    This is the best EU debate I've taken part in so far.  Nobody is taking it seriously and it's making me laugh (probably because we mostly agree about staying in image).  Too much woodstain...... image

    I'm starting to actually worry.  Slightly distraught to talk to a family member who said they will be voting out.  I wouldn't mind if there was at least some credible reason, or logic behind the decision.  But all I got was some guff about immigration.

    I don't feel educated enough or even qualified to vote in this ref - and I've tried to read between the li(n)es.  Looking at the personalities and the shower of shastas in the out brigade is almost enough to sway one's opinion.

    The only thing we can all agree on, is that you should vote.

    if you don't vote , you can't complain about the outcome.

    It doesn't matter how clever or educated you are - or not - no-one  can see into the future. All the predictions are guesses or lies, some really cynical and manipulative on both sides. The only thing we can do is think about the issues, our key beliefs and what we are prepared to sacrifice for what we gain. I feel that we should respect both sides but follow our own hearts when we vote. And we should vote because the outcome will affect all of us.

    I'm certainly with the "no matter who you vote for: VOTE" camp.

    If none of the options excite you, why not vote for the one you dislike least?

    Yes, please vote.  It would be completely irresponsible not to

    HH, I saw Corben on last leg, and like you , was impressed. I've never voted Labour and to date had never thought much of him. But he was sincere, credible and convincingly frank.

    You have a choice between two options at the voting booth this referendum.  If you are undecided then surely it makes more sense NOT to vote at all.  A non vote is not a wasted vote in this case.  Think about it.

    I may vote A and later think I should have voted B, and I'll kick myself less if I didn't vote.

    Follow your heart.  Really?

    Regarding on-line privacy, the snoopers charter was pushed through parliament in the dead of night last week, and it's shockingly awful.  Labour voted through this ridiculous piece of legislation. That's all pre-referendum.
