten down the hatches. Once we are out there'll be no one to blame other than those who put us in the bad place. Hard times here we come. You can also kiss goodbye to the Union. The SNP will never stand for Brexit. The SNP grew out of alienation from Westminister. Brexit will compound this.....the UK getting smaller and smaller......but if that's the will of the people.....:o
the elites have always had different interest to the the ordinary people
it is interesting to watch your new found admiration for the UK political class : you'll be voting Tory in 2020
but you are consistent with the way you despise the 'will of the people' :0 -

Higher level of education seems to correlate reasonably strongly with being more likely to vote Remain from the various polls we have, not altogether surprisingly, as people with a higher level of education would be doing better economically on average than those who aren't.0
