Default The Org EU referendum

I do not know if it has been done, a quick search cannot find it.

If the government finally gave in to the increasing pressure for a referendum with the simple question of.

Should the UK leave the EEC?


Which way would you vote?

It is a simple yes/no. Feel free to give reason

Its double barrelled if you are Scottish so my answer is No to the UK split and Yes to the EU split.

You're showing your age with the EEC Tim... surely you mean our glorious leaders in the European Union.

I suspect everyone knows what my view would be, given the amount and scope of legislation relating to motorcycles which is passed down like stone tablets from the mountain. As such, it's an outright Yes to leaving.

Scotland is an interesting problem - I suspect they may be in for a world of pain if they leave, and I'd hope not to need a passport to go up there next year. I hope they decide to stay, but I think there is an argument for an English parliament to finally solve some of the constitutional issues in this country.

Oooh tricky one

In my heart it says yes, but my head says no.

Good job Gordo didn't get us into the Euro

On balance I'd say out, but not with UKIP running the country, although some of their ideas do make some sense.

Although Norway has its oil revenue, it hasn't done them any harm staying out

It's just to expensive a club that we get little benefit from.
The club rules are also too restrictive .Given some of the members ignore the rules ( the criteria for joining the Euro one example)
Were better of out such a corrupt gang.

I think we should leave. I also beleive that before any such referendum takes place the British public need to be made of aware of the pro's and con's of being in the EU are so they can make an informed decision on which way to vote, as the vast majority probably have no clue.

Having said that, if we leave, it'll be more decisions for our government to have to make and f**k up, but at least it'll be our own government doing it!

Most of the crap at the minute is our government interpreting EU stuff in the worst possible and most intrusive way. While the rest of the EU ignores it!

Should we come out of the EEC - no. Should we come out of the EU - YES.

If the organisation had stuck to its principles of free trade then being a part of it makes a lot of sense. Shame seems to be all about "federal Europe" and legal harmonisation now...

This. We are one of the few EU states that does exactly what the EU want. France don't, Germany aims ignore everything and dictate everything.

And this! Out of the union but not the free trade agreement, it would up the cost everything imported into the EU- which is nearly everything.

From Asia it goes: Asian Currency- Euro- Sterling
