Poll: The EU Referendum: What Will You Vote? (New Poll)

[datalol-jack]

Saying something's utter nonsense isn't an argument.

Your culturalist ravings aren't much better, unless you mistake Enoch Powell for Anthropology 101.

But do continue pulling out your geopolitically delusional, ahistorical nonsense out of your nostalgic top hat... it'll make a sound base for policy one day, I'm sure.

My job requires EU workers so I would vote to stay in

Do you manage a car wash

Why so little love for Portugal? I thought that there was a thriving ex-pat community in Algarve.

The McCanns got there first.

I'm terrified that if we leave the EU I will be forced to deal with British builders/workers who don't want to do an honest days work

a lot of folks think they get hired because they're "cheaper." Absolutely not, they don't talk BS and just do the work that is asked of them.

Could be a particle physics department for all you know.

You think we will just pull up the drawbridge from Europe? You will still get your hard working Europeans... possibly even better ones, if they implement the right kind of border controls.

I doubt quantum physicists would be denied entry to an independent Britain?

Pound has took a smashing hit on the foreign exchange markets, slowly creeping down over past month, and a good smashing against non-euro currencies today.

The European Commission has said it won’t take part in the UK's EU referendum campaign. A spokesman told the BBC:

We’re not going to be part of the campaign... Our role ends here.”
This position is not unexpected. However it contrasts with the commission's approach to the recent Greek referendum, when it actively campaigned for a yes vote.

Even the EC don't care if we leave.

If we allow in manual workers, who exactly are we going to be excluding?

Sorry, but that's utter nonsense. If in the future the EU makes a decision that Britain really can't live with, we could just leave. Voting to remain in the EU doesn't mean we have to stay in the EU until the heat death of the universe, it just means we'd like to *currently* stay in.

I've yet to hear a single compelling reason for voting to leave.

Given it's been 40 years since the last referendum on Europe and considering how Europe has so radically changed from a common market to a supra-national state in that time, I can't see how we'll have another referendum if we vote to remain in the EU. Cameron himself said that the reason for holding a referendum was to put this issue to bed once and for all.

It means everything to mine and your pensions!

Since my pension is currently invested in the UK I don't see how it affects it - the FTSE100 was up by 1% this morning wasn't it? So if anything I've won in the short term, neutral in the longer term.

I thought the whole point was based around blocking the EU workers from getting in so the British workers were given a chance?

What are you talking about? 'Manual workers'? You make it sound as if you view them as the lowest on the skill chart? 'If manual works can come here, I guess anyone can'

Australia let in 'manual workers' as you put it. Exclude plenty of people also.

So you hire builders/workers based on their nationality?

I thought the whole point was based around blocking the EU workers from getting in so the British workers were given a chance?

The big issue is about sovereignty - who governs Britain? Is it our parliament in London or the EU in Brussels? Immigration is an issue, I don't think anyone on the Leave side has argued in favour of blocking EU workers from coming here, just for a controlled immigration system that works for Britain and the people who live here.

Well yeah that's cos you deleted the other 3 paragraphs of my post you clown

Might be one small point of the referendum. definitely not the whole point.

But why, as a country, would we not let the brightest, or most skilled people into our country.

I don't know why people view it as extremes? In EU we let everyone in, outside EU we let no one in? It simply isn't the case...

Could use the funding though; and no, if you actually had bothered to look at how much European cash matters in our research, you cannot compensate by simply making the bottom 20% of earners in our country work harder and pay more taxes. The horse in animal farm worked 'harder' too, look where it got it...

You do know how brain drains start, don't you?

You say that but more people from the EU seem to be happy to do any job for good pay not selective work like British workers
