the referendum was initiated by the people that is why it has taken so long, the results of which will not make any immediate impact (apart from interest rates) because it is just an internal vote the act of leaving (if the out vote wins) will take many years, I for one am an IN for many reasons, the problems we have are nothing to do with European law makers, the law of the land are at fault, we could make prison fit the crime but we don't, the majority (over 95%) of crimes are committed by white brits, its just that the media can write about the stories that get the masses going, there are exceptions......there are more British scroungers than foreigners on the dole, we could not survive without migrant workers also I know many non brits that have come here and have had 2 or 3 cleaning jobs going to keep their heads above water all of them have a higher degree or masters or PHD! and do the meanial until they get/got the job in their field! their Brit born equivalent wouldn't bother, theyd just go and claim, Europe is a great place its just run by @ankers, THE euro is crap but we were never going there anyway, if we are in Europe and had the right politicians we could manage the continent better as it happens our political system is bankrupt, Boris for president, here endeth the sermon, probably should not have logged in after all of those Irish black stouts!
