Has CLAPTON swung your mind. IN or OUT

Options
Don't know about you but reading the cutting insight of CLAPTON et al has totally convinced me.

I was always a bit on the fence but the noises from the out group having convinced me without a doubt that I do not sit with them.

Remain for me.

Anyone else made up their mind?
Left is never right but I always am.

    Is it about them or you ?
    You are not joining anyone or anything or making allies.
    You are deciding if you want the right to vote out your masters and rulers .

    Nothing else.
    The personalties are a diversion run by the state to fool the stupid who can not make a simple decision.

    Here is the Brexit simplified :

    Do you want to vote in or out your rulers and do you think future generations should also have that choice.
    Yes
    Or
    No.

    Ignore everything else, it is all hot air .

    If we remain, what you going to do if they start passing laws you don't like.
    The answer is Nothing, you will be removed from the political process and there is nothing you can do.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    I.

    Yes

    No.

    .

    Yes on both questions.

    I want to vote for my MEP and I am confident that if it were suggested this be changed I would want a referendum on it.

    I also want to vote for my MP.

    That is why I have voted Remain. A few Leavers have made me think about whether this is the best decision.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Think we can work that out.
    If you really are that confused, you might be better not voting.

    My day job has plenty of impact on the majority of people i guess as I pay lots of tax . I presume the nation would like that I continue to do that.

    Honestly I have wavered and wavered on this. I see virtue in a lot of arguments on both sides.

    However I see things on the leave side I find abhorrent and do not want to associate myself with them . neither do I want them to get the result they want .

    Isn't the point of referendum that everyone votes on whatever basis is important to them?

    You wouldn't presume to be so arrogant that you believe your single vote is worth more than mine would you CLAPTON?

    I have never heard of Clapton, I am voting in a referendum on our Membership of a political union that is €12,766,212,751,490 in debt and rising a over Hundred Euros a second.

    Thats what I am voting for, I do not care about any of the "celebs" on either side or what they think.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.
