The EU wants to increase their budget, at member states expense naturally! and bring in a whole raft of new legislation, but they aren't going to announce it until after our referendum.....how sneaky is that???
out, out, out, out!!!!
if i was british , id vote to leave , the uk is a big economy , no reason it cant thrive outside the EU , the immigrant situation is becoming so serious that decisions related to this issue should not be farmed out to foreign bodies , leaving might restore some focus to the other parts of the uk , london is likely to be worst hit by leaving but its rich enough as it is
now the selfish part , im not british so i hope you vote to remain in as it will effect my own country in a negative manner ( most likely )
It's panning out just as I predicted. I knew the powers that be would try to frighten the voters to remain in the EU. I would think my interests personally would suit remaining in the EU. I hope the young have the courage to vote to leave. So many have a more difficult life than I did at their age.
It may be hard at first, but our country will recover in time and thrive outside the EU. We cannot continue on this road of massive immigration. This is a small island, and we are already overcrowded.
Those on the gravy train want to keep it on the tracks. The UK leaving could undermine the very foundations of the EU. I will vote to leave, because I feel this will give our young people a brighter future in the long run.
The " experts " think our GDP could fall by 10% in the event of Brexit.That's a bigger fall than the Great Depression of the 1930s ! Surely Remain don't think people are THAT stupid ?
its "Operation Fear", I think that says it all.
they are talking down our great country and trying to scare everyone into voting the "right" way, typical EU tactics.

Thing is, it is never backed up by hard facts. In fact the whole debate is characterised by a lack of factual evidence.
"SIR – Britain is the fifth biggest economy in the world and, on current projections, will overtake Germany to become Europe’s powerhouse. Britain is America’s largest inward investor, and our openness and dynamism mean we attract more inward investment than any other European country."
"Three of the world’s top 10 universities are British, we speak the international language of business, our legal system is trusted round the world and we have an unrivalled reputation for innovation and creativity."
"These are just some of the reasons we believe that Britain is world-class. However, we also believe that Britain’s competitiveness is being undermined by our membership of a failing EU."
"Year-on-year the EU buys less from Britain because its economies are stagnant and millions of people are unemployed. According to Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England, the euro “might explode”. Brussels’ red tape stifles every one of Britain’s 5.4 million businesses, even though only a small minority actually trade with the EU."
"It is business – not government – which generates wealth for the Treasury and jobs for our communities. Outside the EU, British business will be free to grow faster, expand into new markets and create more jobs. It’s time to vote leave and take back control."
Greater Manchester Chamber will remain impartial in the run-up to the EU Referendum, however it has launched a dedicated website designed to inform businesses about the issues surrounding the debate.
More than half of Greater Manchester businesses say they will vote to remain in the EU on June 23, according to the latest survey by the British Chambers of Commerce.
56% indicated that they wish to remain, 35% opted to leave and 9% said they were still undecided.
Over 2,000 businesses from across the UK took part in the poll last month, which was the second BCC survey of its kind this year.
The first, in February this year, showed that 63% of Greater Manchester businesses would vote to remain and 30% would vote to leave.
More widely across the north west, the results show that 47% of businesses would opt to remain in the EU and 43% would vote to leave.
Nationally, 54% of businesses would vote to stay within the EU, the majority of which are exporters, and 37% would vote to leave.
