Hi,

I am reluctantly voting "In" right now but agree with some of the Out arguments.

We cannot vote them out.

The accounts haven't been audited for over 20 years.

Our relations with the rest of the world ARE sometimes worse as we haven't got the right to sort our own deals.

HOWEVER

the economy would take a definite hit in exchange for a possible boost.

The EU has a role in presenting a united face to Mr Putin. If we convince our US allies we want THEM o pay for our defence why SHOULD their citizens in Kansas, Georgia, Montana and many other less glamorous (and wealthy) parts pay??
(Yes, really that IS NATO but Yanks and Russians won't understand that imho.)

So would I change my mind??

Two things would influence me.

1. A charismatic leader of Out that I respect (no Joker Borris thanks)

2. The out campaign committing wholeheartedly to a free trade regime that would potentially deliver the growth we would need. Evert left wing Outer is slavering over adding more protectionism, saving high visibility jobs in unionised, emotive cases by adding a bit more, then a bit more to the costs of every other business in the nation.

Thanks for being interested: this IS going to be tight if folks don't bother to turn out to vote.
