For the eu vote, I am undecided, but im troubled by the net 250 million pounds a week we give the eu. Could we do more with that money?

Although £250m sounds a lot, the cost of the EU is actually chickenfeed on the grand scale of the country's budget.

Far from it. I am voting OUT and feel no need for anyone to rant about it regardless of how they vote, its not as if ranting is likely to change the situation.

What do you base this idiocy on?

I have no vote, as I am a lowly immigrant.

But if i did, i would vote with my pocketbook.

All people involved in money, from the BOE to economists, banks etc all say the pound will plummit, and the market will crash if we brexit.

And I'd just as soon keep things as they are. It is bad enough when market volatility happens, but to actually MAKE volatility is madness.

So easy to see what they meant.

Every time the leave campaign makes as assertion an expert (or several) in the field pop up and dismiss their claims.

No more though, that nice Boris has said staying in is what Hitler would have wanted. The only person that truly dismiss that shot himself in the head a few years back. Nice one Boris!

I'm pretty sure Genghis Khan, Caligula and Stalin would have been pro-EU too.

How many experts said it was good to be in the ERM; how many said we were doomed if we did not join the Euro; how many predicted the crash of 2008; how many experts are paid or funded by the EU or HMG?
Short term markets will not like uncertainty - the rest is just waffle and cronyism.

That's the spirit.

There are clearly parallels with the Scottish referendum but I (like many other people) think that the UK as an entity is past it's sell-by date.

I doubt an independent Scotland would create a UK but would join the EU

As a Scot and someone who is undecided, I think there are some parallels with the Scottish independence referendum. For that vote, I think most people wanted to stay part of the UK but with some change to the relationship (my belief anyway) but that wasn't an option and we get stuck with an awkward referendum.
