I will be voting in. My Russian wife is voting in.
And my Polish tenants who get housing benefit are vote in.

You know it makes sense. Remain.

Russians, Poles, Remainians...

Sound like one of those dodgy retain 90% offshore tax schemes 'give me all of your money and I'll give you most of it back minus my cut'... what could possibly go wrong...

Politicians were there first....

[SlipTheJab]

So the EU spends our money on us and takes a slice for the privilege.

Why can't we just cut out the middle man?

British old farts should have more right to vote than people who are not even British:

Estimates based on the 2011 census put the number of Commonwealth citizens eligible to vote in the forthcoming referendum at between 894,000 and more than 960,000. They join Irish citizens as the only non-Brits allowed to vote in what David Cameron has called a "once in a generation" decision.

5 million seems all too likely

Who will be supporting pension Ponzi scheme without young labour?

You spelled "Baseless conjecture tainted by an air of hysteria" wrong.

Obviously the migration statistics for the last few years are all extreme right wing Tory lies. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all made up by Rupert Murdoch. But just suppose those stats could be right.

https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-migration-and-uk/

Recent figures suggest just over half—around 1.6 million—of the EU nationals living here arrived between 2006 and 2014.

If its 1.6 million over 8 years then its quite realistic to imagine that another 3 million will arrive over the next 16 years.

Never mind Turkey. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia will almost certainly be EU members by then so that's another wave of migrants on top of the existing flow.

So presumably you go direct with your contracts? 😴

Forecasted projections for immigration from the EU is to increase.

Yep, and at the same time UK Govt whined that EU is preventing them from doing it - liars and scumbags for whom EU is an easy target, it would be a disaster for UK Govt to leave EU - who would they blame for their own incompetence???

The working poor, the disabled, those on welfare benefits, those with more than 2 children, those whose families aren't traditional...

Oh they have done that already.

[AtW]

And if they do Germany will think of imaginative but legal ways to limit free movement of people which we can copy. After all it was the German government who won in court over paying work related benefits to an individual, which we have since copied.

One thing is for sure, adding Turkey and the other poor countries on the list to join is going to cost lots more billions to our bill.

Forecasted projections for immigration from the EU is to increase.

It's going to be very costly to vote in, way more than voting out. A vote in is a vote for huge increases in immigration (Turkey are to join the EU very soon), and a huge increase in costs and infrastructure costs. Taxes will rise rapidly if we stay in the EU, as many large poor countries are joining.

If this is the future you want, cripping levels of immigration, crippling tax rises to pay the EU, then go for it, and enjoy for the next 50 years your decision you made.

It's unlikely Turkey will join soon thanks to their human rights record. When you want to join the EU you have to clamp down on your bad behaviour 3 or so years before.

The beauty of EU is that if you don't like UK then you can move elsewhere in EU without visa tulip

That's why staying in EU is very important - otherwise all UK residents become hostages of Tory/Labour Scumverments.

Every country in the EU cannot put less in than they get out.

Or rather if they do there is a huge bubble waiting to burst.

Well ther have been quite a few questions over auditing. Who knows what might be lurking.
