    Strongest reason to stay in:

    Currently there are a lot of regulations stopping the rich from raping us, and not many UK ones. Cameron and his buddies (on both sides) will be like rabid dogs released off a leash. Until things smooth over, they'll be able to rape the FUCK out of this country. Fracking, privatisation, massive deals will go down before UK laws can change accordingly, and then it'll be too late. They'll be sitting in a financial fortress and the UK will be owned by the highest bidder. And £3 will go to the NHS.

    Reason 2:
    Spanish girls are hot, and Portuguese are even hotter

    Reason 3:
    Before getting citizenship, I had to get a visa before any weekend in Europe. Imagine having to:
    Book a visa appointment three weeks before travel (so no last-minute decisions)
    Pre-book flights
    Pre-book accomodation for EVERY night
    Pre-book transport from every place on a specific day
    Prove you have a stable job and enough money
    Take a day off work and queue for hours outside the relevant embassy, and if any documents aren't in order you're fucked
    Pay about £60 for the actual visa
    (I once had to say no to some freelance work because of this appointment, someone else worked 3 weeks while I had no work. So the appointment cost me thousands!!)

    Reason 4: The obvious
    Trade agreements with neighbours is a good thing. We gain so much more than we give, in lower prices, services, healthcare abroad etc.
