Whatever happens the only thing I am confident of is that we will no longer have conservatives in government; thank god for that
And if you're wrong?

This argument literally makes no sense. Are you honestly trying to say that HSBC are looking to move back to Hong Kong because we might leave the EU?
HSBC are talking of getting out of the UK because of bank levies and the possibility of it going higher under Labour. HSBC's financial interests in the EU are small.
Everything comes to do an 'If' since no one knows what tomorrow brings.
If the only argument against Scotland leaving the UK was 'what if..' then that would be no argument at all. Thankfully there is more to it than that.
As for the benefits: What benefits? The trade tariff for most countries exporting the EU is hardly insurmountable. And as others have explained, we've a trade deficit with the EU. Tariffs would help us more than them!
Voted Libdem locally and didn't vote nationally, well no vote that would actually matter. Locally Libdems are the best option for me. Either that or a conservative living in London who has posed for a few pictures doing stuff locally.

Amazing shows how many people who use OCUK have no sense of the reality of most peoples everyday lives.

Well I'm wrong but I don't see how it is numerically possible even if you believe the polls which put the tories on the furthest lead.

Who on earth is Albert Enistein? if you mean Albert Einstein, that's massive fail mate...
Are you saying it's not 'reality' unless you're poor?

What makes you so confident? Nothing points to that.

Why is nobody voting for OCUKGD?
It's a trash heap of racists, CT and people without life's.
Oh wait which one do I fall in.

Of course, I spent the whole of my life thinking the guy was called "Enistein". Total fail on my part and not a typo at all.

He said "no sense of the reality of most peoples' lives" not simply "no sense of reality"
No the world isn't what it used to be, but it still doesn't explain why Britain cannot be a prosperous nation outside of the European union. How do so many countries in the world achieve this but we cannot?

We were dissolved shortly before the campaign started we couldn't agree on key issues such as what colour we should be(Dark Blue/Black)!
Leaving the Eu would be bad for the economy in the medium term until we could build up new trade agreements and alter our economy sufficiently. Maybe 10 years with a good government. However is it a price worth paying given the social benefits of not having ridiculous immigration? After all we're not running the "give an eastern European a job" charity are we?
My personal objection is that my ancestors have worked hard for centuries to build Britain up to what it is now and it's complete BS that any unskilled person from Poland can get a £30 flight over, sign up with an agency and get the benefits of that hard work while we still have 5% unemployment who are all capable of doing these unskilled jobs.
Immigration should be a temporary measure for high skilled jobs like doctors etc until we can train enough of our own through a decent education policy.

Labour have no sense of my everyday life (whatever that means).
and that we weren't able to optimise the election process to be at least 20% faster despite raising core values considerably and maxing the additional power
