Is that actually a serious question?

Live a life there. No thanks. But then again ten years time it might be alright.

Retire in Spain somewhere maybe. And that's a very small amount.

Everything's ruined yeah, now everything's ruined yeah.

My girlfriend and I voted leave because we hate the french.

Perfectly valid reason.

No there isnt, this nation is a ******* disaster.

So move. As an EU citizen your free to go live and work in Greece, spain, Portugal.

Don't like the EU? How about Bosnia, Yeman or Georgia?

Is this coming from personal experience having lived or extensively travelled on the continent, or your opinion from the outside looking in, so to speak?

Been and voted. Remain.

I may have considered Leave more if we had a humane government in charge, one I wouldn't seriously think would take away what remains of support for sick and disabled people if given the chance. While the EU certainly isn't perfect, it has safeguards that the small people in society need, people that have been trampled all over by this Tory government. A government that would feel invigorated to go even further if given the go ahead with a Leave decision.

Just to let you all know, I voted leave because I burnt my toast this morning. And I figured somehow it's the EU's fault. So I want out.

Voted in, it's bizarre we would have a referendum to renounce citizenship, next we'll have a vote to renounce the right to vote or breath air...

Because it's great.

Last year I drove to Bruges and had a lovely weekend away and came back with a boot full of beer, chocolate and cheese.

Why would anyone not want to do that?

You live in Essex, I think I'd rather live in Bucharest.

That's strange but whatever floats your boat.

Weekend away is a bit different to living there.

Moving to a third world country is a bit risky

Why are there polls all over the place on forums and we can't have one.

robfosters · 23 Jun 2016 at 19:49

Where's the poll!?!

Are these forums linked to a commercial entity?

b0redj0rd · 23 Jun 2016 at 19:49

Maybe at 10pm when the polling stations close they'll put a poll up?

It's an EU conspiracy because OcUK is owned by Germans and they can't let anything get in the way of the fourth reich

Panos · 23 Jun 2016 at 19:50

Came back from the polling station. Voted Leave, having my conscience clear and I will sleep easy for the rest of my life, knowing that did my duty to Queen and country, as per the oath I gave to complete my naturalization process. (because some are not hypocrites)

Now off to the cinema for Independence Day

That's what made me nearly vote remain as well. The EU is full of idiots, but they are not as idiotic as our lot. The only sticking point with me, is that even if we have idiots running the country we are able to vote them out and get another load of idiots in.
