Stop playing the economy card. We all know it's about the socialist ideals and that only racists are voting out.

Yes full sovereignty will return to Parliament, but what extra power and self-governance will I feel out of Europe?

I've just come back from a week in Portugal. To a man(woman) everbody I spoke to said OUT. All of those were in 50-70 age bracket. Ironically the only 2 people who said Brexit was a terrible idea were German bar owners who berated the UK for not controlling its borders and blaming our mess on EU. The fear mongering & plain bullying scare tactics by the remain camp has really ramped up a notch too. Apparently Godzilla may attack the devon coast if we leave, devastating the scrumpy apple harvest. Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

But at the end of the day it is so much about the economy because everything works off it: health, education, pensions, housing etc etc. I promise you if i honestly thought we would be better off economically i would vote to leave. I would have no problem paying for health coverage abroad or customs duty on my cheap booze from france because i could afford it. It wouldnt even bother me that much if people on here called me a swivel eyed bigot. But the stark reality of a leave outcome is that we would poorer, have a lower standard of living and less life opportunities, so remain surely is the only rational choice. Nobody on here was able to tell me what 1 of the 73 laws were that the uk meps voted against, nobody was able to explain why Ukip had the worst attendance record out of 700+ parties in brussels and why they voted against britain getting the rebate and i still havnt heard one convincing argument for a leave vote

I was sure you would vote remain! Well me and the missus have been sent two voting cards each (one to my old address) so does that make it 4-2! Or will the conspiracy theorists on here claim its election fraud orchestrated by George Osborne...hmmmm

Or will the conspiracy theorists on here claim its election fraud orchestrated by George Osborne...hmmmm No Johnny still 2-0 because you haven't actually put your X on the ballot papers like me and Debs have! I imagine Capita or G4S have been involved in the admin if you have two voting cards... how did the cards at your old address get to you at your new address? I would be worried that it would make both invalid, so you maybe want to flag it up if you want your vote(s) to count. I would also remind you that.... It is an offence to "vote more than once at this referendum, unless you are voting on your own behalf and as a proxy for another person" This warning is printed very clearly on your Poll Card.

Haha Hoof, you seem rattled! Its easy to get royal mail to forward mail to a new address... But fear not, i have no intention of breaking the law....is that one of the 73 laws passed by the eu? No...still cant think of one. And are you sure that your good missus voted out? In the privacy of the voting booth she may well surprise you....perhaps while you are tapping away on your keyboard she's in the other room with her online persona, aka the free thinking liberal Kermit, the open minded sporty or the vastly intelligent bigpalacefan....you never know hoof, but shes hardly likely to admit it to you is she. On the subject of families, did we see that the green party have said that 100k families (where one partner is an eu or non uk citizen) could face marital breakdown due to visa and work permit requirements? Surely we cant want this?
