Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

I think that most people don't know which way to vote....I am very much in two minds....I am angry at the common market for not clamping down on this illegal immigration....I have nothing against those who have a legitimate right of abode in the UK ...but the migrant issue is getting out of hand....

Express today - In a massive rebuff to the Prime Minister, a survey of almost 150,000 people found around nine out of ten want the UK to withdraw from the European bloc.


Last night, of 148,577 votes cast an astonishing 87 per cent - around 129,261 - said that they will vote to leave the EU in the referendum planned for June 23.

Just 10 per cent - 14,857 - will vote to remain while three per cent are still undecided.

Seeing as 'Call me Dave' along with many others in Brussels is pushing for Turkey to be fast tracked into the EU, having the prospects of another 75 million immigrants rushing over the continent to get to the UK is horrendous...You've also got several other countries wanting to join, ALL low wage earning countries like Bosnia., etc...

If I have a vote ( I live in Spain now ) I would vote OUT. It seems we are subsidizing these nations in the EU and the bloated Eurocrats in Brussels and elsewhere.
In spite of the fear tactics we are hearing I think we would be a richer country OUT.
We could still have EU relationships for internal security, and environment issues, etc, which would be mutually beneficial and they need our trade as much or more than we need EU trade. The £ has fallen a little recently because of this uncertainty, but I doubt it will fall to Euro levels ( Greece - disaster, Turkey want in EU, Spain unemployment problem, France not so great economically, and Germany may soon have political problems after Merkel goes, is there an EU country prospering just now ? ) Do not listen to Cameron, he has to say he has done a good job getting better conditions from EU and the Chancellor needs to support him - better we are OUT and our own boss again I say. Maybe Money AM can arrange tick boxes or something for IN or OUT ?

People living in other Countries having a vote on what we want or don't want in this Country?

No.

I want out.

Lıved and worked for a number of years ın Germany Sweden Belgıum.

Loved every day of ıt.

Now when returnıng, these countrıes have been hıjacked by a project that ıs systematıcally destroyıng all theır herıtage. Just as ın UK.

I am cannot see why any elected polıtıcıan would want to gıve up a democratıc rıght that was ın place for centurıes ın UK.

Controllıng your own destıny must surely be fırst prıorıty no matter what colour rosette you are affılıated too.

Latest EU joke:

MEPs can claim £120,000 a year in expenses without providing “real proof" of how the money is spent, because EU officials don't want to saddle them with an "administrative burden" which would hamper their freedom, a court heard.

EU expenses chief Frank Antoine-Poirel said that only on “very limited occasions” would MEPs be asked for “real proof” of where MEPs allowances ended up.

Mr Antoine-Poirel, head of the EU’s Parliamentary Assistance and Members' General Expenditure Unit, admitted he had never seen the bank accounts of long-serving Labour MEP Peter Skinner, who is accused of using his expenses to pay £10,000 to his ex-wife.

Skinner, 56, is also alleged to have used some of the cash to repair the gearbox on his ex-wife Julie Skinner's Land Rover Discovery and funded hotel stays, restaurants and jewellery by claiming a maximum £480,000 for support staff over five years.

One of the original reasons for forming a european community was to try and reduce nationalistic fervour and in that way try and reduce the risk of war within Europe. Many people who took part in the formation of the European Union were alive when the two world wars decimated millions of lives. I'm still in the 'undecided camp', but apart from isolated conflicts, my generation has had a much more peaceful time than those before me.

UK citizens living abroad for less than 15 years can vote I believe.

Cameron said in his Bloomberg speech "Of course Britain could make her own way in the world, Outside the EU, if we choose to do so"

Compare that to the scaremongering and false information he's now reverted to giving out..

The real reason there's been no major wars in Europe is NATO, NOT the European union.

You're got to look at the civil unrest that's going on in countries like Greece and the Ukraine, etc too see that the EU does not keep the peace.

IT DESTROYS DEMOCROCY.

Good old DEMOCROCY.

It must be very worried!

I agree grannyboy up to a point about NATO. It was partially set up to deter soviet expansion but also to encourage european integration. Either way, NATO or EU is aiming to achieve the same result. It does not destroy democracy.....they voted to join the European Union. Civil unrest has always happened (Catalunya, N Ireland, Ukraine etc) but that is different from outright war.

Thanks for the spelling check Fred1.

HARRYCAT, "but also encourage european intergration"

Sorry got to disagree with you there...ALL the dikdats that come out of Brussels ARE to be OBEYED..Thats not democracy, the same with the immigrant crisis..It was Merkel that instigated and encouraged what is happening now in europe, and she demands that countries should share the burden that her folly has created.....

Check out Merkel's action down the line!

Perhaps, more important her action was out of "common decency" and not short term gain.

Grannyboy ,your absolutely right Merkel has helped to destroy the EU .

"Perhaps, more important her actions was out of "common decency" and not short term gain.

Well its the countries of europe and its culture thats going to suffer for her 'common decency' for years to come.

When these 'refugees' arrive in Turkey, they're in a SAFE country...The UK has provided billions of pounds in aid to these SAFE camps.

Ok....time for a joke ; what's the difference between an African immigrant and a football ?.....answer : none : they both fit under a fast non stopping lorry.......

It's only a joke please don't fret..(freight)...get it.....aaaahhh..

(Well....if you think I'm resigning....think again.....).....
