Your opinions please.
I was just thinking, as the EU referendum is only now a matter of weeks away I was wondering what the reactions of the MP's of all colours who vote to stay in will be if the general public vote for leaving of the EU. Surely they would have to fall on their sword as they have shown their true colours by not wanting to allow the UK to govern itself.
Just a thought
Id like yours please.

Re: Your opinions please.
if we stay we will be ground down more by the eu... if we go we will have a couple of years to get back on our feet again? the in voters our counting on young voters but they never knew the great Britain we knew? I personally believe we will vote to go and the eu will start to collapse its a house of cards.. just my view but I will vote to go.. we could make our own laws to buy british made products not cheep shite sent on the backs of sweat shops abroad .. jp

Re: Your opinions please.
My view is easy.
Even if we have some bad times it will be by our own hands.
If it's a bad law then we can change it as we made it.
I am fed up living by a law made by unelected members far away , making tons of cash.
I voted to go into the "Common Market," not a place where we are told we will do it because other countries tell us.

Re: Your opinions please.
#1 John re your opinions please, I believe I have said enough about the same, And may be considered to speaking out of turn being no longer a resident of the Land of Hope and Glory. However I feel justified once again when I chose to try another country for a better life, as this was just prior also to that infamous treaty brushed under the countries nose and was the certain start to the loss of sovereignty, as this was 1992 and I emigrated in 1991, I refer to it as escaping by the skin of my teeth.

Re: Your opinions please.
John #9 just because you no longer live there does not mean you do not have vany interest in what happens, no doubt you still have some kin there!
In or out will make littl difference to the EU, it is now in something of a state of disrepair with all the comings and goings of refugees. Greece is still a fiscal basket case and how long can they survive?
There are many personal reasons why voters will vote the way they do, it is more about personal for some than the benifit of the majority. But the current system used by EU is not democratic, more in the line of socialism.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Hi All
There will be many who will, See no Evil, speak no Evil, and Hear no Evil. but they will all have to live with whatever comes about.
Merkel welcomed the refugees, many many people carried placards welcoming them, all different now. It wasn't me your honour.
