Can see our polling station from my living room window, and I swear its never stopped all day. Compared to seeing a odd couple of people in the general election vote :S

I voted to remain, as the out campaigns are yet to convince me. Seems a bunch of scaremongering bull**** most of it. And to be quite honest, nearly every real person convo I have had about this the only reason for voting out seems to be immigration...and I do not believe that leaving the Eu will stop/slow down immigration at all. Oh, and I also don't really care if Turkey join the EU either

We had a ****ing leaflet through the door stating that those out of Europe have more chance of winning eurovision ffs

I just don't think its time tbh. We can have another referendum in the future once FACTS are sorted out. If we leave, we can't change that.

I have been pretty much undecided until today but decided not to waste my vote. Sorry to all you outers

Letter text

Dear Sir,

The NHS is a great British institution that families rely on in times of need. But as it slips into financial crisis the NHS itself needs some urgent attention.

The NHS is being asked to make huge cuts at a time of rising demand. Patients are having to wait longer for treatment, hospital deficits are increasing and doctors are on strike after being told they must take a pay cut. The Government must accept responsibility for this – they have starved the NHS of necessary funding for too long.

If we Vote Leave on 23 June we will be able to spend more on our priorities like the NHS. If we put the billions that currently go to EU bureaucrats into the NHS instead it would hugely improve patient care. For example, the Ł350 million a week we hand to Brussels is similar to the entire yearly Cancer Drugs Fund budget.

As healthcare professionals who have worked for the NHS for years we believe that the best choice in the EU referendum is to Vote Leave on June 23rd and save the NHS.
I haven't really read through this thread and realise this is a few months old now, but anyone who believes any 'savings' (if there are any) will be directed to things such as the NHS, schools or tax cuts, etc will be very disappointed. The normal people will never see the benefit of any savings the government make.

Will also post this here to vent my frustrations. Sorry to those who have already seen it.:

Part I of my voting experience:

'I am seething with my parents. We were on our way to vote and my mum decides to make a comment about how someone at work said that her sister is going over to the Irish Embassy to welcome 800(?) Somalian refugees with new houses (I actually have no dea how this is relevant since Ireland aren't part of the UK, but my response not knowing that it was related to the EU refrendum (I should have seen it a mile off since they've both been very obnoxious towards me for wanting to vote remain) was 'Aw'. I then proceeded ot be called ignorant. On the way to the car my mum made passive aggressive comments about how Britain wasn't 'great' anymore. My Dad who has been unbearble throughout this whole ordeal shouted his points in obvious attempt to try and get me to change my mind, snorted when I made my points for why I think it's better to stay in the EU and ultimately claimed that he was shouting his views in the car because he was talking to my (who was right next to him (why the **** was he shouting? lol)). I literally got out of the car and then walked in the complete opposite direction to the polling station, lmfao. I'll be voting later tonight though,

It's horrible how divided and aggressive this referendum has caused people to become, but it's interesting to view people in a way they wouldn't have before this vote. I have lost so much respect for my parents. Not because of hwo they were voting, but the way they made me feel because how I wanted to vote. Revolting tbh. I feel like complete **** for having an opinion. I'm not the sort of person that wants to use my voice in fear of ridicule in the first place.'

it allows us to fight for what is right and not follow by everyone else rules, Great Britain always use to be a trend setter but since being in the EU we have become a laughing stock

YOUR CLOSEST FIT
Cosmopolitan
Along with 17% of the UK
Cosmopolitans generally adopt an inclusive view of Europe, embracing the diversity of the continent and its contributions to British society. They are the most ethnically diverse group within the United Kingdom, and identify almost equally with the UK, the EU, and the world.

Most Cosmopolitans believe that all Europeans—including those living in the UK—share a common set of values, many of which are enshrined in the laws and institutions of the EU. They see a role for the EU in the affairs of the UK.

Cosmopolitans tend to think that the EU has made a positive contribution to the economic prosperity and security of the UK.

Cosmopolitans are also broadly in favour of the EU’s migration policies. They think immigrants enrich the UK and they support measures to foster a more inclusive society.

Cosmopolitans will overwhelmingly vote to remain in the EU during the upcoming referendum.


54% - Women
46% - Men
26% - Proportion born outside of the UK
The Guardian - Most read newspaper
44 -Average Age
Most likely to have voted in the 2015 general election for
Labour

95% will vote in, 1% out and 4% undecided apparently

Your next best fit - Utilitarian
You are least like - Nationalist

Thank you, Northern Monkey. I understand there pros and cons for both, but I'm not going to vote a certain way to please them. That would be the worst thing to do.

Exactly.It's your decision.If you gave in then you would be letting your parents take away your democratic right.
