EU Referendum poll

Do you know why the deal was bad?

Because the EU doesn't need the UK. It's ****ing embarrassing seeing all these people getting their pitchforks out and making these ridiculous demands. We need the EU. The EU knows it, David Cameron (even though I despise him) knows it, every economist and businessperson in the country knows it, but these armchair economists know better.

The EU is laughing at us. I'd be laughing at us if I wasn't stuck in this ****ing awful country.

"We can build more houses" where exactly ? On greenbelt land that's needed for farming and to support the natural wildlife here turning the countryside into a concrete jungle ? We don't want to have to import more food than we already do.

Would they still want to come? Surely free migration makes it more likely for people to migrate?

There aren't an infinite number of people in Africa and Asia just waiting to make up for all the skilled migrants we stop getting from the EU when we leave.

Most EU migrants are unskilled. Unless you think picking fruit and asking how big a latte you want takes years of training...

When we leave, if we leave we are going to have to fill all these unskilled jobs from those already here.

Will we be able to cope? Scratches chin? Yeah I think so.

What make me laugh about you Little Europeans is you seem to think that the UK didn't amount to much until all those Europeans graciously allowed us to become the second biggest contributor to the EEC in 1973.

We did pretty well before we joined, and we won't do so badly after we leave, if we do.

34% of EU migrants have university degrees.

The number of British people in work has increased as the number of EU migrants in work in the UK has increased.

These are facts.

This is a ridiculous argument. "We were doing okay 40 years ago before we joined, so we'll probably do okay if we leave."

I hope not but What happens if on 23rd June. The vote is EXACTLY 50/50 What happens after?

To all those who bring up the " EU costs us money argument":

Of course it costs us money, it is part of the whole idea of having a European UNION and to deny that would be totally stupid. However, I'm concerned that the media has been influencing people so much so that they blatantly fall for this rather simple and useless argument. My point is, though we do have to pay out a great deal to support those members who are falling behind, we do actually get a whole lot more back in the form of trade, freedom to move about (something which we currently take for granted and I'm sure that anyone who has been to the US and had to pay for visas will understand) and national security(which, should we leave, we would have to prop up with even more of our GDP). OBVIOUSLY we are never going to get direct economical aid from the union, after all, we are one of the richer members. Maybe instead of continually looking for faults we should try and imagine what it would be like to not be part of the EU. And as for being one of the richer members of the EU, we must ask ourselves WHY we are at the top and exactly WHY we have managed to stay up there...

"We can build more houses" where exactly ? On greenbelt land that's needed for farming and to support the natural wildlife here turning the countryside into a concrete jungle ? We don't want to have to import more food than we already do.

The same farming that turns the countryside into a green desert?Actual places of wilderness and high biodiversity are protected and are such a small percentage of British land we don;t even need to think about building on them if they were not protected. There is plenty of space to build houses.

Leave, it's turned into a capitalist sham designed to oppress ordinary Europeans.

It's pretty and it's nice.

This is pretty and nice.


This is tedious. City centres probably have a higher biodiversity than this.

You are a Tory though, shouldn't you be bending over for your leader? You know what they say, Tories are lacking spine nowadays

I am swayed no however I am still looking for a fully balanced argument so have a few points I want to bring up:

1. Regarding the UK paying to support those members falling behind, should it really be the UK's responsibility to do that? I suppose this depends on your own personal opinion on whether you think countries should support others or look out for their own interests

2. Arguably the freedom to move about causes Britain just as many problems as it solves in terms of EU migrants

3. Just how exactly do you think things would be different if we left the EU?

4. Yes we are at the top however we were comparatively more wealthy than the other members that joined the EU (I'm particularly thinking of eastern european countries here) before we joined. We are still at the top, we are paying more because those other countries haven't gotten any richer. I don't have the greatest grasp on economics or anything but to me that seems like the EU doesn't make a country rich nor greatly improve it's economy (and whilst I'm on this point, could you respond to your own rhetorical question: WHY are we at the top? WHY have we managed to stay there?)
