I agree that the debate has been crap from both sides, the remain have been doom and gloom and that we are gonna colapse as an economy and the leave just waffle of taking back control (comtrol of what exactly) and cutting imigration.
I ain't arsed on either of them arguements, on imigration people come and people go, most imigrants enhance our nations and in the economy in properos or lean times I have been pretty much the same finacially.
What no one mentions and what did impact on my life working in the hospitality trade is the working time directive. Before it I along with others were worked to the limit sometimes 80hrs+ a week with a never surfacing time in lieu or overtime at normal or any rate, sometimes 14 consecutive days without a day off and holidays being fucked about with.
Only one country opposed this the tory led UK and I would expect a tory led UK free from this would dismantle a lot of it's benefits.
So I will vote remain as I always was before, because until I am not convinced our own government would always put the peoples wellfare first unchecked.
Isn't that what an opposition is for? I'm not a fan of the 'EU will reign the Tories in argument' - however, earlier in the debate that was a concern I had but, in the end, felt that argument is a lazy copout for Labour, Lib-Dems etc
That isn't to say, I don't appreciate your concerns
