Off Topic BREXIT

How about voting for what I think is (probably) the best for everyone?




Which is what I hope I am doing.

 

Clearly not what your dad thinks is best. Do you think it is possible to do the best for everyone?

 

Left to his own devices, Corbyn would vote Leave but the same party membership that put him where he is insist on him advocating Remain. And I'm more worried that the EU will privatise the NHS via their public sector procurement legislation, than the slim chance of Cameron and Osbourne ever doing so.

God only knows what will happen if we vote to leave the EU - we might even get to see the EU attempt to prevent us from leaving, just as they overruled the democratic vote in Greece. The economy might boom - it might go bust. The EU might react petulantly and attempt to punish us via trade, or they might be entirely pragmatic, given the parlous state of the EU economy, and allow us to continue to trade under current rules while accepting us taking control back of our immigration. Nobody really knows what is going to happen. I'm still voting Out, though, for the fundamental reason that I do not believe it is a very good idea to have 28 unelected and largely unaccountable men - some of questionable character - write all the legislation for over half a billion people. I mean, what could go wrong with that? FFS.

 

Didn't I see a graphic that Britain is one of the countries to benefit most from being in the EU?

 

Quite probably.

 

IN

 

I have had some fantastic treatment from staff from the EU and further afield

It was a polish consultant who spotted my lymphoma had come back about 5 months ago when two other specialists said the big lump on my back was a fatty lump.

Got sent for radiotherapy and was told i was back in remission again yesterday.

Me 3 - cancer 0

So i am sure glad the consultant / hemotolagist from poland is working over here.

 

Good news from a close call.

Doctors, scientists, engineers, whatever WE need would be welcome under controlled circumstances. We don't need to be European Community members to make that happen, whether temporarily or permemantly.

 

OUT

 

'We' keep voting to effectively keep that electoral system, because 'we' don't vote for people or parties that would change it. 'We' are voting within the rules that are set at the moment and are choosing to do nothing to change it.
I'm absolutely not a fan of the current system, but until 'we' do something about that then it's our fault
...Come the revolution Brother

 

Same old, same old. Politicians stink the place out, they only turn up on your doorstep when they're desperate for that little cross!

OUT!

 

I'm voting in. If only because leaving somebody like David Cameron in sole charge of our country is suicide, the thought of Boris Johnson standing side by side with Donald Trump is a worrying one indeed. And yes, there are enough stupid people in the country to make that happen.

 

I just feel the EU are like a load of city bankers! They'll throw money at countries (Greece, Ireland, Portugal) then come over the BIG I AM when they can't pay & start telling them they've got to make harsh cuts on their own people to keep up their payments! GB is a business and sometimes businesses have to down size to cut costs & see where money is being lost! Once in a life time vote this people! OUT

 

Sadly my dad's decision is based on one emotion rather than thought.

No, but I try to think of the bigger picture whenever I vote.
