"We've heard from Farage, Boris, Gove, and many others on the Brexit side. We've heard the arguments about the economy and immigration. This however is by far the best speech I've heard in the whole campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YNcF3h3NgQ" He's got it so right, great speech | |||

"Please vote to "leave" my fellow (fabbers)." "8 days to go and my country will not be a part of the, EU." You want people to vote leave and you don't even know the process to leave? If the UK votes to leave the EU there will be an exit process that will take at least two years and may well take us up to the next election as the UK negotiates its exit terms. Get ready for more anti EU hysteria when the EU fulfils its promises of not offering a country that has left the EU better terms than those who remain. Expect no change in EU migration unless the economic shock is so great that the economy goes on the slide and then there is the question of the single market which we are not of course voting to leave but which is linked to cost and the free movement of people. As certain Fab members on here have said - they are voting out purely on the "immigrant" issue which presumably means that they will also be wanting to exit the single market or expecting the EU to offer the UK more favourable terms as an outsider than as a full member. My view is that the UK will vote out, but I don't think it will come to that in the end as realisation of the actual consequences dawn over the coming two to three year. | |||

"8 days to go and my country will not be a part of the, EU.? I wonder what you leavers would do when we vote remain.." I wonder how many realise that a vote to leave does not mean that we will leave the EU? No matter how we vote the vote in parliament is the only one that counts. However a vote to leave will destabilise the government and may force a vote on no confidence in them triggering a general election. | |||

However a vote to leave will destabilise the government and may force a vote on no confidence in them triggering a general election." That presents a quite interesting, possible, scenario. Imagine this. Brexit wins the referendum which would make Camerons position untenable. He refuses to resign and Labour propose a no confidence vote. They get the support of just enough Brexit Tory's and force an election. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but wouldn't rule it out either. | |||

"Please vote to "leave" my fellow (fabbers)." Thank god you posted this. There I was, all undecided but then you went and asked nicely. Actually nah, on balance I think I'll vote stay. And assuming that's the way the referendum goes, all you Brexiters can wake up on the 24th and thank the grown ups for doing the sensible thing. | |||

" I think so too, and tremble at the consequences when people realise how little change other than more economic hardship it brings. I also think that people like Boris Johnson are recklessly throwing the dice and expecting to be able to negotiate a better deal with the EU on Brexit. Boris doesn't want to leave the EU at all. I think he misunderstands or is willfully ignorant of the motives of many on the Brexit side and the anger of the remaining EU states. | |||

"I wonder what you leavers would do when we vote remain.." Firstly I am voting to remain and sincerely hope this will be the case. Unfortunately I can see the same situation as with the so called once in a generation Scottish Referendum. The losers won't accept the result and will begin to campaign for another referendum as Nicola Sturgeon has indicated for Scotland although not until she and her SNP colleagues are certain of winning. | |||

" However a vote to leave will destabilise the government and may force a vote on no confidence in them triggering a general election." thats not happening.... all a no confidence vote will do is get cameron to fall on his sword sooner.... there will be infighting in tory party.... and who wins that will become pm till 2020... there wont be mass defections from the tories to ukip because if that happened you would let in a left sided rainbow coalition (Lab/snp/pc/greens/sdlp) the more interesting question was if a leave vote happened... if there would be any very pro european tories defect to the lib dems..... | |||

"Is there a full prospectus somewhere of what the eu plans are for the next 30 to 40 years ?

"Please vote to "leave" my fellow (fabbers). Why do you want us to leave ? I'm voting remain anyway but just curious Noone likes the, UK. They see the, UK. as a "threat" so why keep funding them. Charity begins at home on these shores. isolationism isn't the future.. " It's the EU which is the isolationist inward looking organisation. That's why we need to leave and open ourselves up to the whole world. | |||

Cameron had already demonstrated that he has very little negotiating power so given that he agreed to a referendum in the first place isn't going to make the other EU leaders take what he says seriously so the EU could change a great deal and affect us even more negatively than leaving. The status quo here is not an option. | |||

