UK EU Referendum

[Mikal]

could be the crumbling point of the EU, leading to eventual breakup.

We can only hope.

League of Nations.

I take this one back, there was more to it.

[Norrage]

We can only hope.

Must say, I have to agree with this. I am 50/50 tho. I do not know the consequenses for a country if stepping out of the EU is a thing. I'm glad this referendum isn't held in the Netherlands tho. We had enough bullshit with the Ukranian thing

[Hevar.]

Essentially, yep. Plus a lot of experts believe that it could be the crumbling point of the EU, leading to eventual breakup.

daayum haha then poor those people which wants to study in UK. Its going be hard for them i guess

Depends on what agreements can be put into place. It'll be easier for the UK than say, France, because the UK uses it's own currency and not the Euro. So at least we have less to worry about from that perspective.

We'd be looking at losing 40% of our imports/exports, but with luck we *might* be able to negotiate at least most of these back if we left.

Honestly I think we'd be leaping off a diving board into a half filled swimming pool. Too many assumptions and not enough plans at the moment!

People forget the origins of the EU. It was born in a dark age, a war torn Europe resulting in the death of millions from 1914-1918, and 1939-1945. Two generations lost to hate, and poison. If the EU has even the tiniest part to play in the prevention of a world war (which I'd say it has), then I'm 100% behind it.

It doesn't stop the hundreds of Chinese students in my city which they've had to build 2 new student accommodation blocks for, and now they are building a third which will be Wales tallest building.

I really don't think we would, in my eyes it would be something we would definitely keep, think about it, 65 million people in the UK, imagine you had a country like France and suddenly you get cut off from trading with that many people, it would be a huge blow to their economy.

As always with our government, they won't make plans until something happens or hits them in the face.

It was born as a trade union which the UK's population completely supported, what it turned into was what we have today, which not all of the UK support.

The globalized economy stops wars from happening, not the EU.

Exchange rate from GPB to EUR has gone up to 1.30 

Was close to exchanging rates last week when it was 1.25. Looks like I'm getting more moooooolah

[Julio.]

Hah, that's because of a surge in the "Remain" opinion polls.

The bookies seem to be betting on us staying in the EU. Bet365 have got 1:7 odds (£11.43 return on a £10 bet) on us staying in the EU, much higher return if we leave.

[Petarda]

These charts are always fake

[Julio.]

The odds aren't

It's about time Michael Gove left anyway. Looking forward to his resignation!
