The arguments for and against leaving the EU to me, both seem watertight.
I have insufficient knowledge of the validity of financial numbers being quoted by various sources.
Looks to me like a 'flip of a coin' situation and live with the consequences.

As Gibbs would say you're left with going with your gut.

I, like many others don't have a clue which way to vote yet.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Quote from: PeterLoftus the younger folk seem to have given up on Britain's inventiveness and trading ability.
No, the older folk sold it off to "foreign investors" who took it all out of the country, leaving the young folk up a brown creek without a paddle...

I have listened to both sides of the argument and it isn't a cut and dry decision. I have to say that at present I am in favour of staying in.
The EU is the biggest trading block in the world and it's on our doorstep. We shouldn't take this for granted.
I'm with @PL, when we voted in 1975 we were misled and instead of voting purely for a trading union we got one that was a non elected political union. I hope David Cameron is able to secure some changes to the rules that will prevent so much interference from Brussels.

Many overseas companies have set up in the UK because we are part of the Eu - and if we leave they will move their factories / investments.
All the distractions about imaigration are just that - distractions on the real issue.
The days of our empire are long gone, Australia looks to be going to a Republic and New Zealand may follow.
The alternative of doing what Norway, Switzerland and I think Icekand have done - is to get access to the markets they still pay vast sums into the EU coffers - but get no money back in grants like we do as a member.
The people in power that want us out are doing it for their own selfish reasons - and unfortunately an element of the right wing press is backing them and distorting the picture.

The only problem for me is that we end up with two sets of arguments and two sets of truths.

This doesn't help.
