As far as I can see both sides of the arguement cancell each other out and far too much from both sides is based on guesswork backed up by conflicting statistics.

 

For me it finally comes down to whether or not I want to live in a democracy which the EU definitely isn't.  It doesn't have any plans to change into a democracy.  So far as I've heard there are no reforms in the pipe-line to even start the process.

 

So I'll be voting LEAVE.

So reducing our influence in Europe, but handing more power to our unelected head of state, unelected second chamber, as well as Rupert Murdoch is a good thing for democracy?

Sums up that some people are citing Singapore as an example to look up to.  They do realise they've had the same government since 1959? Political opposition is a no-no. As is a free press. 

To me, it's like the majority (not all) of the baby-boomer generation are treating this referendum as a jolly up down the casino, and have no qualms about the consequences when their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids have to foot the bill.
