    Oh please, the Greek empire was huge, and led the thinking of the world - not doing so well now.

    The Aztecs were a fantastically advanced people, again, not so hot now.

    Egypt were THE world power for centuries....are they now?

    Vikings, ottomans - I could go on all day - the HISTORY of a country/nation is just that, stop beating your chest about "old blighty" and come up with a salient argument.

      I think the vote will go in favour of Remain.

      But it may be close, assuming the Polls aren't completely wrong like they were in last year's general election and the Scottish referendum.

        We also think it will be Remain. Too much money at stake for people that depend on the Status Quo. Not enough people with nothing to lose to tip the scales in favour of a jump into the unknown.
        The hope is that Osborne and Cameron are personally compromised beyond repair no matter what the outcome is.

          I'm expecting it to be (very closely) Leave. There are a lot of people who don't vote who are going to use it to kick those in power...

            Agree with you on the likely "very close" result and the anti-Cameron/Osborne public sentiment, but that's nothing in the face of the headwinds.
            At the end of the day money talks, and Rothschild, Soros, Lagarde plus countless others made it pretty clear: CAN'T HAVE BREXIT!
            As Stalin said "He who votes decides nothing; he who counts the votes decides everything"
            Elites would cap the Queen herself if they had to in order to ensure Remain.

                  Or, we could say that result was fraudulent, to try and prove it wasn't fraud 😁

                    If you came up with valid arguments for Brexit, you will be smashed by Brexiers xenophobic nuts.
                    When I posted, in case of a Brexit, that UK could have bilateral agreements between countries, one lady here called me stupid.

                    The most striking piece of information for me is that Switzerland is the most prosperous nation in Europe per head - this is a statistical fact. They are not members of the EU and have a fantastic democratic system which empowers people over politicians and big business.. They have no problem trading with Europe and the rest of the world.

                    Please watch Brexit the movie before you make up your mind. It was a real eye opener for me.

                    If you watch and agree please forward to your friends.

                    This is our chance to sack George Osbourne et all.

                      My thoughts (having already voted today) is that by hook or by crook the remain camp will score a narrow victory.

                      If so, I find it difficult to think that Cameron/Osborne will be able to carry on as the "outers" will have a significant mandate and Tory party support and perhaps enough to force a leadership contest at Conference given the fact that Cameron had to have a referendum at all and then the poorly run and executed, totally negative campaign that had to be propped up by Labour (just me or lukewarm?) and others.

                      That would hopefully bring in those who have a more progressive approach to Europe and who actually want to reform the unaccountable monster. As such should the various legal issues cropping up on contractor tax (more every month) continue and with it the threat of ECJ referral also continue, perhaps they will show their power by reconsidering the flawed policy that has led to the ever growing number of disputes and wasted man hours in HMRC.

                      Perhaps I'm just blowing smoke?
