    The majority of voters agree that everyone who doesn't think it will be "ok in the end" will move to another country?

    well if being part of the EU is so important and means so much to people then why would they not move?
    If you honestly think that the UK is going to be as bad as you say it is why would you live here?

    I would not live somewhere I did not like or if I thought I would be better off somewhere else in the world.

    I'm staying because I've got friends, family, a life and a career in the UK.

    There's some altruism as well. I want to help the little people too - little people like you Barry.

    No need to thank me.

    You must have a very lonely existence if you have nothing to leave behind :(

    Thank you, I appreciate you support the little folk. ;)

    I know you didn't want thanks but giving me all those taxes to fund my holidays, flat screen tv and fags deserves it.

    Being an "older" voter most of my elder family are now dead.
    Yes I have grown up children but they are used to flying and could visit wherever I lived in the world.

    I guess by lonely you must mean all the Europeans that left their home countries and family for a "better" life in the UK as well.
    Not to mention all the people that have moved from the UK to live in Europe.

    It sounds like you don't have any grandchildren, or if you do then you don't have a close relationship.
    Some grandparents see their grandchildren daily and even provide child care.

    Yes there are a minority that emirate, but the majority want to be close to their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, friends, communities, churches and sometimes hobbies.

    Nothing wrong with emigrating if that's what you want, but the majority have stronger ties to family and friends.

    Personally I'm keen to emigrate a bit later in life (Warmer climate) but DH won't until his parents are gone. We are in a minority because we are childless.

    Who knows, but it will never be damaged enough to mean I ever lose as much money as you have on property. :)

    so are you agreeing that anyone that moves to a different country must live a sad existence lol.

    No wonder London is so depressing these days.
