I'm normally not very vocal. I have posted some views before, and it's been an interesting debate, however i've decided I'm not going to vote. It's been fun reading the arguments for and against for this EU referendum, but there is so much misinformation coming from both sides that I really don't feel that I can make an informed decision, even after doing my own research.

Originally I was going to vote leave, but all the promises such as 350 million a week going to public services such as the NHS is a load of tosh really, especially when equally they have made promises to put that money to other areas - all of which far exceed the 350 million or whatever figure it really is that we will gain back to spend. It does not add up. But even on the remain side, the toxicity from Cameron and Osborne with scaremongering is shameful.

Basically, I feel neither side is being factually honest, and if I vote to leave I want to know what the repercussions will be and what plan there will be in place to deal with those, especially with things like further cuts to public services. I don't accept that it is too difficult to make a strategy for this because we don't yet know what the fallout may be. We have known for about 6 years that there has been an increasing rise in interest to vote out, not to mention the manifesto pledge to hold an EU referendum. Why hold an EU referendum and then not prepare for the outcome of leaving the EU? So far neither side has provided honest answers about what the plan will be for leaving. The whole thing is ill-prepared, and an utter shambles from both sides.

This is just my opinion of course.

It's undeniable that both campaigns have been plain awful but if a leave vote is the outcome, you'll still be part of the consequences of the lack of planning you mention.

I'd guess being in lettings the recent requirement to confirm right of residence (and big fines if they get it wrong). It's not an EU reg though, just UK, but I imagine most of the people they needs to check are from the EU, thus it's an EU problem in his/her eyes.

I know, but I want to make an informed decision when I vote and I can't. There is too much misinformation.

If we do vote leave and there are consequences from lack of planning, then I will accept those, but that still doesn't change my view about it all being a shambles.

Would you prefer to have your hard-earned tax money sent directly to pov countries, or would you prefer it was spent here in the UK on a kitten and puppy orphanage?
