Actually it is perfect logic.
You say you've researched it an awful lot and I trust that you're not lying about this. You've searched your beliefs and decided on a strong LEAVE vote. As I disagree with you on literally every political, ethical and philosophical position that you have ever expressed then it's perfectly logical to presume that I would do so on issue number 364,856 aswell.
I'm assuming about 150 Conservatives and the 1 UKIP will support Brexit and the other 500 will not.500 MPs?
I haven't said I've researched it an awful lot. Are you confusing me with someone else?
I said I'm voting Leave because I said I don't want foreign bureaucrats and a foreign parliament deciding on laws which apply in the UK.
Yours is exactly the the kind of reason why allowing a referendum is simply stupid. You obviously know fuck all about any other issue apart from the 'foreigners' angle.
Should we remove all 'foreign' investment from the UK as well?
Whilst some of the logic about levy's and tariffs sound unarguable, never forget the opportunity we will present to Europe to not only 'bring us down a peg or two'. Not only that, if we leave with no consequence, the whole European project risks collapse and I rather think the French and Germans won't be minded to let that happen.Because you can take the names out of that argument and it still makes sense. Your post basically said these people I don't like support X, so I will support Y; completely ignoring that other people you don't like support Y. It is a self serving argument that people use to give credence to a decision they have already made on different factors. Those different factors are the ones that interest me and at least you've mentioned them in this post.
I don't think they have absolutely no idea of the consequences. It's admittedly hard to predict consequences exactly, but intelligent guesses can be made. For example, why would the EU levy huge trade fees on the UK when the UK imports more than it exports? Why would the EU stop trading with an independent UK (Switzerland trade a higher percentage of their exports to the EU than the UK does currently!)?
Politicians like the EU gravy train. Staying in would keep potentially lucrative EU roles open to them at the end of their UK parliamentary career. Likewise big business leaders and US politicians are telling the people of the UK to vote the way that best suits them - not the UK people.
I never realized the right to invest and the right of residency were linked, does this mean I have to sell my sisco shares?

If you think the referendum is stupid then boycott it.
As a person who is democratic to the very core of my being, someone who respects the views and opinions of others and is happy that they can have their say on this important matter, I'm very pleased we are having a referendum.
Isn't it funny that the main opponents of a referendum are all the people who claim to revere the wisdom of the common people - the Labour party, socialists, the Islington Guardian set - they never wanted a referendum and are appalled that everyone is having a say.
