Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

There's a number of the indigenous population that feel seriously dis-
enfranchised, they feel that their voices are being ignored, some see
immigrants coming into the country and having more say then them,
who were born, lived and worked here all their lives.
There are lots of area's where the indigenous population's vote is meaningless
due to 'minorities' bloc voting.
It's getting to the stage where for many voting is a waste of time, this
referendum is the only vote that EACH individual will feel gives them at
least 'some' resemblance of democracy...

Immigrants not born here cannot vote in General Elections no mater if EU or non EU until they become full UK citizens.

Not splitting hairs, just the facts. You are implying that immigrants come here and vote. That is not a problem.
We actually have a low number of immigrants compared to other countries. I do agree that immigration needs to be controlled to the point where we just take the ones of value to us. We have had far too much immigration in the recent past. During the Blair years, Labour went looking for more immigrants to change to demographics of voters so that that they could stay in power longer. They then lied about the process and the numbers as documents released a few years ago reveal.
I am voting out, but not because of immigration. I don't like the EU as a body. We joined the Common Market and now it is a political body. It doesn't matter what concession we get from the EU. A Labour government in the future will give away all our rights. The only safe route is to leave.

Cameron would sell the country out before Labour got anywhere near
power if the vote was to remain.
If its a vote to stay then its goodbye UK.

"You are implying that immigrants come here and vote."
No they come here then get the vote, and yes its a problem, as i stated
those that were born here, worked here and contributed to the system for years
and then when it comes to voting find their votes mean diddly squat.
As to the UK having a low number of immigrants compared to
other countries, maybe thats because we are the most populated country
in europe as it is..

But look at the land masses also. France 551,695 km2; Germany 357,050 km2; UK 244,820 km2. UK is most highly populated per km2. Perhaps we should reclaim Brittany and Normandy.

The land masses have nothing to do with it. In all those countries the majority of the land is completely empty. The only impact populations make is in cities.

Nonsense. The land gives space for new towns and industry, as well as agriculture. Look at Brasilia as an example.

And its nearer 65 million, not counting the illegals.
A lot of this flooding that has been occurring over the recent past can be
attributed to a EU directive which says dredging of rivers is not allowed.
For centuries dredging the rivers have made a significant contribution to
limiting the cause of flooding.

England has about 55M (but who knows really?) in a land mass of 130,395 km2. Scotland and Wales have much lower population densities.

We have a smaller population than France and a much higher GDP, with lower unemployment. We can cope with immigrants better than France even though their immigrant numbers are far higher partly due to most of North Africa being historically under French control.
