EU - Out or In

  • Total voters
    92
I will be voting for staying in although my industry (fishing) has had a raw deal by being in the EU, IMO this wouldn't change if we left, it was after all our own politicians that barted away most of our fishing rights.


We have had relative peace in Europe for the past 50 years or so and in this unstable times we see across the world being in the EU helps us stay that way, for all its faults and waste of money this is my main reason for staying in.

Not being a Daily Mail reading Little Englander, I shall be voting to stay in. Being part of a larger political and trading group seems to make sense to me in the somewhat dangerous world we live in. We are not big or powerful enough to go it alone.

Oh %#@+ I 100% agree totally with Delc. And there's a phrase I never thought I'd find myself typing.

Please kill me now... ;)

What exactly has the EU done to create peace in the last 50 years? They have no army, cannot even sort out the current migrant crises. Nato is what has kept Russia from our door and a strong military alliance in the West, us being in the EU will not make a jot of difference to our national security.

Sorry, misunderstood thread, I thought it was about voting in or out. If it's not, your correct, it is irrelevant.

What I have voted or not voted for in the past is irrelevant to the thread apart from someone possibly looking to score points.

No, the UK will have free reign to trade with whom ever they wish. Why you think we will be sidelined is beyond me. The EU has been holding us back for too long.

This is how I see it the Eu does nothing for us we can't do for ourselves, we can sign trade agreements with whomever we want.
 
I'm in ... Why because this is a trade association. When your company sends round an email letting you know the implications of leaving, you get perspective.
This decision should be left to people with jobs not those who are retired, and have time to read the daily mail and think we are handing out money hand over fist. They are not contributing any more.
Go and find out ... We are not supporting anyone more than our own time wasters... Our borders are ours to protect, we have the sea surrounding us... Just check everyone's paper work thoroughly!!
I am surprised the farmers have not kicked off yet ...

What a sad, small minded comment this is! So all the retired people that have worked hard to make GB 'great' don't count any more? Are you for real?

My feeling is that if we left the EU and isolate ourselves it could lead to divisions between us and Europe, by being in the EU it at least gives us a easier opportunity to diffuse any situations that might crop up in the future.

I agree with him Gordon. Anyone over 60 should be precluded from voting. They potentially contribute to a change in circumstance that they won't see the repercussions of.

Qualification to vote should be working, tax payer. IMO of course
