    I hate these threads too. If you want to remain in then that's your right in our democratic world. The EU will have no democratic ruling for us and leaders that you cannot vote against if your pissed off with them. If you want to remain then Good luck to you.

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion...even if it is wring.

    P. S trade happens if you have the best goods/services at a good price...irrespective of common markets

    People who think there are no facts are just reading other people's views that there are no facts and accepting that as what is happening.

    There's plenty of facts, go research the European economy, if you think that free market is so great to have access to.

    Also here's something worth considering, it'll take us two years to leave. If we haven't sorted our **** out in terms of trade deals by summer 2018 I absolutely believe we will remain anyway.

    It's a fair point. Some people are muttering about a 'fix' if the outcome comes as "remain" which is just nonsense but I can imagine a situation where Brexit is succesful but the governments end up not being able to follow it through fully.

    People have likened this to divorce many times, well if you have children and they live in your street the separation is very muddied!

    Really borderline. Initially it was in favour of remain but now it varies poll to poll. If anything it seems Out is more popular.

    Judging entirely just from people I know though - so totally not reliable or empirical - people leaning towards Remain seem to keep it to themselves more. Which is odd/interesting.

    I'll buy you 10 pints if you vote to leave (with proof).

    There you go, you have one reason now, legitimately, to vote. <ok>

    If you vote to stay in I can shout you a slimfast!

    The options in a nutshell -

    Brexit: exciting jump into the unknown so lets get drunk
    Remain: Dull continuation of the Status Quo but you know it's for the best so drink up your Slimfast :p
