EU Referendom

  1. What do people think of it? Would you want to remain in the political union or leave?


    I wounder if we did leave, what would happen to the UK "GB" number plate.
     
  2. MBC

    I'd leave the EU on the basis we can stay in the EEC. I don't like how much we pay out to Europe and how we can't make decisions on everything about how our country should be run.
     
  3. I'll need much more information before I could decide properly. Sadly this didn't really happen at the last referendum in 2011.

    Having said that, it would be madness to leave the union (as it would for Scotland the UK) - but then again things also obviously need to change fast (witness scenes in Calais this week).

    Tricky one....
     
  4. I dont like the idea of United States of Europe with a president. I always vote for the queen at national elections. :wink: Her politics is by miles better than the clowns wanting 10 downing street:tongueout: .


    Here is how I see it.


    The argument for EU (a political union i.e different from Europe a continent):


    * Peace. Look at the mess in Ukraine and the EU bombing Syria even though we said we want nothing to do with it.


    * Prosperity. Look at the P.I.G.S. Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain.


    * Sovereignty. Look at the treaty of Rome, its all about making Europe one country, so therefore we would lose our identity (even worse lose Miles to Kilometers).


    The only thing that makes me think twice is that if we leave and do well, the EU nutters might punish themselves in order to punish us by making trade difficult but then again Great Britain has the common wealth which is actually growing a lot faster than Europe.


    Scotland has threatened another referendum if we leave but I think they were lucky last time as the world oil prices have dropped so by now they would be in serious trouble.
