So... let the debate begin? With the referendum potentially a little over a year away, how do people intend to vote, and why?

The current way the question will be presented appears to be something like:

Do you want to remain in the EU?

So voting Yes to remain part of the EU

Voting No to leave the EU

I'm likely to vote no but I look forward to the next year + of politicians twisting and BSing the public like they did with he Scottish referendum but on a much bigger scale. I suspect we'll see a lot of tories creep out in support of a NO vote too as it could affect their back pocket. It'll be interesting to see the Daily Mail brigade getting the same treatment as Scottish YES voters did last year.
 
I will be interested to see if they manage any renegotiation of the european deal at all first.
Too soon so say yes or no, we do not know what we are voting for yet.
 
Stay, be stupid to leave and even a referendum is insane.
Most people only know what the papers tell them, which are usually lies. Just look at the news reports and outrace at things like banning vacuum cleaners.
EU does so much for consumer rights, human rights, environment etc.

On top of that we as a species should be moving further away from nationalism not reverting back 50+ years and undoing all the hard work.
 
I voted yes because, although I believe we should leave, I do not believe our government and political establishment has the vision or the will to capitalise on the opportunities if we do.

The EU is mostly a mature market, aside from some Eastern European nations, yet it is our most important trading partner. Growth is slow and it is developed. If the UK was a business, it would be trying to compete by selling the same old stuff to the same old customers with the same old competition. There's so much more opportunity out there in the world (Global race, Dave?) but we invest nothing but lip service in tapping into it. Our government and opposition have no serious vision - it is all about tweaking what we already have. We're incapable of delivering genuine dynamic change in a time when there's never been so much opportunity to do so much more.

What's the (now old) saying: nobody ever got sacked for recommending they buy IBM? That's the UK in a nutshell. Capable of so much yet so utterly resistant to change.
