Great post Jaxie, and some very valid reasons to vote out. The problem is that there are some equally good reasons to vote to remain which is why this is such a difficult issue to weigh up and decide upon. I wonder how many people will be taking a deep breath before they put their X in the box

What scares me a little is that it has taken a long time to even get a referendum on Europe and if people vote remain we might end up stuck in a very bad situation with no way out. Just look at how eager a large majority of our politicians were to give up the pound which would have been a disaster. I think that many people have such a jaded view of people like Farage that it prevents them actually looking at the bigger picture.

I could go on and on about crazy EU directives like making chocolate conform to guidelines across the EU and taking 4 years to do it. Our chocolate has never tasted right since! But levity aside, four years debating chocolate? REALLY?

I understand people are scared but for me there is no deep breath, I have on my running shoes and I really want the starting pistol.
