Better tyhe devil you know and all of that...I have been openminded and tbh undecided throughout this whole ordeal and not one argument from leave has convinced me. I also feel we could have another chance to leave in the future, though maybe not for 20/30 years. It seems to be very...final...to decide on a huge thing like this (that there is no backing out of, if leave wins) based on a few leaflets pushed through your door and facebook pictures 
Having said that, our polling station has been HEAVING. I noticed one or two people going to vote in the GE...but the turnout here seems to be absolutely huge. Unfortunately, so many are ill-informed. I mean, I don't know what will happen if we leave, noone does really (though I tend to favour the views of big businesses and such) but the main reason for voting leave appears to be immigration..which it utter bollocks, immigration won't stop if we leave the EU. Hell...last night I saw someone saying they want to leave as they 'don't like paying taxes'?! Another was ranting about being treated in A+E by a 'foreign' doctor and because of this brought up leaving the EU...as if it would do any good to just remove all of the 'foreign' doctors from the nhs..yeah great plan...lets forget we have a shortage to begin with 
Anyway, I have no real strong views one way or the other, though right now I would prefer to remain. But some of the arguments have been utterly bizarre. |
would you have voted to Join the EU if that had been on the table and we were not a member?
