I have throughout all my time on tibb and the years before I was on tibb too, been a supporter of the EU, I have never wanted to leave and even didn't particularly want a referendum.

I am not anti foreigners or anti immigration in any way,I believe in coming together not separation.

It wouldn't really matter what party I belonged to on this issue as to toeing the party line,with me wanting to stay in,unless I was a UKIP or DUP in Northern ireland supporter.
Since all the other parties in Parliament are recommending as a block remaining in.

My mind was made up in my early teens,I just have heard nothing at all,( in this shameful and dreadful campaign from both sides), of substance to convince me that being out, the UK would do better or indeed even achieve the same as it is now.

Thanks for answering! I know we disagree on what we'd like to happen but you've been a very polite debatee and it's interesting to read your point of view.

For what it's worth I don't have anything against 'foriegners' either. I just think we should have a bit more control over who comes to this country than we have with the EU. For instance I believe if you have committed a murder in another country you shouldn't be able to walk through our borders. It also seems to be unfair that people coming from the EU should be treated differently to someone who wants to come from Africa or Australia also, that's discrimination.
