Faisal is brilliant, Cameron rattled already
Not one straight answer to a question he's been asked. |

The interview was good but the Q&A was a bit disorganised with people just shouting out instead of putting their hand up.
That literature student was ridiculous as well. Thought she was an expert on the middle east because she's got Moroccan family and obviously had her attack on the PM scripted whatever he said in response to her question. Trying to bang on about Saudi Arabia was not exactly relevant either. Overall the PM did well and had a good answer to everything I felt, a couple of the questions he was very strong on and left the questioners a bit flummoxed |

I really do think the PM made very strong points, I do think he got more than many people will give him credit for in that re-negotiation. He is right too even before the re-negotiation, he with the coalition govt, put in place that any further treaty and transfer of powers cannot be done without the permission of the UK electorate. He is right he has secured the UK not ever joining the euro if it doesn't want to and again that would have to be put to the people in a referendum too. I honestly do think he made a good case for the deal the UK now has with the EU and I further think he is right to say that it is at best unlikely we could get anything better out of the EU. For me he did well although with limited time, please will the organisers get a better questions than will Boris make a good PM,what for goodness sake had that to do with the EU referendum. However, I would have happily answered that question for David Cameron, no, no,and no again, Boris would not in my view make a good PM. |

So I see that as the voters sanctioning same by repeatedly electing govts that did so. Now however no further transfer of powers can take place,or even any new treaty signed without the UK electorate being asked in a referendum. So I do not feel I am losing anything however I do feel as a nation both as to status and economically, the UK could lose a lot by leaving. If I knew for sure,nothing would be lost and I was hearing from the EU that they will look favourably on the UK after it leaves. Also if I could hear any non EU Nations saying they will vastly increases their trade with the UK if it leaves the EU. Then I would feel the out side had a credible case. Sadly as I say almost every day off here,I hear nothing at all as to that or that it is even likely. I am not looking at this for just myself, I am thinking of the whole economic picture for the UK, short term and long term, I am looking at my Nephews and Nieces and thinking of their futures. Lots of issues and elements involved in making my mind up,and although I do make my own mind up, it is when I have the whole picture, and have also considered everyone else I share the UK with too overall,rather than just myself. This will possibly be dismissed as rubbish by you again however this is my view and in part how I came to support staying in,so because I followed my own thinking as to research and others needs as well as the benefits and problems of the EU too, I am happy with my choice.

No more powers can be transferred without the UK electorates permission in a referendum. We never need to join the euro. We do not have to be part of any further political integration with the EU after the PMs deal this year. I have made my own mind up on that definitely and I have further made my own mind up on that I doubt very much that the UK could get anything like the deal it has with the EU now, even just on trade, that is already has. I also think,not just as to myself but that the UK the Nation I was born in and live in, will also have little more than just an opinion around the world rather than influence, overall, 'if' it leaves the EU. |

It has been strong before, it has had problems and is growing again now, with countries lining up to get trading deals with it. Can you tell me exactly what growth the UK will have if it leaves the EU, will it be better, the same or worse. Ian Duncan Smith stated there would be a 2 year downturn for the UK with lower growth than had we stayed in, for at least 2 years. Can you state that we would,how we would, and how long afterwards it would take, to make that lost ground up once alone, after that 2 years and just get back to even where we are now.

If the UK votes to leave and by some backwards miracle the Conservative party elects Boris as leader and PM then I equally have to accept that. Only in a general election can I express my dissatisfaction and vote for another party but yes I would be moaning that he was PM as I do not feel he deserves to be in any way. Others however,wouldn't agree and would welcome that taking place. I don't see anyone overseas running the UK,I see 28 Nations making decisions,with the UK being one of them, and it likely getting harder for the unelected element to influence more as to EU matters now. I simply do not myself see the negatives of the EU as you do,just as you cannot see the positives to it either. Although at least I can and do accept there are both positives and negatives as to its make up. |

I know what being in the EU is like,I need little more information as to that, I have no idea what the facts really are as to being out and you just as is the case with the out campaign, have given no substantiated picture or facts as to being out. Had you and the out side,any Nations,in the EU or out of it backing your case as to the UKs future out of the EU,you would easily be able to credibly demonstrate and present factual information. The fact the out side cannot do so,and in fact has no Nations supporting the claims,for me that speaks volumes about being out and the dangers of same. |
