If you look at the EU referendum neither side actually presented the voters with facts
From a personal point of view, I knew what I wanted to know....it is corrupt + nobody can tell me that it is working for us. In any event, would you have believed that any of the politicians would tell the truth?

Do people seriously believe they can get a better deal from being a non member than a member?
Absolutely, with as mentioned before there are 160+ other countries out there to trade with. Another little secret that they keep to themselves, is that VAT is NOT allowed to be lowered below 15%. I am not saying that we will.....but the option is there when we are totally free. If you remember it was lowered to give the economy a boost a few years back.

I don't fall for the line that the Germans are pooping their pants because it'll be more expensive to buy BMW's - because the people wanting BMW's will buy them regardless - besides, if we were to buy from our home grown manufacturers what would we buy? A Nissan leaf perhaps?
Try Jaguar....cheaper and better. Imo BMW and German wine, are not the be all and end all - unintended pun......I am looking at the glass half full - not the glass half empty.

The entire thought of brexit was ill conceived and those politicians in favour of it have fooled many people.
How so? When you have politicians who are in the know, arguing as to whether we should be in or out after 40 + years of belonging - then that speaks volumes.
It did not fool me for one minute! I have lived in an era when we did not belong to the EU - I have lived in the entire duration of being in the EU........make no mistake it is getting worse in this country, as is the case for France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and no doubt many others. I see a situation whereby they will keep on moving industry/production to cheaper (labour wise) countries, this in order to generate as much profit as possible for the so called elite, in turn keeping populations and countries poor - that is why the rich/poor divide has gotten much larger.

Those regions such as Wales that have received grants from the EU should be very much aware, that those grants were given, by our own money, but there is no guarantee any future government would give the money if we were our of the EU. In actual fact I am pretty certain the last thing on any governments mind would be Wales, Scotland or Northern England.
There is no guarantee that these grants will continue if we stay in the EU! In fact, I firmly believe that they are chucking us a line and will eventually reel us in, the grants will then be sent to the next poorest country/countries that they allow in. As a point of interest; They built a road across the Heads of the Valleys costing a fortune - in reality, it is the road to nowhere if you do not have a job to go to. They then go on about the poor farmers losing out, (rarely see a poor one), and yet Port Talbot steelworks (and the rest of our Steel industry) barely gets a mention re grants.

Maybe, just maybe, this brexit idea was a complete and honest mistake that should be reversed.
The only mistake was joining this corrupt organisation in the first place.
As mentioned previously; The one thing that is more important than the election or Brexit is democracy, it has to be honoured in both cases, otherwise it will cause trouble for this country, for years to come.
