EU referendum deal (title edited)

Still on the fence but I can't be the only one who finds the attitude of the yes campaigners incredibly un-British. Thank fuck these cowards weren't around during the second world war.

It's interesting how the arse has fallen out of the pound over the last few days with heightened fears of the UK leaving the EU.

I've heard several economic analyses today and the most positive about leaving the EU predicted that we would break even with 10 to 15 years.

Incorrect. Pound fell on uncertainty, as it always does.

The reason for the uncertainty was the increased risk of the UK leaving the EU following Boris picking the exit campaign. Yes true!

Precisely - the uncertainty, not the leaving. If the polls showed 90% for or 90% against leaving, there would be less uncertainty.

Where on earth do you get idea from?, the EU was formed to make some rich countries richer and grab power from the hard of thinking.

Here you go:

"The European Coal and Steel Community was first proposed by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950 as a way to prevent further war between France and Germany. He declared his aim was to "make war not only unthinkable but materially impossible"

There is no uncertainty if 90 percent wanted the current state of affairs to continue!

We agree then. Your first post on the subject could be interpreted as you suggesting that leaving could cause the pound to fall. Once the referendum result is known, whichever way, the uncertainty will end and the pound could then rise or fall whether we stay in or leave.

Please could a pro-EU poster sell me the benefits of having legislation introduced by a committee of appointees rather than by a government directly elected by citizens?

Thanks.

Anybody? Why is it better to have laws made by people we're not allowed to vote for?

People who have no accountability and who by their very existence aim to centralise everything for their own benefit.

I'm not against the EU concept of a trading group but the way it has evolved to a super state controlled by Brussels with no accountability, is for no ones benefit other the bearaucrats themselves and one could argue certain countries who are now totally enveloped by the whole concept that they are stuck with it.
