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.

So you are happy to hand over any power to un elected people in another country to whom you do not know and to let them make decisions for you? This is what i mean... You believe in making up your own mind on issues yet are so blinkered right now that you cannot see that you will have far less of an opinion if any at all by remaining in the failed EU.