Here are a few that strongly believe the UK should remain a member of the EU: • Governor of the Bank of England • International Monetary Fund • Institute for Fiscal Studies • Confederation of British Industry • Leaders/heads of state of every single other member of the EU • President of the United States of America • Eight former US Treasury Secretaries • President of China • Prime Minister of India • Prime Minister of Canada • Prime Minister of Australia • Prime Minister of Japan • Prime Minister of New Zealand • The chief executives of most of the top 100 companies in the UK including Marks and Spencer, BT, Asda, Vodafone, Virgin, IBM, BMW etc. • Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations • All living former Prime Ministers of the UK (from both parties) • Virtually all reputable and recognised economists • The Prime Minister of the UK • The leader of the Labour Party • The Leader of the Liberal Democrats • The Leader of the Green Party • The Leader of the Scottish National Party • The leader of Plaid Cymru • Leader of Sinn Fein • Martin Lewis, that money saving dude off the telly • The Secretary General of the TUC • Unison • National Union of Students • National Union of Farmers • Stephen Hawking • Chief Executive of the NHS • 300 of the most prominent international historians • Director of Europol • David Anderson QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation • Former Directors of GCHQ • Secretary General of Nato • Church of England • Church in Scotland • Church in Wales • Friends of the Earth • Greenpeace • Director General of the World Trade Organisation • WWF • World Bank • OECD Here are pretty much the only notable people who think we should leave the EU: • Boris Johnson, who probably doesn’t really care either way, but knows he’ll become Prime Minister if the country votes to leave • A former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions who carried out a brutal regime of cuts to benefits and essential support for the poorest in society as well as the disabled and sick • That idiot that was Education Secretary and every single teacher in the country hated with a furious passion for the damage he was doing to the education system • Leader of UKIP • BNP • Britain First • Donald Trump • Keith Chegwin • David Icke So, as I said, if you can’t be bothered to look into the real facts and implications of all this in/out stuff, just pick the list that you most trust and vote that way. It really couldn’t be more simple. And if you are unsure about leaving, don't. and i be fair to the leave side.... you left out Marine Le Pen..... and Vladimir Putin!!!! " So at the end of the day your a racist of you vote out. Well done | |||

"I started out on the leave side but recently I'm a persuade to vote remain. The EU isn't perfect by a long way but I'm now convinced Brexit is well disguised a power grab by a collection of neo liberal aristocrats who are pretending to have the interests of the working class in mind. Stay and reform and fight TTIP. I'm thinking this more and more every day!" Totally agree. Vote remain. | |||

" A lot of people don't I sick of hearing we should leave to keep any more immigrants from coming in How will leaving stop that? All that will happen if we leave is a mass migration will cover over the boarders before we are totally out | |||

"Please vote to "leave" my fellow (fabbers). Why do you want us to leave ? I'm voting remain anyway but just curious Noone likes the, UK. They see the, UK. as a "threat" so why keep funding them. Charity begins at home on these shores." Come on mate. There are some valid reasons to vote leave but ill informed non-sense statements like this just make you look bad and don't encourage anyone to take your side. | |||

"Don't think this has been mentioned in the forums before but what are people's opinions of the EU travelling circus? Moving the European Parliament back and forth from Brussels to Strasbourg? Huge waste of European taxpayers money and I think it exemplifies the ridiculousness of the EU. It is farcical how they can be so frivolous with taxpayers money in that way. " Exactly. Was hoping for a Remainers' comment on this but seems like they know nothing of the waste in the EU or for some reason choose to ignore it | |||

But a lot of reasons on both sides have been so fucking stupid. If we leave toilet roll will no longer be available. If we stay we will all turn into frogs. | |||

"Please vote to "leave" my fellow (fabbers). "8 days to go and my country will not be a part of the, EU." You want people to vote leave and you don't even know the process to leave? If the UK votes to leave the EU there will be an exit process that will take at least two years and may well take us up to the next election as the UK negotiates its exit terms. Get ready for more anti EU hysteria when the EU fulfils its promises of not offering a country that has left the EU better terms than those who remain. Expect no change in EU migration unless the economic shock is so great that the economy goes on the slide and then there is the question of the single market which we are not of course voting to leave but which is linked to cost and the free movement of people. As certain Fab members on here have said - they are voting out purely on the "immigrant" issue which presumably means that they will also be wanting to exit the single market or expecting the EU to offer the UK more favourable terms as an outsider than as a full member. My view is that the UK will vote out, but I don't think it will come to that in the end as realisation of the actual consequences dawn over the coming two to three year. " this.. a clear case of be very careful what you ask for as you may not like the answer (and the reality).. | |||

"Just think in 20 years time and your grand children who are all part of the republic of Europe with 1 single monetary, political & taxation system come and ask " Could you have done anything to change this?" You'll be able to say "yes, but we quite liked the idea of short term comfort at the time so didn't do anything" Can you tell which way I'm voting? " ............. | |||

"All politicians lie. No one can accurately predict what will happen out of the EU but one thing is for certain. It will not be nearly as nice as the leavers say or as bad as the remain threaten. If it is leave then Scotland (23% of the land mass of the UK and all the N sea oil), will vote to leave the UK. NI will need a border with the south and the troubles showed how hard it is to seal that. There will be a lot of change. But bilateral trade with North Korea will blossom!! " Do you really think the People of Scotland are following snp advice to vote remain, even SNP members are sticking up their middle finger and voting to leave the EU any SNP members on here actually voting to remain, if they are, they are keeping very quiet VOTE LEAVE no mater where in the UK you live | |||
