    I run a company based in London, all my clients are European - none are UK based entities.

    I've spoke to all of them and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to them.

    I employ over 30 people and I am a Northerner, English, British, European - in that order.

    So I like Europe, culturally I see myself as European - but personally I think I would vote to leave - but based on the ultimate destination of a federalised Europe that no one voted for. For me it's not about money but about sovereignty.

    This article kind of cemented this for me: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comme…

    On the financial bit - In the end, I suspect that most global corporations see us a bit like Switzerland anyway, with secretive, flexible banking laws with convenient islands for embezzlement - and would love it if we left.

    • vote out and there's no going back. stay in and you've always got the option of a referendum should the right's paranoia of a superstate become more than a mythFax_Benson
    • That's exactly it - most other European countries don't want to become part of a Franco-German headed ZooperZtate either.detritus
