    My parents are under the apprehension that leaving would 'cure' our spiralling immigration problems. I hate this constant rhetoric claiming people are coming over here taking all our jobs, when in reality we're not even doing the jobs ourselves because we're spoilt little bastards. We're so wrapped up in our own self-importance that we fail to recognised that we're actually just an average country of mindless human beings trying to make things work, like every country. Apparently there's talk of if we leave, France and Italy may do the same. The EU does seem like it's governed by Germany with a currency which doesn't suit every nation. The way Greece was treated kind of sums up a lot of the reasons why I questions our involvement, but then I agree, we're all better together. But then, who made that post about collaboration being a load of bullshit? Can't we be the maverick country leading the way, like we constantly dream of being? I guess not!

    It's not a straightforward YES/NO like people think, and I still believe 70% of the people in this country have no fucking clue what they're even voting for!

    • exactly. and the figures on immigration speak volumes - it massively benefits the economy but you will never read that in the Murdoch press.fadein11
    • You're able to state that last paragraph and still believe the vote makes any difference? Come on now.set
    • we need immigration - but uncontrolled imigration is not a good idea. lets pick who we want in the country.trooperbill
    • Set, I'm feeling as disenfranchised as the rest of the country, although I understand the issues, I have no interest in trusting a Conservative governmentIanbolton
