Now however no further transfer of powers can take place,or even any new treaty signed without the UK electorate being asked in a referendum.
So I do not feel I am losing anything however I do feel as a nation both as to status and economically, the UK could lose a lot by leaving.
If I knew for sure,nothing would be lost and I was hearing from the EU that they will look favourably on the UK after it leaves.
Also if I could hear any non EU Nations saying they will vastly increases their trade with the UK if it leaves the EU.
Then I would feel the out side had a credible case.
Sadly as I say almost every day off here,I hear nothing at all as to that or that it is even likely.
I am not looking at this for just myself, I am thinking of the whole economic picture for the UK, short term and long term, I am looking at my Nephews and Nieces and thinking of their futures.
Lots of issues and elements involved in making my mind up,and although I do make my own mind up, it is when I have the whole picture, and have also considered everyone else I share the UK with too overall,rather than just myself.
This will possibly be dismissed as rubbish by you again however this is my view and in part how I came to support staying in,so because I followed my own thinking as to research and others needs as well as the benefits and problems of the EU too, I am happy with my choice.

Your own thinking is exactly my point. You won't have it.
