Just out of curiosity.


Feel free to state your reasons either way in the comments

The majority of people I speak to are voting out.

The bookmakers are betting that the result will be we stay in.

I'm not registered to vote myself so won't be voting either way.

I've been following the propaganda by both sides and there is so much misinformation that it's very difficult to make a proper informed choice.

We were going to register for postal votes due to holidays then realised we were voting in opposite directions so won't bother. I would have been voting out, agree with the misinformation comment above, I think this will come down to gut feeling as who knows what's really true...?! Gut feeling, I don't like the agenda that the EU is pushing through our legal system with regard to moral issues.

Remain

I don't primarily see the thing as a financial decision.
Regardless of in or out, I wouldn't expect to see any benefit there, if the govt gets extra money (big if), I would expect it to go to their cronies, so no change there.

No, the big question, to me, is: do I want there to be no safety net? That the last resort is an appeal to HM govt? I think, on the whole, that I would rather there was a higher authority that they have to look out for...
People bang on about "sovereignty" but miss the point: on the whole, government is something done to us, rather than for us.

Voting out.


There is so much uncertainty over the economic outlook, that we can't be certain what will happen in a in or out vote - personally I don't think there will be much impact, especially in NI either way.


Vote out - the membership fee is saved and can be redistributed
Vote in - the EU subsidies will remain.


I don't like the what the EU has become over the years, the principles of free movement of labour (ie Workers - not non workers!) and free trade are great, however the Harmonizing of VAT rates and savings protections, the European courts, and European Law etc, are not something I welcome.


I don't appreciate being forced to buy an energy efficient washing machine that takes 3 hours to do a wash, I don't appreciate paying VAT on sanitary products, I don't appreciate the savings protection reducing (as it pegged to the Euro).


I don't appreciate the NHS and other public bodies being forced to put any purchases over €209,000 out to EU tender, we should be allowed to use national suppliers or contractors.

Leave - it's always better out than in!
Can't abide foreigners taking my tax money and foisting laws on me. Better to be free with less than shackled to even more masters. We might even be free with more, now that's an even better prospect.
The fact that there is a referendum says that those of us who voted no to joining have been proved right, if Europe was so good there wouldn't be any talk of leaving.

There never was a vote on joining. Edward Heath made the decision back in 1972.

Out - Dave and Osborne and liars, looking after purely their own interests.

Well it seems Angela merkel has requested that 10% of eu funds be diverted to refugees in Germany. How many votes for brexit do you think that will produce?

Why ask now? Does she want Britain to leave?
