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....

Irish Premier Warns Merkel That Ireland To Be Worst Affected By Brexit
Tue, 12th Jul 2016 14:47
BERLIN (Alliance News) - The island of Ireland would likely be worst affected by the British decision to leave the EU, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Tuesday.
The two leaders discussed the future of European integration, Britain's relationship with Europe after the Brexit as well as Ireland's "unique relationship" with Britain as the country's western neighbour and former colony.
"If Britain has access to the single market, then things will stay very much the same as they are. But that will come at a price," Kenny said, referring to the free movement of people without restriction, which is seen as a quid pro quo in the upcoming Brexit negotiations.
There were also many practical issues to consider for Ireland, Kenny said, pointing out that hundreds of thousands of Irish people living either side of the Irish Sea depended on the British economy for work.
It would be difficult to give an outcome at this stage, he added, but according to "predictive economic papers" Ireland would be the worst-affected country.
Regarding the peace process in Northern Ireland, Kenny said that a lengthy conflict between Catholics and Protestants had left "a very fragile legacy," and efforts to maintain peace and stability in the North had to continue.
"Peace can never be taken for granted," Kenny said. "This is why I keep reminding people of the value of the EU," which he considered as a "peace process in itself."
Merkel meanwhile emphasised the importance of Ireland's voice in the EU and its good relations with Germany. The 27 remaining EU member states would have to discuss the future of the union: "And here the Irish voice will be heard as well as all the others."

18-14 in favour Corbyn.
If he wins it will be all out war and probably a split into Labour and the People's Front of Judea. Not sure which will be which.

I will certainly be voting for Coryn as I did last time. It is called democracy. I want Corbyn to be leader of Labour, but probably for different reasons to his followers.
