EU referendum

[BigJoe#1]

I'd like to ask a genuine question.

Has anyone genuinely changed their minds about how they are going to vote, or had their minds made up by the content of the debates and the news coverage..

I'm happy to admit I'm a stubborn old bastard and I'm still firmly in the out camp and it's going to take a massive piece of evidence or info to change my mind? Converts (either way) over to you.

Cheers mate.

At what point do the debt figures become so large that repayment is just completely unrealistic though?

In the terms of the U.K., never.

When you think of what a countries GDP is, just liken it to a mortgage against an income.

It looks huge but it's still very much affordable.

The basic point of my first post to you was just that it's not some nameless/faceless organisation that is UK plc's creditor, but 7/10 people of working age at a very conservative guess.

Yes me. I am a europhile. I think freedom of labour and trade to be great things. Staying in also means my business doesn't suffer.

But I value sovereignty and don't fancy a federal Europe if at all possible.

At the start of the campaign I was leaning very strongly towards leaving. There was a period of about a month when I would definitely have voted leave. But now I just cant see anything but chaos if the Leavers win.

Are you a politician lol?

A very comprehensive answer that goes into detail but does not give me a clue.

Are you saying you are a Europhile that is voting out? Because that is how I would describe myself. I love Europe and the experience of going there but cannot stand the thought of giving up sovereignty and being ruled from Brussels.

Cheers in any case.

In fairness, whoever wins there will be carnage, Remainers or Brexiters.

This country is very badly damaged through this referendum and it will take years to fix it... Either way.

Yes. That's a good fit.

I have I was in. In fact i was told to make sure we are in as I work In a cross European business. I soon became out though and have not changed my view since the more I get into the debate, a lot I know started as in due to the economic benefits in presented but actually they aren't that bloody obvious anymore and a lot of my colleagues are changing to out.
