Come on Peeps get voting

Not trying to get two votes - I just can't delete one.

In.

Dont think you can change once you have voted

You can, but you have to wait forty years.

I think this could be the most uneducated decision for the UK populus ever. How can we possibly know?

We can't, but the number of weirdie MPs and 'tax consultants' pushing for Brexit is a bit of a clue.

That's why it's a referendum - because it's not to do with politics or values per se but just a matter of opinion on an incredibly complex topic.

There is another clue in the number of weirdie MPs and others pushing to remain as well!

I've decided I don't like democracy. I've just been having an argument with a guy on Facebook whose only reasons for wanting to vote out are because he doesn't want England to become a Muslim country and he doesn't want to die in a terrorist attack.

His vote is worth the same as everyone else's

Why did you bother arguing?

I voted in, but I think this has been an appalling campaign by both sides. Scaremongering, shocking manipulation of information and personal attacks that have done nothing to improve our image in Europe or further afield. If I was Europe, I might vote for Brexpulsion.

.

And just in passing, guess what -

It's too close to call!!

LOL @ Jim. You just described modern politics.
Nice of Nicola Sturgeon to balance things for those who can't stand Nigel Farage. Ridiculous woman.

And that Ali is democracy. No matter how much you dislike or ridicule his beliefs, he's entitled to hold them. There are people on here I fundamentally disagree with, but they are still entitled to vote

Yup, even Rk gets his say.

The problem with democracy is that fifty percent of the population are of less than average intelligence...

What's the saying: democracy is the worst way to govern a country, except for all the others?

Or another: Ninety percent of people can't think. Of the rest, ninety percent won't think. Of the remaining one percent, ninety percent don't have the information they need to make a judgement on and can't be bothered to get it. Doesn't leave a lot...

That reassuring statement Neil would in theory apply to everyone else then - unless the 'others' are perceived to be 'more' intelligent, fair, democratic, trustworthy etc. than ourselves.....

The point being Simon, that we have to make the best of what we have.

Hi all you British:
Please stay!

Hopefully the majority see sense on the day and vote 'OUT', leaving us to sort our own country out without the rest of Europe interfering. The second step in making this happen of course is to rid our country of those a"$eho13s at number 10 before we can even think about putting the 'Great' back in Britain

I heard the most ridiculous OUT argument on the radio yet the other day. The lady was saying that we'll be fine because we already comply with European regulation now so when we vote out we'll be OK. That's tantamount to admitting that we'll need to continue to comply with European regulation (much of which of course we will) - except now, of course, we won't have any say in what those regulations are (which was exactly the point the Norwegians that were interviewed made).

I simply don't know (because none of the Brexit crowd have ever said) what regulation we think is holding us back. Certainly, in my job, the regulation from the USA and, more recently, China is far more difficult to comply with because it is designed to make it difficult for us. So now the Brexit crowd want to add Europe to that list. I guess it won't matter much because manufacturing investment will move out so we won't need to bother with those regs. And we won't need to worry about "Johnny Foreigner" stealing "our" jobs because there won't be any.

My problem is that I am very well informed on this bit of the debate....

You and me both, MRS... but anyone who thinks that 'out' will miraculously result in the country being 'sorted' is deluding themselves.

As status quo will leave us in the same mess we're in....

I can see many positives on both sides, shame it's all hidden under propaganda and scaremongering from both sides.

No one knows what will happen if we vote out, but we know where we are if we stay and this country is a mess.

I'm on the fence - so am ready to be swayed to vote either way.

You've just swayed yourself! If we stay, the country is already falling apart, so why not try something that might actually work? I'm out all the way for that very reason

Listen to "More or Less" on radio 4 iplayer radio. Really interesting to examine the figure bandied about by both sides.

Facts like the UK has voted against more than 55 laws - but supported 2500.

We have almost the least regulations of any country in the world etc

Seemed like a very balanced programme.

The country isn't falling apart - it's actually in better shape than most.

Recessions are caused by uncertainty among other things. If we vote out, we will be plunged into uncertainty and it may or may not cause a recession. Either way, it won't be good. And this isn't based on gut feeling or belief- I already have clients seriously worried due to a drop in sales or contracts on hold. Anyone voting out thinking this will change once the voting is all over and we're on our way out is way off the mark. It will take years for this uncertainty to subside, and after that, only if leaving actually works.

One client has staff under consultation for redundancy purely because of this vote.

If you are voting out, please really think about the reasons why. If we do leave, it will be a very rocky road. Austerity on top of austerity will not be great.
