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....

will10 so Turkey has a special arrangement..Now what
would this special arrangement be, and which makes it
more important then the UK in YOUR opinion??? .
As already stated by others and myself, the UK is the 5th
largest economy in the world, what gives you the foresight
to state that Turkey could and should have preferential
treatment over the UK
What do you mean by the UK is different to Turkey
outside the EU..Obviously in a detrimental way in your
opinion, and that they wouldn't be able to negotiate an
advantageous trade agreement..Maybe not with Cameron
doing the negotiating, but get someone who has this country
at heart then we certainly can.......

jimmy (919) - that's an interesting article though it leaves me puzzled
if the dutch public can force a referendum vote on a brussels stitch-up by getting together a petition of only 300k, why can't other eu member states?

It's quite amazing all these people in authority telling us how bad leaving would be , not one got the BALLS to tell us what they will accomplish if we vote out , apparently they aren't capable of that scenario , just sucking up to EU dreamers .

that's not fair at all
there are very strong arguments for staying, effectively a known open market and ongoing economic stability and all that attaches to that
the downside of the above is the ever increasing influence of (undemocratic) brussels legislation, slow absorption into a federal europe whether we like it or not, and unencumbered free movement into uk for the ever growing population of "the club"

No your post 918 is far from nutty ,i really believe that if we leave Europe collapses within a few years or sooner and it would be the best thing that could happen.

Why does everything have to balanced , are the stayers in any way balanced they are probably lying their socks off .

You would hardly call Fred and Stan balanced would you ,one's a drunk and neither will vote even though they hate Britain.

if you're dyed-in-wool either-camp, it matters not, but if you want to compare facts insofar as one can, then balanced views are much more persuasive

Fair enough, we will also not have open access to the single market if we leave.
Do you seriously think our leaving will suddenly mean migrants will give up at Calais and go elsewhere? Doubt it, France will let them on to the ferries and we can sort it out our side.
Grannyboy
To save you the effort of looking it up. Turkey has special EU access because it is an associate member, negotiating membership.
The reason I am sure we will not get the same deal for free access to the EU market is that we voted to leave.
