I fully agree with your first two parts (maybe two bickies ) and said so earlier but its the last bit that I think is a problem because too many people are just thinking for themselves and not the wider picture, ok fair enough but its a case of only looking out for themselves right now and not looking further ahead at the wider picture.

I know what you mean. However if we all vote for (generally) personal interest, doesn't that mean (generally) it's best for the people of the country?

Cheers

Good point

Think you need to re-write your last sentence again, to this.

Not at all. Things will change. What to we don't know, and that is the weakness of the 'Out' campaign's argument.

MT = What I actually meant was the increased cost to businesses to import into the EU (Export from here) because of increase duties.

Ah get it now. Except of course the UK producer wouldn't pay the import duty. The EU customer would. We would need to lower our prices to compensate

Perhaps it is an indication of the British apathy that this thread has been read 2460 times but only 58 have voted ? :rolleyes

The thread is still open for reading and posting on.  The thread view count isn't the number of unique viewers.

Just been on scoobynet forum, their vote for out of EU is running st about  65% .

[dazza]

I think we should have another vote or re-open the voting as after doing a bit of research I for one have changed my vote from out to fucking definitely out

[fazersharp]

fucking definitely out

Wouldn't it be good if that was actually an option on the ballot paper

For what it's worth, I've come to the conclusion it's too important a matter to have a vote on.
Given that the public have been fed nothing but hyperbole and scaremongering through the tabloids, we're in no position to decide effectively.
Leave it to those who are actually qualified to know what the fuck's gonna happen if we stay or leave.
The majority of the UK public are going to vote on their gut instinct, which is dictated by Rupert Murdoch.

I was a bit pissed off with obama saying the uk would be at the back of the que behind the EU when it comes to trade talks when we leave, and was talking about 10 years-- well thank you our "special friends".
But I suppose that being our special friends he was only saying what Camoron told him to say, also he wont be the President who has to deal with it and so he will not be loosing any face when it doesn't turn the way he was saying.
If we vote out then Camoron AND Doshborn will both also be out too, because there is no way after all their doom-saying that they can then precide over what will be a smooth painless fast transition.
So that is one of the reasons NOT to leave it to the politicians to decide because they will be voting for their own benefit just like they always do.

OOT

[joebloggs]

So much speculation on both sides of the fence, thing is, if we stay in we'll never know if it was the best decision.
