Of course older people will vote selfishly, rather than considering the implications for future generations. Eg if there was some golden ticket that remaining in the EU would benefit them directly, they'd vote to stay in.

Note this is an observation on voting trends of older people, not an interpretation that voting to leave the EU is selfish.

50/50 if you 'just' look at people who are leave/remain, right? So not including undecided people? I'd expect more undecided people to fall to remain than leave, which would change it from 50/50 to in favour to remain to an extent.

CBA to reach a decision = CBA to vote :D

Just like the tariff on virtually everything imported into the European Union from outside it.

To use some obvious examples, do you think the likes of VAG, BMW, Mercedes, Siemens, Alstom, EADS and going to take kindly to a tit for tat tariff war?

In or out, I honest think very little will change, people will find a way to carry on as close to what we have now.

The problem with this whole debate is that I can also argue for and against Europe using the same arguments as yourself and others.

Edited to include your full quote.

It wouldn't be a 'tit for tat tariff war' it would be imposing normal tariffs in the same way that is done for other major non EU economies.

There is no 'tit for tat tariff war' with Canada but try buying something from Canada...

Wish I had your crystal ball.
 
Regarding tariffs companies choosing to invest want access to the European Market.

If they invest in the UK out of the EU then they'll have to negotiate all the trade deals and export import tariffs.

If you were a multinational setting up a European base would you move to the UK with all the extra red tape?


Or course you could argue that they would as they wouldn't have to bother about workers rights anymore and could employ people on zero hour contracts.

It's all a bit biased isn't it. Where's the excerpts for the exit?

Sky news said the delivery had been patchy so one way or another they aren't being delivered 100%.

I have had one yet my neighbour hasn't, my sister hasn't had one neither has my mother.

There have been lots of complaints about them being folded up with other leaflets in parts of Wales.


I haven't had one yet.

You may be in one of the areas where postmen are either binning them or leaving them at the sorting office, because they were all sent out last Saturday for this Monday.

I very much doubt that they sent out all of the leaflets at once. That would be very inefficient.

Perhaps, but the way it's portrayed makes it seem horribly biased. There are just as many 'experts' who say being outside of the EU is positive.

And they will be quoted on the leave campaigns leaflet, and look just as horribly biased....because..... the campaigns are biased to their POV!

British Govt./Inefficient the 2 things do go hand in hand.

The bigger the government, the more inefficient it will be - which is another reason why I want out of the EU. The shenanigans with the Royal Mail not delivering them is kinda funny, since it was EU rules that dictated we had to open up RM to unfair competition and eventually privatise it. Oddly these rules don't seen to apply to La Poste or Deutsche Post.

I guess I'd just prefer a more neutral approach, let people decide what they want themselves with both views on the same page.

Is that because they have already been privatised in 2010 and 1995 respectively :o

Wiki said:
Deutsche Post is the successor to the German mail authority Deutsche Bundespost, which was privatized in 1995.

Wiki said:
the French government allowed private postal service companies in 2005 and transformed La Poste into a public-owned company limited by shares in 2010. Following the examples of Royal Mail in the United Kingdom or Poste italiane in Italy, the French government might sell its shares and float them on the stock exchange in the near future.

So once again it seems your criticism of us being treated differently/unfairly by the EU are unfounded
