I'm not gonna advise anyone how to vote but instead I'll give you a much needed bit of advice.DON'T listen to soundbites from either side,make up your own mind.
I guess the most ironic thing about all this is at 58 what ever the vote is it won't affect me as I took early retirement and I'm alright jack.I'm just glad I won't be around to explain to my grandchilderen in 30yrs time why the country is fucked again and those nasty little Tory right wing wankers who promised so much are nowhere to be found.

I am 34, and up until 2004 ish I was happy being in the EU, it seemed to work, this EU no one voted for, the last vote was a trade vote really, this is open door madness, and being run from a far, and in 30 years time I don't want to explain to my grand kids, why the UK is fucked because we never took the chance to vote out of this mess.

You'll be explaining to your kids why you took their right to free movement and trade with the biggest single world market away, nothing more, nothing less.

And ,Bluebird for life my friend , I am afraid that you will have to explain to your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren why our generation did not stop European federalisation when WE had the chance to stop it in 2016.

please Powys - don't be influenced by the little Englanders who have far more sinister agendas than leaving the EU and remember we have an opt out on anything that attempts to remove sovereignty, just like we have with the Euro and any other bits of the constitution we don't want to be part of. Most of my children are old enough to vote; one has a three year old daughter, and they have come to their own conclusion that being part of Europe is the way forward. I'm proud of them as free thinkers who are unconcerned by the old guard. Do you honestly want to live in a country ruled by Gove, Johnson and Farrage because I know I don't.

My point is: The whole direction of the EU at this present moment in time is further integration and less National sovereignty. Not just for UK but many of the other skeptical countries within the EU. Most of the "poorer" (or at least used to be poorer financially) do as they are instructed and do not use their veto's as they love the extra money and Guess where that comes from? (Germany, France, UK, Denmark, Netherlands, etc). Just take Malta for example, Valletta has changed beyond recognition over the past 10 years or so. It does not take a lot to work out what direction the whole EU experiment will take all of us who are in it.
Like I say, what will be will be, if we do vote to remain, that's Democracy in action and I hope that everybody votes and takes the decision whichever way it goes.
My opinion, and I am not influenced by anybody, just what I have seen and witnessed over my adult years is VOTE LEAVE and take back control.
