Stay, until someone can give me some actual facts about what will happen if we leave. Not mere conjecture based on inherent racism or xenophobia.
Some facts: 55% of the UK export goes to the EU. 7% of the export of rest of the EU goes to the UK.

<quote>Are a lot of people betting we will stay? The few forum polls like here I've seen are mostly favouring leaving. <\quote>Have you ever seen a poor bookmaker?
I fear you are right there But it's ok, if it is a stay vote, just like (some of) the Scots we can just whinge, whine and go on about having a second referendum to get the result "we" want.
How about some actual facts about what will happen if we stay as well, and just because people wish to leave does not mean they are racist.
surely that statement itself is based on 'mere conjecture'?
Well if its a stay vote its me that will be leaving---------to France where they don't give a shit and do what they want anyway
if we vote to stay no way can we leave in the future. so I'm told
“Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.” Article 50, Treaty on European Union[/r][/r][/r][/r]
Here's some comments from the Civitas think tank (which is not affiliated to any party) which bust a lot of the myths about the EU.http://www.eu-facts.org.uk/the-referendum-debate/arguments-by-topic/
There are two further issues of interest. The article only requires the withdrawal agreement to take into account the EU’s future relationship with the exiting state, so there is no guarantee that on leaving the EU that there will be a deal regarding future trade or political relations. Secondly, it is not stated that a country can cancel its decision to leave, meaning there is potential for the EU to force out the country that has opted to leave even if they changed their mind.
in the words of a classic!!Should I stay or should I go now? Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble An' if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know!!
