I would rather continue to work within something I know, than walk into areas unknown with little idea of any positives or negatives there may be there.
That is why I will vote to stay, I know where I am, and the UK is, inside in the EU and that we can remain a successful Nation

Coming out,I have not the slightest substantiated idea really how that would either affect me personally, affect the future generations of the UK and indeed affect the UK itself too.

I believe the voters will narrowly vote to leave unfortunately but for me, the vote to leave is the real gamble,not staying in now.

Why is being outside the EU so unknown, there were thousands of years without it before 1973 and we managed to get along!

I think there is a lot of uncertainty over the EU. A lot of member countries are falling to the far right in elections because we aren't the only ones unhappy with the EU and being patronised by our politics and a lot of people don't seem to feel they have anywhere else to go. The Greek debacle is far from over, there is another round in July. The Euro is a failure. And most worrying of all those forging ahead to ever closer union are either oblivious or simply don't give a stuff what anyone else thinks.
