    UK EU in/out or shake it all about poll

    According to every comment or right wing (not the BBC) media outlet the majority of the UK electorate is backing an exit from the EU. What does cUK think? Perhaps many of you don't have business with the EU, so a Brexit is no big deal.

    To quote John Major (I'm no fan):

    "The UK would not be better able to control immigration, nor would it make the UK Parliament more sovereign because to trade with the EU "we would have to accept its regulations,"

    It's a good point, why does the UK electorate believe illegal immigrants heading to the UK will give up at Dunkirk on a EU exit?

    And indeed, regarding trade regulations. The press is keen to bang on about how great Norway has a trading relationship, like the Swiss. It's an excellent point with one minor drawback. Both of those countries are rich, the UK is bankrupt. The pressure we'd put on small businesses would be immense.

    Poll to follow...

    Personally I feel we need to get out. As for trade; nothing stopping us trading with them at all. I also think this would give Stirling a big boost as it did for the Irish before they were forced voted in.

      I take it you're not English or would tourism in Scotland take off
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Illegal migrants are a pretty small proportion of total migration.

              Actually if we weren't in the EU France would find away to get more on our side.

                    Yes I think an EU exit is a good idea.

                    I'm just not sure if I should fly to the US or Canada

                    Advice?
