Not everyone in Wales is a farmer lol. But no I don't want the fox hunting ban lifted, while I freely admit that something needs to be done to bring fox numbers under control I don't believe that tearing hem apart with wild dogs is the best solution.

We have to stay in for the business benefits. Leaving would be crippling to the economy.
Can't believe how little people actually want sovereignty or national identity. The EU when it first came about was. Ideal.
Now it's out of control. Hopefully Greece leave or get kicked out before our vote and the euro falls on its ass the whole stack of cards will fall.
As for that question about immigration, I don't think anyone thinking honestly and sensibly can say that current levels of immigration are acceptable.

Everything. And Yes, ideally.
I want to know how us leaving will affect me, my family, my region, the UK. How it will affect the rest of Europe, how it will affect non-UK people currently residing here.
How it will affect me wanting to visit Europe (for holidays/work etc) - I work for a multinational company, but main offices in England/USA.
I want to know what trade deals will be possible/most likely. Which markets will become open/more difficult to access if we leave.
I don't believe for a second that any other European countries will vote to make life comparatively worse for them, by agreeing to DC's demands/requests.
I think he'll do his hardest with his spin machines to make it sound like we're getting an amazing deal, but really nothing's going to change.
I want us to be able to kick out people who shouldn't be here, without their human rights becoming a barrier to that, several times (as happens usually). I don't care where they go, take them out into the north sea and dump them overboard for all I care.
I am all for "human rights" but I think the EHRA (or whatever it's called that prevents us deporting terrorists because they'll miss their cat) goes too far a lot of the time and is abused.
Far too much money and time is wasted, currently, on all manner of stupid things - and that's not to say I think we'd (with our current politicians) do a much better job... but we might do.
Yes, I am ignorant of most things above. I'd like people on all sides of the debate to make me less so
The difference is I wasn't aiming to insult, just poking fun at you ranting about things while completely jumbling up their meaning resulting in the rant being nonsense.
I.E not every left wing person is a marxist, just like not every right wing person is a Nazi.

How do we know? Do we know that the rest of Europe would turn around and say "Right, fine we're not going to do business with you now"?
What about the rest of the world that isn't Europe - won't it be easier to do business with them?

People keep saying this but what exactly is going to change if we left the EU? Are the Germans going to stop selling us cars? Are the French going to stop selling us Tourism?
This is why Cameron is trying to rush it. Before something like Greece exiting destabilizes the EU and makes it look like the shoddy mess it actually is. Sadly a majority of people in the UK can't see that and if the EU does fall apart then we'll will be hurt very badly.
We didn't get touched with the Euro problems because we didn't join a single currency. And we should be the first to jump the sinking ship before there aren't any lifeboats left

Leave but keep the single market is my view all else involved with EU is a waste of time, money and effort also I don't like the acronym every time I see it I think "Eww!".
edit: whats with the misspelt "Step Ladder" Option why no "pfannkuchen"?
edit2: I also believe poll title means to say "Intend"?

Our membership of the ECHR is entirely independent of our membership of the EU and substantially pre-dates it.
Besides which, in every case I can think of, the correct decision on deporting "terrorists" has been made by the courts.

I am a Conservative voter, I always have been. I think that the referendum vote is necessary to update the views of the electorate and confirm the commitment to the European project or otherwise.
It is also necessary to review and reform the scope of the EU in Britain today.
I voted yes in the last referendum, one of the few to have had that opportunity in this forum, so feel that it is time almost two generations later to refresh that view.
I voted yes in the poll above.

Second option is pointless until we know what the reforms are.

There is not a chance decisions that will shape the country for generations to come should be left up to the public, that is just ridiculous. Do you honestly think the public as a whole has a firm grasp of the intricacies of the EU, has the intelligence to comprehend it all? It terrifies to think that people on going to make such a huge decision based on emotions.

Underfunded by the UK? The Welsh get more spending per head than the English. In fact every other country in the UK get more than the English yet we have to put up with whining about how hard done by you all are, it really gets my ******* goat.
then why did iceland decide they didn't want to enter the EU after starting the process ?
It's BS that you have to be in the EU
don't we import more than we export? yea really these countries don't want our business :S
EU want their own army their own police the lot UK will just be a state of the EU at some point in the future it's clearly their end goal to have a super country
i would vote to leave in the current format - i don't think the benefits outweigh the problems.
Ideally i would like to see it reformed into what it was supposed to be, a trade union but with countries having sovereign powers if they want them (if they don't want them then fine but the country, and its people, must have the choice).

Yes, the EU will be a super state at some point and you don't want to be one of the main decision makers in that state, you want to be Iceland.

You say that like it is a bad thing.
